F.A.Q.
A wall cat flap installation will typically take 2-3hours to complete. Our prices for local wall installation start from £339 which includes a standard 4-way locking cat flap, compatible tunnel linings, waste clearance, VAT and fitting to a typical cavity wall. The final price will depend on location, construction type and the cat flap chosen, so please do request a quote today, so we can offer accurate pricing for your wall installation scenario.
We only fit our cat flaps on the interior side of the wall. This is because this is how the manufacturers have designed them to be fitted. If both an exterior and interior flap were fitted, there is a risk your cat could become trapped between the two.
Provided the cat flap and tunnel are fitted and sealed properly, with a slight fall to the outside, then there is no risk of damp.
Ideally to fit a standard sized cat flap in either a cavity or single skin wall, there needs to be at least 40cm of wall available from. This is to allow a full brick from the edge of the wall to the start of the hole. Much less than this and there is an increased risk of the mortar or plaster work cracking during the installation.
As with any leasehold property, you’ll require the freeholders permission before altering the walls in any way. This applies to any type of work on the fabric of the building. All leases are different, so you’ll need to make your own enquiries before going ahead.
We only really recommend wall mounting the cat flaps above. There are lots of cat flaps on the market that say they are suitable for wall mounting, but the compatible tunnel extensions are often not available. Some manufacturers even recommend using plywood to line the tunnel, which is a big no no, as doing this will very likely introduce bridging dampness. If you have a cat flap already, please get in touch and we can advise whether it will be suitable as a wall cat flap.
