Cat Flaps In Bristol

Cat flap installation in Bristol covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the flap fitted. If you have a uPVC or timber door, a glazier cuts a precise hole to the correct dimensions and fits the cat flap directly into the door panel. For wall installations, the process involves cutting through the masonry and fitting a tunnel-style pet door. For glass installations, including a cat flap fitted in glass in Bristol, the approach is different and worth understanding before you call.

A cat flap cannot simply be cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit without breaking the seal. Instead, a glazier supplies a new toughened glass pane with the hole pre-cut and the cat flap already fitted, then installs that new unit into your existing frame. This keeps the sealed unit intact and the window weatherproof. When it comes to choosing the right flap, you have several options. A microchip cat flap reads your pet’s implanted chip and only unlocks for registered animals, which is useful if you live in a busy urban area like Easton or St Pauls where stray or neighbouring cats could otherwise enter. A locking cat flap gives you manual control over access and is a straightforward, lower-cost alternative. Our glaziers will discuss the options with you on site and advise on the best fit for your property and your pet. For a broader look at our work across the city, visit our Window Glazing page.
