Cat Flaps In Epping

For cat flap fitting in Epping into a door, the process depends on the door material. In a uPVC or timber door, a hole is cut to the correct size for the chosen flap, the flap is fitted and sealed, and the door is returned to full working order. Microchip cat flaps and locking cat flaps can both be installed this way, and both offer better security and draught control than standard flap designs. If you have a period property in the Epping town centre with original timber doors, a locking cat flap is often the preferred choice for both security and appearance.

Where a cat flap fitted in glass in Epping is required, the approach is different. It is not possible to cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit without breaking the seal, which causes the unit to mist between the panes. Instead, a new toughened glass pane is manufactured with the cat flap hole pre-cut and the flap factory-fitted before installation. This new sealed unit is then installed directly into your existing frame, so the window remains fully weatherproof and thermally efficient. Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared, and many cat flap in double glazing jobs in Epping are completed on the same day as the initial call. For single glazing, the glass can often be cut on site without the need for a factory-prepared unit. You can find out more about our broader glazing services on our Window Glazing page for Epping.

Microchip cat flaps are increasingly popular in Epping, particularly in terraced streets where neighbouring cats can be a nuisance. A microchip flap reads your cat’s existing implanted chip and only unlocks for that specific animal, which removes the need for a collar or magnet. We can supply and fit microchip flaps into doors, single glazing, or as part of a new double glazed unit.
