Cat Flaps In Kent

Cat flap fitting covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the pet door installed. The most straightforward option is fitting a cat flap into a solid uPVC or timber door, where a hole is cut to the manufacturer’s template and the flap unit is secured in place. For a wall installation, a core drill is used to create a tunnel through the brickwork, and a liner is fitted to protect the edges. Both of these approaches are common across Kent’s housing stock, including the many Victorian and Edwardian terraces found in towns such as Canterbury, Gravesend, and Tunbridge Wells.

Cat flap fitted in glass in Kent is a more specialist task. A glazier cannot simply cut a hole into an existing sealed double glazed unit. Doing so breaks the hermetic seal, which causes the unit to mist internally and lose its thermal and acoustic properties. Instead, Montrose Glass supplies a new toughened glass pane with the aperture already prepared, and this replacement unit is installed into your existing frame. This approach works for double glazed cat flap installations in windows, back doors, and conservatory panels. Our Window Glazing service covers the full range of glass types and sizes used across Kent properties, so the replacement unit is matched correctly. For clients choosing a microchip cat flap, a locking cat flap, or a more basic single-flap design, the aperture size and flap housing are accounted for before the glass is prepared. Many jobs are completed in a single visit because our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared on site, reducing the need for return visits.
