Cat flap fitting in Scarborough covers several different scenarios depending on where the pet door needs to go. The most straightforward installation is into a solid uPVC or timber door, where the flap housing is cut in and secured directly into the door panel. Fitting a cat flap into glass, however, requires a different approach. It is not possible to cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit without breaking the airtight seal and causing the glass to mist over permanently. Instead, a glazier measures the existing frame, cuts and prepares a new toughened glass pane with the cat flap hole already incorporated, and fits the complete unit into your frame. This keeps the sealed unit intact, the window weatherproof, and your home secure.
Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared on site, which means the majority of cat flap fitted in glass jobs in Scarborough are completed in a single visit. You can choose from a range of flap types to suit your situation: a standard locking cat flap, a four-way locking cat flap, or a microchip cat flap that reads your pet’s implanted chip or a programmed collar tag, so only your own cat can enter. For homeowners in Scarborough’s older Victorian terraces, where original timber frames are still common, our glaziers are experienced in working with non-standard frame sizes and can advise on the best fit for your property. We also handle pet door installation in Scarborough into external walls where no suitable door or window exists, though this is a more involved job that the glazier will assess on site.
