Cat Flaps In Suffolk

Cat flap fitting in Suffolk covers several different scenarios, and the right approach depends on where you want the flap positioned. The most straightforward installations involve a uPVC or timber door, where a hole is cut to the correct size and the flap unit is fitted and sealed. For walls, the process is more involved and requires a liner to bridge the thickness of the masonry, but it is entirely achievable and frequently requested in older Suffolk properties where solid brick or flint construction means door and window options are limited.

When a cat flap in glass is required, the process is different from a door fitting. It is not possible to cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit without breaking the seal, which would cause the unit to mist internally. Instead, a cat flap glazier in Suffolk supplies a brand new toughened glass sealed unit with the pet door already incorporated into the pane. This replacement unit is then fitted into your existing frame, so the window remains fully weatherproof and thermally efficient. For single glazing, the glass can often be cut and prepared on site. Montrose Glass offers a range of flap types, including microchip cat flaps that restrict access to your own pet, locking cat flaps for added security, and standard magnetic models. A glazier will talk through the options with you at no call-out charge and recommend the most suitable choice for your window or door type.

Suffolk has a significant stock of period properties, particularly Victorian terraces in Ipswich and older cottages across the county, many of which have non-standard glazing sizes. Because our vans carry glass that can be cut to measure on site, a double glazed cat flap can be produced to fit unusual frame dimensions without a lengthy wait for a factory order. For Window Glazing needs beyond cat flaps, Montrose Glass covers the full range of residential and commercial glazing work across the county.
