Cat Flaps In Wandsworth

Cat flap fitting in Wandsworth covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the flap positioned. In a uPVC or timber door, the panel is measured and the flap is cut in and fitted directly. In a wall installation, the job involves cutting through the masonry and fitting a tunnel-style pet door. When it comes to fitting a cat flap in glass, the process works differently. You cannot simply cut a hole into an existing sealed unit. Instead, a glazier measures the opening, a new pane is manufactured with the hole pre-cut and finished, and this replacement unit is fitted into your existing frame. This keeps the sealed unit intact and preserves the thermal and acoustic performance of the window. For all glass-based work, Montrose Glass vans carry stock that can be cut and prepared on site, and many jobs are completed without a return visit.

When it comes to the type of flap itself, there are several options worth considering. A standard locking cat flap gives you manual control over when your pet can come and go. A microchip cat flap reads your cat’s existing microchip and only allows your pet through, which is useful in areas with a high density of neighbouring cats. A double glazed cat flap, meaning a flap fitted into a new sealed unit, can be specified with any of these options. A cat flap glazier in Wandsworth can advise on which type suits your door or window configuration and the security level you need.
