Cat Flaps In West London

Cat flap fitting covers several installation types depending on your property. The most straightforward is fitting a pet door into a solid uPVC or timber door, where a hole is cut to the manufacturer’s template and the flap is secured in place. For a cat flap in glass, whether single glazed or as part of a double glazed unit, the process is different and requires specialist glazing knowledge. Cutting directly into an existing sealed unit is not an option because it breaks the hermetic seal and causes the unit to mist internally. Instead, a glazier measures the existing pane, manufactures a new toughened glass unit with the cat flap hole already incorporated, and fits that replacement unit into your existing frame.

When it comes to choosing the right flap, there are several options worth considering. A microchip cat flap reads your pet’s existing microchip and only unlocks for registered animals, which is particularly useful in denser urban areas like West London where neighbouring cats can wander in. A locking cat flap offers manual control over entry and exit, and a standard four-way locking model suits most households. For properties fitted with double glazing, Montrose Glass supplies a new sealed unit with the flap pre-fitted, preserving the thermal and acoustic performance of the window. Whether you need a cat flap glazier in West London for a straightforward door installation or a more involved double glazed cat flap replacement, the process is assessed on site before any work begins.
