Catflap fitting in UPVC Doors & Composite Doors

Whether you have a standard manual cat flap or the latest microchip-operated model, we can install it securely, ensuring your pet enjoys the freedom to come and go while maintaining the security, weatherproofing and appearance of your door.

Professional Cat Flap Installation for uPVC Doors

uPVC doors are one of the most common door types found in UK homes and, in many cases, provide an excellent solution for cat flap installation. However, not all uPVC doors are the same. Some contain reinforced steel panels, decorative mouldings or insulated sections that require the correct tools and experience to install a cat flap safely without compromising the door’s strength or performance. Professional installers will assess the construction of the door before fitting to ensure the most appropriate installation method is used.

At Coastal Cat Flaps, every installation is carefully measured and finished to a high standard, leaving a neat, secure and weather-resistant result that looks as though it was always part of the door.

Composite Door Cat Flap Specialists

Composite doors offer outstanding security, insulation and durability, but they also require specialist knowledge when fitting a cat flap. Many composite doors contain steel or reinforced cores, making them significantly more complex than standard timber or uPVC doors. Using the wrong techniques can damage the door or affect its structural integrity.

Our experience means we understand the different construction methods used by composite door manufacturers and can advise on the most suitable installation for your particular door. Where appropriate, we can recommend the best location to achieve both a professional appearance and easy access for your cat.

Microchip Cat Flaps and Modern Pet Doors

Many homeowners now choose microchip cat flaps for added security. These intelligent pet doors recognise your cat’s existing microchip, allowing entry only to registered pets while helping to keep neighbouring cats and unwanted wildlife outside.

We can install most leading brands, including SureFlap, Pet Mate and other popular manufacturers, whether you have already purchased your cat flap or would like advice on selecting the right model for your home and pet. Modern cat flaps also offer features such as four-way locking, curfew settings and programmable access controls, giving you complete flexibility over when your pet can come and go.

FAQs

Can a cat flap be installed in any type of door?

Cat flaps can be professionally installed into most types of doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, wooden doors and glazed doors. They can also be fitted into suitable wall panels and other locations where a conventional door installation isn’t practical.

The installation method will depend on the construction and material of the door. At Coastal Cat Flaps, we assess the best position and fitting method to provide a neat, secure and professional cat flap installation while minimising disruption to the existing door.

Can you install a cat flap into double glazing?

Yes. We provide professional cat flap installation into double-glazed doors and windows. However, a hole cannot simply be cut into an existing toughened double-glazed unit, as this would cause the glass to shatter.

Instead, a new toughened double-glazed sealed unit is manufactured with the correctly sized hole incorporated during production. Once ready, the existing glass unit is removed and replaced with the new panel before the cat flap is professionally fitted. This provides a safe, neat and permanent solution without compromising the integrity of the glazing.

How long does cat flap installation take?

A straightforward cat flap installation into a uPVC, composite or wooden door can usually be completed during a single visit, with the fitting itself typically taking around one to two hours, depending on the door construction and type of cat flap being installed.

Installations into double glazing require additional preparation because a replacement sealed glass unit normally needs to be measured and manufactured before fitting. We can advise on the expected timescale when providing your quotation.

Do you fit dog flaps?

Yes. As well as specialist cat flap fitting, Coastal Cat Flaps also provides professional dog flap installation for suitable doors, panels and other locations.

Dog flaps are generally larger than cat flaps, so careful consideration needs to be given to the size and construction of the door and the appropriate flap for your dog. We can advise on a suitable installation and professionally fit the dog flap to provide your pet with convenient access to your home and garden.
