Top Cat Flap Fitter related questions

You can install a cat flap in the main door of your house, back door, or even interior doors. A cat flap fitter can work with doors, walls, and windows. Cat flap installation is also possible on wooden doors, composite doors, brick walls, double-glazed glass, and UPVC panels. If you’re hiring a fitter to create a cat flap in a glass door, you may need extra help from a glazier. Glaziers can supply a custom glass pane with a pre-cut hole.
Cat flaps range from ordinary cat flaps to tech-savvy magnetic and microchip cat flaps. A microchip cat flap scans the microchip embedded in your cat’s fur, preventing unwanted animals from entering your home. Ordinary cat flaps allow cats to come and go as they please – even when the owner is not home. Magnetic cat flaps enable entry to a cat wearing a magnetic collar and prevents stray cats from entering the door.
A cat flap makes it easy for your cat to go in and out as it pleases without interrupting your day. No more feeling like a doorman to your adventurous cat! Easy access to the outdoors can also offer positive stimulation and physical activity. Some cats may even learn to use an outdoor litter area more often. As a result, you may be able to spend less money on cat litter.  
Cat flap installation involves measuring the cat’s height, cutting a hole in the door, sanding down the sawed edges, and fixing the cat flap in place. A cat flap fitter may take out the exit from its hinges before installing a cat flap. If you haven’t bought a ready-to-use cat flap, your fitter may be able to turn the discarded door panel into a cat flap. Check with your Tasker if they can do this extra service.
Most cat flaps are 15 cm above the floor, which is the average height of a cat’s stomach. Typically, cat flaps aren’t wider than 250 mm. The right cat flap height makes it easy and safe for your cat to go in and out. Your cat flap fitter should measure your cat, as cats vary in size.  
Cat flap installation takes about 1 or 2 hours. Working time may vary depending on the type of surface. Fitting a flap in a wooden door can take around 1 hour. Meanwhile, installing a flap in a brick wall may take 2 - 4 hours. Your Tasker can give you a closer estimate for your specific cat flap installation.
Unfortunately, yes. Cat flaps can pose risks of unwanted animals entering your home. Further, your cat could run into aggressive animals or oncoming vehicles while out at night. Fortunately, you can apply some safety measures to prevent these dangers. One solution is to lock the cat flap at certain times of the day, especially at night. Or you can get a microchip cat flap to prevent other animals from entering your home.
You can use treats, food, or toys to train your cat how to use the cat flap. A cat can feel anxious about going through small spaces and pushing through the flap. Place treats on the other side of the flap, coaxing your cat to go through the flap. To prevent the flap from hitting your cat, hold the flap up with tape. Eventually, put down the flap so your pet can get used to pushing it on their own.

What do cat flap fitting services include?

Cat flap fitting includes every step involved in cat flap installation. From sourcing to installing your cat flap, taskers are here to help! Pet door installers can work with all types of surfaces, including doors, windows, and walls. Materials and working time may vary from Tasker to Tasker.  


Cat flap installation can benefit both you and your cat. Your cat can have some semblance of control over their daily activities. Without waiting for you to open the door for them, your cat can enjoy the outdoors and go back to the safety of your home any time. Meanwhile, you get to have peace of mind, knowing your cat can go in and out of your house even if you’re busy. Here’s what to expect:


Assessing the installation surface 

Attach a photo of your door or other surfaces for cat flap installation. From there, cat flap fitters can assess the materials, working time, and costs for the task at hand. A cat flap can be installed on the main door, back door, interior door, window, or wall. Whether a surface is made of wood, glass, UPVC, or brick, a cat flap fitter may be able to install the cat flap. Provide as many details as possible on your cat flap fitting request - our cat flap fitters may customise their services to meet your needs. 


Sourcing the cat flap 

Cat flap fitters can go to the store and purchase your cat flap on your behalf. No need to drive to the pet supplies store yourself! Experienced cat flap fitters may know the best places to buy affordable and durable cat flaps. Specify your budget and specifications, and leave the rest to your Tasker. Choose an ordinary cat flap, microchip cat flap, or magnetic cat flap. There’s a cat flap for every budget and need. However, to install a cat flap in a glass door, your Tasker may need to prepare a pre-cut glass pane before your appointment. 


Cat flap fitting 

You or cat flap fitter need to measure the height of your cat. On average, cat flaps are 15 cm above the floor. This is the typical height of a cat’s stomach. Afterwards, your Tasker will create an outline and start sawing a hole in the door. Doing so requires precision, making sure the cut is as straight as possible. Finally, your cat flap fitter can drill the cat flap into place. 


On Airtasker, pet door installation services also include dog flap installation. We also connect you to other pet care services so you can get more done. If you need extra hands, pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog boarding services are ready to help.
