Why Install a Pet Flap?

Freedom for Your Pets

A quality pet flap gives your cat or dog the freedom to come and go as they please, allowing them to explore the outdoors and return home whenever they want. This independence can lead to happier, healthier pets who get the exercise and stimulation they need.

Convenience for Pet Owners

No more getting up at all hours to let your pet in or out. Pet flaps mean your furry friends can manage their own schedule without requiring your assistance, giving you greater freedom and flexibility in your daily routine.

Security Options

Modern pet flaps offer various security features like microchip recognition or magnetic keys, ensuring that only your pets can enter your home. This prevents unwanted animals from gaining access while still providing convenience for your own pets.

Weather Protection

Many pet flaps feature weather sealing to prevent drafts and maintain your home's energy efficiency. This means you don't have to compromise on comfort or heating bills when providing access for your pets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Flap Installation

Can you install a pet flap in a glass door or window?

Yes, we specialise in installing pet flaps in glass doors and windows. This is a more complex installation that requires special tools and expertise, but our skilled technicians are fully equipped for the job. For double-glazed units, we typically need to replace the glass panel with a new one that includes the pet flap. For single-glazed windows, we can sometimes cut the hole directly, depending on the glass type and thickness.

What size pet flap do I need for my dog or cat?

The right size pet flap depends on the size and weight of your pet. For cats and small dogs (under 7kg), a standard cat flap is usually sufficient. Medium dogs (7-18kg) typically need a small dog flap, while larger dogs (over 18kg) require larger dog doors. We recommend measuring your pet's width at the shoulders and height from the floor to their back to determine the appropriate size. During our consultation, we can help you select the right size for your specific pet.

How long does pet flap installation take?

The installation time varies depending on the type of door or window and the complexity of the job. For wooden or UPVC doors, installation typically takes 1-2 hours. Glass installations may take longer, especially if a new glass panel needs to be ordered. Wall installations are more complex and can take 2-3 hours. We'll provide you with a time estimate during our initial consultation based on your specific requirements.

What is your hourly rate for pet flap installation?

MON TO FRI 08:00 to 20:00 £80.00 an hour.

MON TO FRI 20:00 to 08:00 £120.00 an hour.

SAT & SUN 00:01 to 00:00 £130.00 an hour.

However, most pet flap installations are quoted as complete projects rather than hourly rates. We'll provide a clear quote before beginning any work, which will include labour and any additional materials needed for installation.

Will installing a pet flap affect my home security?

Modern pet flaps are designed with security in mind. Options like microchip-activated flaps ensure only your registered pets can enter. For added security, we recommend installing the flap away from door locks and using a pet door with a lockable panel that can be secured when you're away for extended periods. We can advise on the most secure options for your specific situation during our consultation.

Will installing a pet flap invalidate my door warranty or insurance?

This depends on your specific warranty and insurance terms. Some door manufacturers may consider a pet flap installation as a modification that could affect warranty coverage. Similarly, some home insurance policies have specific clauses about modifications to doors and windows. We recommend checking your warranty and insurance documentation before proceeding. As a BS Approved contractor, our professional installation meets industry standards, which may help satisfy insurance requirements.

Do you offer any guarantees on your pet flap installations?

Yes, all our pet flap installations come with a workmanship guarantee. If any issues arise with the installation itself, we'll return to fix them at no additional cost. The pet flaps themselves come with their manufacturer's warranty, which typically ranges from 1-3 years depending on the brand and model. We'll provide all warranty information for both our workmanship and the product at the time of installation.
