Cat flap fitting in New Moston

78% of New Moston bookings are offered a same or next-day slot. Send photos and the details before midday and there is usually someone with you that afternoon, with the visit length agreed up front.

Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are brick cavity walls with bonded plaster, straightforward for brackets once the cable and pipe runs are scanned, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard New Moston job takes around 84 minutes.

Access here is typically nearby kerbside parking confirmed when you book, so no slot time is lost circling. Manchester City Council controls parking in M40, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy the time. Cat flap fitting sits happily alongside anything else on our handyman list — send the whole list and we will price it as one New Moston visit rather than several call-outs.

Most New Moston homes have a 1930s half-glazed timber back door, often with a later uPVC replacement, sitting in a rear porch or utility opening onto the garden The survey confirms the construction before anything is cut, and the flap, fixing kit and liner are matched to that door rather than to a one-size box.

Not into the existing unit — cutting a sealed double-glazed pane breaks the seal and the glass. Locally, the original door commonly has leaded or textured glass in the upper panel with a solid rail and panel below, which is exactly where the flap belongs Where glass is the only route, we measure the unit and order a replacement toughened pane with the aperture cut at the factory, then fit the flap into the new pane.

Yes. External walls here are typically early cavity construction around 260–280mm, straightforward for a standard tunnel extension once the cavity is checked for insulation fill The opening is core drilled, the tunnel lined and sealed at both faces, and the internal and external frames set level so the flap swings freely and stays weathertight.

Long private back gardens with a side gate, so the flap goes in the back or porch door and the cat has a settled route out. On that basis, a microchip flap with a curfew timer suits these streets, where cats roam between gardens but owners want them in overnight. If a flap genuinely is not workable at your property, we will say so on the survey rather than sell you a fitting.
