Overview
Cat flap fitting in Welling DA16, explained
Cat flap fitting in Welling DA16 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 3,815 households sit inside this DA16 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near Danson Park and Danson House rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Welling
Five steps, the same on every DA16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — and with 25% one-person households in Welling, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Check the door or wall
Timber, uPVC, composite, glass or masonry — plus what is behind it. A cavity wall or a glazed panel changes the job completely.
Step 2
Set the height
Measured to your cat's chest height, so an older or arthritic cat still uses it in two years' time.
Step 3
Cut and line
Template marked, cut from both faces to avoid blow-out, and the edge lined, capped or sealed.
Step 4
Fit and seal
Flap fitted square, sealed against draughts and rain, and the fixings drawn up evenly so the frame does not bow.
Step 5
Set up and demo
Microchips registered, curfew set if you want one, and the flap left in training mode with the mess cleared.
Why choose us
Why Welling customers book us
Four things decide whether a DA16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for doors and panels; two where a wall tunnel is core-drilled and the debris has to be carried out of a flat. Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Welling walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Welling gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 19% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Welling actually produces.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Welling
Fixed prices for DA16 and the rest of Bexley. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timber door | £75 | 45–60 min | Cut, chamfered and sealed so the door edge does not swell in winter. |
| uPVC door panel | £95 | 1–1.5 hrs | The panel is cut in place with the frame protected, and the cut edge capped so water cannot track in. |
| Composite door | £120 | 1–2 hrs | A composite has a foam core between two skins; both faces must be cut cleanly and the core sealed. |
| Brick or block wall, up to 350mm | £190 | 2–3 hrs | Core-drilled both sides with a tunnel liner fitted, so the cavity is never left open. |
| Glass panel — cut-out supplied by a glazier | £110 | 1 hr | Toughened glass cannot be cut on site; we template it, fit the replacement pane and set the flap. |
| Microchip flap set-up and training mode | £25 | 15–20 min | Chips registered, curfew and selective entry configured, and the flap left on training setting. |

Scope
What's included in Welling
The same scope across DA16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bexley bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, arranged with London Borough of Bexley where the kerb needs it
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof — including cat flap fitting london
- In Welling: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, the way it is done on Welling jobs
- On DA16 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 19% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, which we refer on to the right trade in Welling
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA16
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the DA16 visit rather than on the day

Welling DA16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Welling — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Welling (DA16) the split is 19% flats to 81% houses over 3,815 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 16% of Welling is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of DA16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays, so the fixing that matters in Welling is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Welling gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 19% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Welling actually produces.
A long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. Nearest station is Welling (Southeastern), and one fitter for doors and panels; two where a wall tunnel is core-drilled and the debris has to be carried out of a flat.
