Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. We check leasehold and landlord consent before cutting anything, and we will not cut a communal fire door — that would void its rating and the block's fire strategy.

Overview
Cat flap fitting in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10, explained
Cat flap fitting in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Brent, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,940 households sit inside this NW10 patch, 55% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kensal Green Cemetery rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise
Five steps, the same on every NW10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — the pattern behind 3,940 households inside the NW10 neighbourhood 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 Kensal Green and Kensal Rise customers book us
What follows is specific to Kensal Green and Kensal Rise: its walls, its access and the paperwork Brent agents ask for.
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. Narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Kensal Rise (Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kensal Green and Kensal Rise walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Kensal Rise (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise
Fixed prices for NW10 and the rest of Brent. 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 Kensal Green and Kensal Rise
The same scope across NW10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Brent bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 3,940 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, checked on every NW10 visit
- In Kensal Green and Kensal Rise: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, sized for the narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits
- On NW10 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, local cat flap fitting included
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW10
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, outside the fixed price on Kensal Green and Kensal Rise bookings
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by London Borough of Brent or a specialist contractor instead

Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kensal Green and Kensal Rise — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 55% of homes here are flats and 45% are houses, across 3,940 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (49% owned, 30% privately rented) means a NW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kensal Green and Kensal Rise substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Kensal Rise (Overground) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.
Chamberlayne Road's independents and the great Victorian cemetery. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Kensal Green and Kensal Rise is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits. Nearest station is Kensal Rise (Overground), 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.
