Overview
Cat flap fitting in Willesden NW10, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Willesden Green, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 76% of Willesden's 3,705 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Willesden
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, as the Willesden stock goes, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Willesden actually produces 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 Willesden customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Willesden wall.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Willesden Green (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Willesden walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Willesden, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 49% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 — and with 34% one-person households in Willesden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Willesden
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 Willesden
The same scope across NW10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On NW10 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 76% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Willesden: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, the way it is done on Willesden jobs
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways — including cat flap fitting prices
- Standard on Brent bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, arranged with London Borough of Brent where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, handled by London Borough of Brent or a specialist contractor instead
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, and we will say so before the NW10 visit rather than on the day
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, outside the fixed price on Willesden bookings
