Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Chislehurst, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 21% of Chislehurst's 9,685 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR7 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Timber, uPVC, composite, glass or masonry — plus what is behind it. A cavity wall or a glazed panel changes the job completely.
Step 2
Measured to your cat's chest height, so an older or arthritic cat still uses it in two years' time.
Step 3
Template marked, cut from both faces to avoid blow-out, and the edge lined, capped or sealed.
Step 4
Flap fitted square, sealed against draughts and rain, and the fixings drawn up evenly so the frame does not bow.
Step 5
Microchips registered, curfew set if you want one, and the flap left in training mode with the mess cleared.
Why choose us
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in BR7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR7, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
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. Common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives.
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Chislehurst (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

Working in Chislehurst
Walk Chislehurst from Chislehurst Caves and the commons outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 21% of the 9,685 households in BR7 live in flats, 79% in houses.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 77%; the first group books cat flap fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in BR7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in BR7, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Chislehurst: commons, caves and a village of large houses on the Kent border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Chislehurst is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Chislehurst (Southeastern).

Timber door starts at £75 in Chislehurst, with 26% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on this side of Bromley. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping around Chislehurst (Southeastern), with 77% owner-occupation locally, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
