Cat flap fitting in Liverpool Street EC2, explained

How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Liverpool Street
Five steps, the same on every EC2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC2, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Liverpool Street customers book us
What follows is specific to Liverpool Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.
Liverpool Street walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Liverpool Street, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC2 neighbourhood in EC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Liverpool Street stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
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. Broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Liverpool Street
Fixed prices for EC2 and the rest of City of London. 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 Liverpool Street
The same scope across EC2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Liverpool Street: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, sized for the broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled
- On EC2 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, cat flap fitting included
- Standard on City of London bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, with 4,914 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, checked on every EC2 visit
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, and we will say so before the EC2 visit rather than on the day
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, which we refer on to the right trade in Liverpool Street

Liverpool Street EC2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Liverpool Street — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Liverpool Street EC2 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,914 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (37% owned, 48% privately rented) means a EC2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Liverpool Street, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC2 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Liverpool Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Liverpool Street stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Liverpool Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other — which is why a EC2 quote is not a City of London average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled. Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) is the nearest station, 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.
