Overview
Cat flap fitting in Moorgate EC2, explained
Cat flap fitting in Moorgate EC2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them recent new-build. 4,914 households sit inside this EC2 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Finsbury Circus Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Moorgate
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 — measured on the walk in from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map 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 Moorgate customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Moorgate walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Moorgate stock goes, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Moorgate
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 Moorgate
The same scope across EC2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Moorgate: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, the way it is done on Moorgate jobs
- On EC2 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on City of London bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, arranged with City of London Corporation where the kerb needs it
- Microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased — including local cat flap fitting
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Moorgate
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC2

Moorgate EC2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Moorgate — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Moorgate (EC2) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
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.
Moorgate substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Moorgate stock goes, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a EC2 customer twice.
Moorgate 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 — office core around Finsbury Circus and Liverpool Street, with a small resident population above the shops — which is why a EC2 quote is not a City of London average.
On access, congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents — 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 Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line).
