Overview
Cat flap fitting in St Paul's EC4, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around St Paul's, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 98% of St Paul's's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC4 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in St Paul's
Five steps, the same on every EC4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the St Paul's stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 St Paul's customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a St Paul's wall.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St Paul's walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC4, with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from St Paul's (Central) rather than assumed from a map in EC4, 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 on these streets — the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood.
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 St Paul's
Fixed prices for EC4 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 St Paul's
The same scope across EC4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EC4 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In St Paul's: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, the way it is done on St Paul's jobs
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways — including cat flap fitting prices
- Standard on City of London bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, arranged with City of London Corporation where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC4
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in St Paul's
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead

Working in St Paul's
St Paul's EC4 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers St Paul's — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Walk St Paul's from St Paul's Cathedral outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 98% of the 4,914 households in EC4 live in flats, 2% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 37% in St Paul's, so alongside the 48% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC4, with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from St Paul's (Central) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in St Paul's is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows St Paul's knows the pattern near St Paul's Cathedral: cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge. We plan the EC4 visit around it. St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. St Paul's (Central) 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.

Timber door starts at £75 in St Paul's on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral, with 4,914 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping on this side of City of London, with City of London parking rules in play, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Can you fit a cat flap in a uPVC door in St Paul's EC4?
Yes — £95, an hour to 90 minutes. The panel is cut in place and the edge capped on EC4 jobs, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral.

Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. We check leasehold and landlord consent before cutting anything for St Paul's (EC4) addresses — and 4,914 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central), and we will not cut a communal fire door — that would void its rating and the block's fire strategy.

What is not included in cat flap fitting in St Paul's?
Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier; Fire doors in communal areas across EC4, with 15% social-rented stock nearby — and St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away, where a cut-out would void the fire rating; Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey.
