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.

Overview
Cat flap fitting in Addiscombe CR0, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Addiscombe, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 42% of Addiscombe's 11,026 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR0 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Addiscombe
Five steps, the same on every CR0 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — the pattern behind 11,026 households inside the CR0 neighbourhood 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 Addiscombe customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Addiscombe wall.
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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Addiscombe walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in CR0, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% one-person households in Addiscombe, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Addiscombe
Fixed prices for CR0 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Addiscombe
The same scope across CR0, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 11,026 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, checked on every CR0 visit
- In Addiscombe: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, sized for the tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops
- On CR0 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, cat flap fitting included
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, and we will say so before the CR0 visit rather than on the day
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR0

Addiscombe CR0 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Addiscombe — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Addiscombe (CR0) the split is 42% flats to 58% houses over 11,026 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 33% private renting against 54% owner-occupied, most CR0 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in CR0, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% one-person households in Addiscombe, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Addiscombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Nearest station is Addiscombe (Tramlink), 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.

Can you fit a cat flap in a uPVC door in Addiscombe CR0?

Do you handle difficult access in Addiscombe?

Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. We check leasehold and landlord consent before cutting anything around Addiscombe (Tramlink), with 30% one-person households here — and 33% of CR0 homes being privately rented, 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 Addiscombe?
Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier; Fire doors in communal areas on the Addiscombe rounds — and Ashburton Park a few streets away, with 58% of Addiscombe homes being houses, where a cut-out would void the fire rating; Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey.
