Overview
This page prices cat flap fitting for Greenford UB6 specifically: inter-war stock, 30% privately rented and 12,474 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Greenford (Central) rather than assumed from a map in UB6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 12,474 households inside the UB6 neighbourhood.
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. Wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak.
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB6 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 Greenford
Census 2021 puts Greenford at 12,474 households with a median age of 37.3. The inter-war stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 58% houses and 41% flats need different handling in UB6.
Owner-occupation runs at 53% in Greenford, so alongside the 30% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Greenford (Central) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Greenford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 12,474 households inside the UB6 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenford: canal-side industry, the Central line's wooden escalator and 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. Nearest station is Greenford (Central), 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 Greenford, with this being a short walk from Greenford (Central), 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 UB6 jobs, with The Grand Union Canal at Greenford a few streets away, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Yes — £95, an hour to 90 minutes. The panel is cut in place and the edge capped on this side of Ealing, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out in this 41% flats neighbourhood.
Yes, in writing. 30% of Greenford homes are privately rented, with 30% of UB6 homes being privately rented, and a flap cut without consent is a common deposit deduction for Greenford (UB6) addresses. Send the email and we fit to its conditions on this side of Ealing.
Yes, from £190 for a wall up to 350mm — the usual answer in Greenford — and this being London Borough of Ealing territory, with 58% of Greenford homes being houses, where 41% of homes are flats with glazed back doors: we core-drill and fit a lined tunnel.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. We check leasehold and landlord consent before cutting anything around Greenford (Central), with Ealing parking rules in play — and 24% one-person households here, and we will not cut a communal fire door — that would void its rating and the block's fire strategy. That paperwork is what most Ealing letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on UB6 jobs, with 24% one-person households here.
Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier; Fire doors in communal areas across UB6, with 58% of Greenford homes being houses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, where a cut-out would void the fire rating; Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenford UB6 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Ealing, with The Grand Union Canal at Greenford a few streets away.
All three. With 30% of Greenford privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on UB6 jobs — and 24% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Greenford (Central).
