Ealing · UB6 · Cat flap fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Perivale fitters · Fixed written pricesPerivale UB6 is a regular stop on our Ealing round. The Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue, so cat flap fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £75, in writing, with insured fitters, the cut edge sealed and the flap set up.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Perivale, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 36% of Perivale's 2,939 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB6 shape the slot length we hold.
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 — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 2,939 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. Driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest.
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Perivale (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. |

Working in Perivale
The UB6 stock around The Hoover Building on Western Avenue is inter-war. ONS records 36% flats, 64% houses and 2,939 households in Perivale.
Owner-occupation runs at 53% in Perivale, so alongside the 40% 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 — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Perivale 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 2,939 households inside the UB6 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Perivale: the Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Perivale is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest. Perivale (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.
