Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Edmonton Green, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 47% of Edmonton's 17,818 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N9 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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Edmonton, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Edmonton Green Market in N9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 32% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Tower blocks with a single goods lift, estate service roads and market congestion.
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia) is the nearest station, so a N9 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 Edmonton
Census 2021 puts Edmonton at 17,818 households with a median age of 33.5. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 53% houses and 47% flats need different handling in N9.
Owner-occupation runs at 33% in Edmonton, so alongside the 34% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Edmonton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Edmonton, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Edmonton Green Market. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 32% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a N9 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Edmonton: market, shopping centre and dense post-war housing on the Lea valley flat. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Edmonton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tower blocks with a single goods lift, estate service roads and market congestion — 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 Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia).

Timber door starts at £75 in Edmonton, with 32% social-rented stock nearby, 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 N9 jobs, with this being a short walk from Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia), 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 the Edmonton rounds, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out on N9 jobs.
Yes, in writing. 34% of Edmonton homes are privately rented, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory, and a flap cut without consent is a common deposit deduction for Edmonton (N9) addresses. Send the email and we fit to its conditions on the Edmonton rounds.
Yes, from £190 for a wall up to 350mm — the usual answer in Edmonton, with 34% of N9 homes being privately rented — and 17,818 households on this patch, where 47% 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 Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia), with this being London Borough of Enfield territory — and 47% of homes here being flats, 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 Enfield letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on N9 jobs, with 47% of homes here being flats.
Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier; Fire doors in communal areas across N9 — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with 53% of Edmonton 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. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Edmonton N9 price you agree is the price you pay on the Edmonton rounds, with Edmonton Green Market a few streets away.
All three. With 34% of Edmonton privately rented and 33% owner-occupied, roughly half the N9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Edmonton (N9) addresses — and 53% of Edmonton homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia).
