Overview
Cat flap fitting in Charlton SE7, explained

How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Charlton
Five steps, the same on every SE7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE7, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Charlton customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE7 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Charlton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Charlton stock goes, which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Charlton actually produces.
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.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Charlton
Fixed prices for SE7 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Charlton
The same scope across SE7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Charlton: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, timed against the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern)
- On SE7 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, agreed on the doorstep in Charlton before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, allowing for the 20% of SE7 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, noted on the Charlton job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Charlton
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE7

Working in Charlton
Charlton SE7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Charlton — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
5,904 households sit inside the SE7 neighbourhood covering Charlton. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 48% of those homes are flats.
With 20% private renting against 41% owner-occupied, most SE7 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Charlton is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Charlton stock goes, which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Charlton actually produces.
Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks — which is why a SE7 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — 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 Charlton (Southeastern).
