Overview
Cat flap fitting in Greenwich Peninsula SE10, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around North Greenwich, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula's 3,769 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Greenwich Peninsula
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Greenwich Peninsula stock goes, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Greenwich Peninsula customers book us
What follows is specific to Greenwich Peninsula: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich Peninsula walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich Peninsula actually produces in SE10, 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 on these streets — the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood.
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.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Greenwich Peninsula
Fixed prices for SE10 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 Greenwich Peninsula
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE10 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, cat flap fitting included
- In Greenwich Peninsula: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, sized for the event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, checked on every SE10 visit
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 3,769 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich Peninsula
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead

Greenwich Peninsula SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich Peninsula — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Census 2021 puts Greenwich Peninsula at 3,769 households with a median age of 32.6. The recent new-build stock is social-housing-led, which is why 22% houses and 78% flats need different handling in SE10.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 44%; the first group books cat flap fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich Peninsula actually produces behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Greenwich Peninsula knows the pattern near The O2 Arena: the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. We plan the SE10 visit around it. Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. Nearest station is North Greenwich (Jubilee), 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.
