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.

Overview
Cat flap fitting in Hackney Wick E9, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Hackney Wick, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 69% of Hackney Wick's 2,805 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Hackney Wick
Five steps, the same on every E9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 45% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Hackney Wick customers book us
Four things decide whether a E9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hackney Wick walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hackney Wick gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Hackney Wick
Fixed prices for E9 and the rest of Hackney. 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 Hackney Wick
The same scope across E9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hackney bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, arranged with London Borough of Hackney where the kerb needs it
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof — including cat flap fitting prices
- In Hackney Wick: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, the way it is done on Hackney Wick jobs
- On E9 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 69% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, and we will say so before the E9 visit rather than on the day
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E9

Hackney Wick E9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hackney Wick — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Hackney Wick (E9) the split is 69% flats to 31% houses over 2,805 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 28% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most E9 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Hackney Wick is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Hackney Wick gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures — 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 Hackney Wick (Overground).
