Overview
Cat flap fitting in Hammersmith W6, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hammersmith, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 85% of Hammersmith's 3,807 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Hammersmith
Five steps, the same on every W6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In W6, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — with 39% 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 Hammersmith customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Hammersmith wall.
Hammersmith walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W6, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,807 households inside the W6 neighbourhood in W6, 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 Hammersmith stock goes, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Hammersmith
Fixed prices for W6 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 Hammersmith
The same scope across W6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Hammersmith: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, timed against the walk in from Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City)
- On W6 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, agreed on the doorstep in Hammersmith before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, allowing for the 38% of W6 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 Hammersmith 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, outside the fixed price on Hammersmith bookings
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, and we will say so before the W6 visit rather than on the day
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham or a specialist contractor instead

Hammersmith W6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hammersmith — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
3,807 households sit inside the W6 neighbourhood covering Hammersmith. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 85% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (23% owned, 38% privately rented) means a W6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Hammersmith substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W6, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,807 households inside the W6 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hammersmith stock goes, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a W6 customer twice.
Hammersmith 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 — riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station — which is why a W6 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
On access, a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts — 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 Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City).
