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 West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained
This page prices cat flap fitting for West Kensington and Olympia W14 specifically: post-war stock, 47% privately rented and 4,112 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — the pattern behind 4,112 households inside the W14 neighbourhood 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
What follows is specific to West Kensington and Olympia: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hammersmith and Fulham agents ask for.
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. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Kensington and Olympia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 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 West Kensington and Olympia
The same scope across W14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, arranged with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham where the kerb needs it
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof — including cat flap fitting
- In West Kensington and Olympia: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, the way it is done on West Kensington and Olympia jobs
- On W14 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 95% 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 W14 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 Hammersmith and Fulham 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 W14

Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in West Kensington and Olympia is chosen on site — the usual failure here is West Kensington and Olympia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Exhibition halls, mansion blocks and the Barons Court terraces. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. West Kensington and Olympia is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, 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.
