Overview
Cat flap fitting in Harringay N4, explained
This page prices cat flap fitting for Harringay N4 specifically: period conversion stock, 45% privately rented and 12,105 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Haringey permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Harringay
Five steps, the same on every N4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Harringay stock goes, which is what a 66% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Harringay actually produces 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 Harringay customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Harringay wall.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Harringay Green Lanes (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Harringay walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in N4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 30% one-person households in Harringay, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Harringay
Fixed prices for N4 and the rest of Haringey. 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. |
