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 South Harrow HA2, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around South Harrow, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 55% of South Harrow's 3,418 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in HA2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in South Harrow
Five steps, the same on every HA2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 South Harrow customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a South Harrow wall.
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. Driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. South Harrow (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
South Harrow walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in South Harrow, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is South Harrow gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in South Harrow
Fixed prices for HA2 and the rest of Harrow. 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 South Harrow
The same scope across HA2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Harrow bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, allowing for the 37% of HA2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, noted on the South Harrow job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In South Harrow: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, timed against the walk in from South Harrow (Piccadilly)
- On HA2 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, agreed on the doorstep in South Harrow before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, which we refer on to the right trade in South Harrow
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, quoted separately if you need it arranged in HA2
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the HA2 visit rather than on the day

South Harrow HA2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Harrow — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In South Harrow (HA2) the split is 55% flats to 45% houses over 3,418 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The renter-heavy mix here (45% owned, 37% privately rented) means a HA2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
South Harrow substrates run to solid London stock brick in South Harrow, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because South Harrow gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a HA2 customer twice.
A busy shopping parade and residential streets running down to Northolt. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. South Harrow 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: driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays. South Harrow (Piccadilly) 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.
