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 Harold Wood and Harold Hill RM3, explained
Cat flap fitting in Harold Wood and Harold Hill RM3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them inter-war. 11,120 households sit inside this RM3 patch, 29% of them flats, so we quote on access near Central Park, Harold Hill rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Harold Wood and Harold Hill
Five steps, the same on every RM3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — measured on the walk in from Harold Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map 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 Harold Wood and Harold Hill customers book us
Four things decide whether a RM3 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. Wide estate roads with easy parking, plus new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Harold Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Harold Wood and Harold Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, and with 29% one-person households in Harold Wood and Harold Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in RM3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Harold Wood and Harold Hill gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Harold Wood and Harold Hill
Fixed prices for RM3 and the rest of Havering. 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. |

The same scope across RM3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Havering bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 11,120 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, checked on every RM3 visit
- In Harold Wood and Harold Hill: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, sized for the wide estate roads with easy parking, plus new blocks with booked lifts

Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM3

- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by London Borough of Havering or a specialist contractor instead
