Overview
Cat flap fitting in Hillingdon UB10, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Hillingdon, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 19% of Hillingdon's 9,151 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Hillingdon
Five steps, the same on every UB10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In UB10, Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls — measured on the walk in from Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) 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 Hillingdon customers book us
Four things decide whether a UB10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Hillingdon walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, the reality on the streets around Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Hillingdon stock goes, where 61% 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. Wide roads and driveways throughout; the A40 junctions congest at peak.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Hillingdon
Fixed prices for UB10 and the rest of Hillingdon. 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 Hillingdon
The same scope across UB10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Hillingdon: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, the way it is done on Hillingdon jobs
- On UB10 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, with 19% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Hillingdon bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, arranged with London Borough of Hillingdon where the kerb needs it
- Microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased — including local cat flap fitting
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in UB10
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, outside the fixed price on Hillingdon bookings
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the UB10 visit rather than on the day

Working in Hillingdon
Hillingdon UB10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hillingdon — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
9,151 households sit inside the UB10 neighbourhood covering Hillingdon. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 19% of those homes are flats.
Because 23% of Hillingdon is privately rented and 16% socially rented, a lot of UB10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Hillingdon substrates run to timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, the reality on the streets around Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Hillingdon stock goes, where 61% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a UB10 customer twice.
Hillingdon 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 — suburban streets between Uxbridge and Ickenham, with the hospital nearby — which is why a UB10 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
On access, wide roads and driveways throughout; the A40 junctions congest at peak — 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 Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).
