Overview
Cat flap fitting in Ickenham UB10, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Ickenham, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 12% of Ickenham's 2,922 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 Ickenham
Five steps, the same on every UB10 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 Ickenham (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 Ickenham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Ickenham 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. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Ickenham walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,922 households inside the UB10 neighbourhood in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Ickenham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Ickenham
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 Ickenham
The same scope across UB10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hillingdon bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, allowing for the 14% of UB10 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 Ickenham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Ickenham: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, timed against the walk in from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly)
- On UB10 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, agreed on the doorstep in Ickenham before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, outside the fixed price on Ickenham bookings
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, and we will say so before the UB10 visit rather than on the day
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, which we refer on to the right trade in Ickenham

Working in Ickenham
Ickenham UB10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Ickenham — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Ickenham (UB10) the split is 12% flats to 88% houses over 2,922 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 14% of Ickenham is privately rented and 4% socially rented, a lot of UB10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Ickenham substrates run to cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,922 households inside the UB10 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Ickenham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a UB10 customer twice.
A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet — 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 Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).
