Overview
Cat flap fitting in Hanworth TW13, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Feltham, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 39% of Hanworth's 6,014 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW13 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Hanworth
Five steps, the same on every TW13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 34% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Hanworth customers book us
Four things decide whether a TW13 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 suburban roads with driveways and easy turning.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Feltham (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hanworth walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hanworth, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Feltham (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in TW13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hanworth gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 49% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Hanworth
Fixed prices for TW13 and the rest of Hounslow. 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 Hanworth
The same scope across TW13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hounslow bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, allowing for the 17% of TW13 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 Hanworth job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Hanworth: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, timed against the walk in from Feltham (South Western)
- On TW13 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, agreed on the doorstep in Hanworth before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, handled by London Borough of Hounslow or a specialist contractor instead
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Hanworth
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, outside the fixed price on Hanworth bookings

Hanworth TW13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hanworth — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
In Hanworth (TW13) the split is 39% flats to 61% houses over 6,014 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 17% private renting against 49% owner-occupied, most TW13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Hanworth substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hanworth, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Feltham (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Hanworth gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 49% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a TW13 customer twice.
A quiet residential district around Hanworth Park and the old air park. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Hanworth 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: wide suburban roads with driveways and easy turning. Feltham (South Western) 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.
