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.

Overview
Cat flap fitting in Holland Park W11, explained
Cat flap fitting in Holland Park W11 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,387 households sit inside this W11 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Holland Park
Five steps, the same on every W11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — with 17% 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 Holland Park customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Holland Park 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 some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Holland Park walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in W11, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Holland Park
Fixed prices for W11 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Holland Park
The same scope across W11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, arranged with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where the kerb needs it
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof — including cat flap fitting
- In Holland Park: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, the way it is done on Holland Park jobs
- On W11 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 80% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W11
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, outside the fixed price on Holland Park bookings
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead

Working in Holland Park
Holland Park W11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Holland Park — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Holland Park W11 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 3,387 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 43% of Holland Park is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of W11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in W11, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. Nearest station is Holland Park (Central), 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.
