Overview
Cat flap fitting in New Malden KT3, explained
This page prices cat flap fitting for New Malden KT3 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 27% privately rented and 6,674 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in New Malden
Five steps, the same on every KT3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In KT3, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood 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 New Malden customers book us
Four things decide whether a KT3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
New Malden walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in KT3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in KT3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the New Malden stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Korean high street on Burlington Road.
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. Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in New Malden
Fixed prices for KT3 and the rest of Kingston upon Thames. 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 New Malden
The same scope across KT3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In New Malden: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, the way it is done on New Malden jobs
- On KT3 jobs: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, with 30% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, arranged with Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames where the kerb needs it
- Microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased — including cat flap fitting
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, which we refer on to the right trade in New Malden
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, quoted separately if you need it arranged in KT3
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, outside the fixed price on New Malden bookings

New Malden KT3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Malden — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
New Malden KT3 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 30% of homes here are flats and 70% are houses, across 6,674 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 27% of New Malden is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of KT3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in KT3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in New Malden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the New Malden stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Korean high street on Burlington Road.
New Malden 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 — home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match — which is why a KT3 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. Nearest station is New Malden (South Western), 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.

All three.
