Overview

Cat flap fitting in Colliers Wood SW19, explained

Cat flap fitting in Colliers Wood SW19 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Merton, most of them mainly Victorian. 4,286 households sit inside this SW19 patch, 67% of them flats, so we quote on access near Merton Abbey Mills rather than a London average.

How it works

How cat flap fitting works in Colliers Wood

Five steps, the same on every SW19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Colliers Wood gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Colliers Wood customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Colliers Wood wall.

Colliers Wood walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Colliers Wood, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW19, 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 Colliers Wood, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.

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. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.

Booked around your day

Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Cat flap fitting prices in Colliers Wood

Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.

Cat flap fitting price guide for Colliers Wood SW19
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.

Prices are labour and fitting materials; the flap itself can be supplied at cost or you can provide your own. Glass cut-outs are quoted by a glazier and shown separately. Where a lease or a landlord consent is needed we will tell you before booking rather than after. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.

Scope

What's included in Colliers Wood

The same scope across SW19, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

Height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, noted on the Colliers Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Standard on Merton bookings: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, allowing for the 44% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
On SW19 jobs: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, agreed on the doorstep in Colliers Wood before anything is unpacked
In Colliers Wood: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, timed against the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern)

Not included

Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW19
Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Colliers Wood
Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the SW19 visit rather than on the day

Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Colliers Wood, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SW19 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in Colliers Wood: the Wandle trail, Merton Abbey Mills and big-box retail on the High Street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Colliers Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
