Overview
Cat flap fitting in Hampton and Hampton Hill TW12, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Hampton, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 38% of Hampton and Hampton Hill's 5,132 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW12 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Hampton and Hampton Hill
Five steps, the same on every TW12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Hampton and Hampton Hill stock goes, where 65% 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 Hampton and Hampton Hill customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Hampton and Hampton Hill wall.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Hampton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hampton and Hampton Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in TW12, 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 on these streets — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Hampton and Hampton Hill
Fixed prices for TW12 and the rest of Richmond 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 Hampton and Hampton Hill
The same scope across TW12, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On TW12 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, agreed on the doorstep in Hampton and Hampton Hill before anything is unpacked
- In Hampton and Hampton Hill: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, timed against the walk in from Hampton (South Western)
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, noted on the Hampton and Hampton Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, allowing for the 19% of TW12 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, outside the fixed price on Hampton and Hampton Hill bookings
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, quoted separately if you need it arranged in TW12
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, which we refer on to the right trade in Hampton and Hampton Hill
