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 Richmond Hill and Ham TW10, explained
Cat flap fitting in Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 2,156 households sit inside this TW10 patch, 35% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ham House and the Richmond Hill view rather than a London average.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Richmond Hill and Ham
Five steps, the same on every TW10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map 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 Richmond Hill and Ham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Richmond Hill and Ham 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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Richmond Hill and Ham walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Ham House and the Richmond Hill view in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Fixed prices
Cat flap fitting prices in Richmond Hill and Ham
Fixed prices for TW10 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 Richmond Hill and Ham
The same scope across TW10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, with 2,156 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, checked on every TW10 visit
- In Richmond Hill and Ham: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, sized for the extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at ham and conservation-area limits
- On TW10 jobs: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, cat flap fitting included
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, and we will say so before the TW10 visit rather than on the day
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in TW10

Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Richmond Hill and Ham — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 is Georgian and early Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 35% of homes here are flats and 65% are houses, across 2,156 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (58% owned, 15% privately rented) means a TW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Ham House and the Richmond Hill view behind the plaster in TW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
The protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below. That character decides the practical detail of cat flap fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Richmond Hill and Ham 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: extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Richmond (District, Overground, 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.
