Overview
Cat flap fitting in Teddington TW11, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Teddington, cat flap fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 46% of Teddington's 10,821 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Teddington
Five steps, the same on every TW11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Teddington 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 Teddington customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Teddington wall.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Teddington (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Teddington walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in TW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in TW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways.
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 Teddington
Fixed prices for TW11 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 Teddington
The same scope across TW11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On TW11 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, cat flap fitting included
- In Teddington: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, sized for the narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, checked on every TW11 visit
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, with 10,821 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, outside the fixed price on Teddington bookings
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, quoted separately if you need it arranged in TW11
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, which we refer on to the right trade in Teddington

Walk Teddington from Teddington Lock and Bushy Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 46% of the 10,821 households in TW11 live in flats, 54% in houses.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 65%; the first group books cat flap fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Teddington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in TW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Teddington knows the pattern near Teddington Lock and Bushy Park: the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep. We plan the TW11 visit around it. Teddington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Nearest station is Teddington (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.

Are your fitters insured for work in TW11?
