How it works
How cat flap fitting works in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street
Five steps, the same on every SE1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the London Bridge and Bermondsey Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Borough Market 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 London Bridge and Bermondsey Street customers book us
What follows is specific to London Bridge and Bermondsey Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork Southwark agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SE1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
London Bridge and Bermondsey Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, often with surface conduit — which is what a 95% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering London Bridge and Bermondsey Street actually produces in SE1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 4,532 households inside the SE1 neighbourhood.
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 London Bridge and Bermondsey Street
Fixed prices for SE1 and the rest of Southwark. 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 London Bridge and Bermondsey Street
The same scope across SE1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE1 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, agreed on the doorstep in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street before anything is unpacked
- In London Bridge and Bermondsey Street: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, timed against the walk in from London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail)
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, noted on the London Bridge and Bermondsey Street job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Southwark bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, allowing for the 29% of SE1 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, and we will say so before the SE1 visit rather than on the day
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, outside the fixed price on London Bridge and Bermondsey Street bookings
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE1

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, often with surface conduit — which is what a 95% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering London Bridge and Bermondsey Street actually produces, so the fixing that matters in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 4,532 households inside the SE1 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows London Bridge and Bermondsey Street knows the pattern near Borough Market: the Shard, Borough Market and the Georgian shopfronts of Bermondsey Street.

The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping on Southwark bookings, with 5% of London Bridge and Bermondsey Street homes being houses, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Can you fit a cat flap in a uPVC door in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street SE1?
Yes — £95, an hour to 90 minutes. The panel is cut in place and the edge capped on this side of Southwark, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out on SE1 jobs.
I rent in SE1 — do I need permission?

Can you fit a cat flap through a wall in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street?

Are your fitters insured for work in SE1?
