Overview
Cat flap fitting in Nunhead SE15, explained

How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Nunhead
Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Nunhead stock goes, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Nunhead customers book us
What follows is specific to Nunhead: 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. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Nunhead walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Nunhead actually produces in SE15, 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 — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Nunhead
Fixed prices for SE15 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 Nunhead
The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE15 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, agreed on the doorstep in Nunhead before anything is unpacked
- In Nunhead: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, timed against the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern)
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, noted on the Nunhead 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 20% of SE15 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, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE15
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Nunhead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead

Nunhead SE15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Nunhead — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Census 2021 puts Nunhead at 7,127 households with a median age of 35.1. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 42% houses and 58% flats need different handling in SE15.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books cat flap fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Nunhead substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Nunhead actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SE15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Nunhead knows the pattern near Nunhead Cemetery: cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley. We plan the SE15 visit around it. Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Nunhead (Southeastern), 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.

Cat flap fitting in Nunhead SE15 — your questions.
How much does cat flap fitting cost in Nunhead SE15?
Timber door starts at £75 in Nunhead, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked for Nunhead (SE15) addresses. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping on Southwark bookings, with Nunhead Cemetery a few streets away, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Can you fit a cat flap in a uPVC door in Nunhead SE15?
Yes — £95, an hour to 90 minutes. The panel is cut in place and the edge capped for Nunhead (SE15) addresses, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out in this 58% flats neighbourhood.
I rent in SE15 — do I need permission?
Yes, in writing. 20% of Nunhead homes are privately rented, with 42% of Nunhead homes being houses, and a flap cut without consent is a common deposit deduction on the Nunhead rounds. Send the email and we fit to its conditions on Southwark bookings.
Can you fit a cat flap through a wall in Nunhead?
Yes, from £190 for a wall up to 350mm — the usual answer in Nunhead for Nunhead (SE15) addresses, with 20% of SE15 homes being privately rented — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, where 58% of homes are flats with glazed back doors: we core-drill and fit a lined tunnel.
Is same-day or evening cat flap fitting available in Southwark?
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit for Nunhead (SE15) addresses. Nunhead sits close to Nunhead (Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a SE15 job to an existing Southwark round at short notice in Nunhead.
Do you handle difficult access in Nunhead?
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station on this side of Southwark. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Southwark it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in this 58% flats neighbourhood — and Nunhead Cemetery a few streets away, with Southwark parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE15?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. We check leasehold and landlord consent before cutting anything on the Nunhead rounds, with 39% social-rented stock nearby — and 30% one-person households here, and we will not cut a communal fire door — that would void its rating and the block's fire strategy. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Southwark bookings, with 41% owner-occupation locally.
