This page prices cat flap fitting for Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks E1 specifically: recent new-build stock, 47% privately rented and 2,891 households in total.

How it works

How cat flap fitting works in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks

Five steps, the same on every E1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is what we plan for here.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Cut and line

    Template marked, cut from both faces to avoid blow-out, and the edge lined, capped or sealed.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks wall.

Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks walls, not generic walls

We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 39% one-person households in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

Insured and documented

Fitters carry £1m 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.

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. Marina estate access control, tourist congestion and booked service lifts.

Booked around your day

Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Tower Hill (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Cat flap fitting prices in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks

Fixed prices for E1 and the rest of Tower Hamlets. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Cat flap fitting price guide for Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks E1
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Timber door£7545–60 minCut, chamfered and sealed so the door edge does not swell in winter.
uPVC door panel£951–1.5 hrsThe panel is cut in place with the frame protected, and the cut edge capped so water cannot track in.
Composite door£1201–2 hrsA 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£1902–3 hrsCore-drilled both sides with a tunnel liner fitted, so the cavity is never left open.
Glass panel — cut-out supplied by a glazier£1101 hrToughened glass cannot be cut on site; we template it, fit the replacement pane and set the flap.
Microchip flap set-up and training mode£2515–20 minChips registered, curfew and selective entry configured, and the flap left on training setting.

Prices are labour and fitting materials; the flap itself can be supplied at cost or you can provide your own. Glass cut-outs are quoted by a glazier and shown separately. Where a lease or a landlord consent is needed we will tell you before booking rather than after. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.

Scope

What's included in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks

The same scope across E1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, noted on the Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, allowing for the 47% of E1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On E1 jobs: draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, agreed on the doorstep in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks before anything is unpacked
  • In Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, timed against the walk in from Tower Hill (Circle, District)

Not included

  • Cutting toughened or laminated glass on site — it must be replaced by a glazier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E1
  • Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, which we refer on to the right trade in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks
  • Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the E1 visit rather than on the day

I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
