Overview
Cat flap fitting in Putney SW15, explained
This page prices cat flap fitting for Putney SW15 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 38% privately rented and 20,613 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How cat flap fitting works in Putney
Five steps, the same on every SW15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Putney stock goes, and with 38% 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 Putney customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Putney walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Putney
Fixed prices for SW15 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Putney
The same scope across SW15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW15 jobs: height set to your cat's chest, not to a standard measurement, agreed on the doorstep in Putney before anything is unpacked
- In Putney: cut edges sealed or capped so the door stays weatherproof, timed against the walk in from Putney (South Western)
- Draught brush and seal fitted and the flap swing tested both ways, noted on the Putney job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: microchip flap registered and left in training mode with the swing eased, allowing for the 38% of SW15 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Putney
- Fire doors in communal areas, where a cut-out would void the fire rating, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural openings through a lintel or an insulated cavity closer without a survey, and we will say so before the SW15 visit rather than on the day

Putney SW15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Putney — the numbers that actually change a cat flap fitting quote.
Census 2021 puts Putney at 20,613 households with a median age of 34.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 28% houses and 72% flats need different handling in SW15.
38% of households rent privately and 47% own, which is why cat flap fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Putney substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Putney knows the pattern near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start: the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. We plan the SW15 visit around it. Putney 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: boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Putney (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.

Common questions
Cat flap fitting in Putney SW15 — your questions.
How much does cat flap fitting cost in Putney SW15?
Timber door starts at £75 in Putney, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on Wandsworth bookings. The material sets the price. Timber is quickest, uPVC and composite need capping on SW15 jobs, with 14% social-rented stock nearby, and a masonry wall means core drilling and a lined tunnel.
Can you fit a cat flap in a uPVC door in Putney SW15?
Yes — £95, an hour to 90 minutes. The panel is cut in place and the edge capped on SW15 jobs, so the door stays weatherproof. If it is glazed, a glazier supplies a pane with the cut-out on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start.
I rent in SW15 — do I need permission?
Yes, in writing. 38% of Putney homes are privately rented, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western), and a flap cut without consent is a common deposit deduction on Wandsworth bookings. Send the email and we fit to its conditions in this 72% flats neighbourhood.
Can you fit a cat flap through a wall in Putney?
Yes, from £190 for a wall up to 350mm — the usual answer in Putney on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start — and 72% of homes here being flats, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, where 72% of homes are flats with glazed back doors: we core-drill and fit a lined tunnel.
Who books cat flap fitting in Putney SW15 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 38% of Putney privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start — and 28% of Putney homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
How quickly can you reach Putney from your Wandsworth round?
Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start is the marker we route to across SW15, with 28% of Putney homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Putney (South Western), and boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Wandsworth, with Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start a few streets away.
Is same-day or evening cat flap fitting available in Wandsworth?
Most cat flap bookings are within 48 hours and take a single short visit on the Putney rounds. Putney sits close to Putney (South Western), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a SW15 job to an existing Wandsworth round at short notice on Wandsworth bookings.
