Handyman & Assembly Services · Staffordshire · WS13
Cat and dog flaps fitted into timber and composite doors, uPVC panels, brick walls and — with a specialist glazier partner — double-glazed units. Microchip flaps are set up and tested with your pet's chip before we leave. In conservation areas across Knowle, Bournville, Warwick and Lichfield we confirm any consent implications before cutting. Conservation-area and listed properties across Warwickshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire are surveyed before any fixing touches historic fabric.

Local knowledge
Cathedral city with three-spired Norman minster, Georgian streets and Samuel Johnson connections. That housing mix shapes every cat flap fitting job we run in WS13 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around Lichfield Cathedral (three-spired sandstone), plan loading where residents' parking is tight, and work to the collection windows your street or building allows.
Day to day that means working around Lichfield town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow WS13 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Sandstone dust from ongoing cathedral works settles on neighbouring paving.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Lichfield
A cat flap fitting in Lichfield is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With heritage timber frame, lath and lime dominant across Staffordshire, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Lichfield landlords and letting agents book us between tenancies for bed frames, wardrobe repairs, re-hung blinds and re-fixed shelving — the small defects that hold up an inventory sign-off.
Lichfield properties are predominantly heritage timber frame, lath and lime: conservation-area and listed stock — timber frame with wattle infill or lath, lime plaster finishes and irregular, out-of-true wall lines. That means hand-driven fixings into the frame wherever possible, breathable lime-compatible repairs, and no percussive drilling on historic fabric. Get it wrong and hammer action on lime plaster shells the face off in sheets, and on listed fabric an unauthorised fixing is a consent issue as well as a repair bill. On load, modest loads only unless we can reach the frame — we survey and tell you honestly before committing to a fixing. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Sandstone dust from ongoing cathedral works settles on neighbouring paving. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Lichfield, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Lichfield's cathedral-close and conservation properties include timber-framed stock, so historic-fabric fixings are surveyed and agreed before work starts.
Every Lichfield visit is billed from a one-hour minimum then in 30-minute increments, with no call-out fee. If the list finishes early you pay for the time actually worked.

Lichfield (WS13, Staffordshire) is cathedral city with three-spired Norman minster, Georgian streets and Samuel Johnson connections. Lichfield Cathedral (three-spired sandstone) anchors the area, and the streets around it are built largely in Local red sandstone, cathedral-close lime mortar and Yorkstone paving.
That matters for cat flap fitting: sandstone dust from ongoing cathedral works settles on neighbouring paving. Roughly 32% of the housing stock here pre-dates the war and 35% is flats or terraces, so our crews plan for stair turns, shared entries and tight kerbside loading rather than assuming driveway access.
We work Lichfield alongside Tamworth, Cannock, Sutton Coldfield, Stafford, which keeps travel time short and lets us hold morning and afternoon slots in the same WS13 run.
Our Lichfield crews are the Staffordshire fringe crews. They know that village first, county second; postcodes are rarely quoted from memory, that gates closed behind the crew, verges kept clear, and a Luton turned on the drive not the lane, and that a cat flap fitting booking in WS13 is judged on turning up when we said we would. Everything below is written the way the job is actually described on the doorstep here.
