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
Prosperous market town with mock-Tudor arcades, Victorian villas and Edwardian avenues around Malvern & Brueton Park. That housing mix shapes every cat flap fitting job we run in B91 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around St Alphege Church spire and Touchwood shopping centre, 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 Solihull town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow B91 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Sheltered Blythe valley pockets keep patios damp through spring — ideal conditions for lichen bloom.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Solihull
A cat flap fitting in Solihull is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster dominant across West Midlands, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Solihull 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.
Solihull properties are predominantly 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster: interwar semis and Corporation housing built as brick cavity walls, skimmed in gypsum, with joists running front-to-back at 400mm centres. That means nylon plugs into the outer leaf for light loads, and long cavity-spanning frame fixings for anything that cantilevers off the wall. Get it wrong and a fixing that only grips the plaster skim and the first 15mm of brick will sag within weeks once a load is hung on it. On load, good for heavy fixings provided the fixing reaches the brick — we always drill through the skim, never into it. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Sheltered Blythe valley pockets keep patios damp through spring — ideal conditions for lichen bloom. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Solihull, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Solihull's Victorian villas around Malvern Park have generous landings but restricted on-street parking, so we book a slot that avoids the school run on Streetsbrook Road.
Every Solihull 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.

Solihull (B91, West Midlands) is prosperous market town with mock-Tudor arcades, Victorian villas and Edwardian avenues around Malvern & Brueton Park. St Alphege Church spire and Touchwood shopping centre anchors the area, and the streets around it are built largely in Weathered red-clay brick, Indian sandstone patios and imprinted-concrete driveways.
That matters for cat flap fitting: sheltered Blythe valley pockets keep patios damp through spring — ideal conditions for lichen bloom. Roughly 27% of the housing stock here pre-dates the war and 30% is flats or terraces, so our crews plan for stair turns, shared entries and tight kerbside loading rather than assuming driveway access.
We work Solihull alongside Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Hampton-in-Arden, which keeps travel time short and lets us hold morning and afternoon slots in the same B91 run.
Our Solihull crews are the West Midlands crews. They know that named by town and island, not by borough or postcode district, that clean Air Zone compliant vans, permits arranged in advance, slots given as times not windows, and that a cat flap fitting booking in B91 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.
