Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Leicester
Leicester's inner suburbs are full of Victorian terraces, and a high share of households rent, especially around the city's two universities. Those two facts shape most pet flap installations here.

29.4%
of households rent privately
England average: 20.5%
Almost three in ten households rent privately, well above the English average. Tenants need their landlord's written permission first.
26.6%
of homes were built before 1919
England average: 20.3%
More than a quarter of homes were built before 1919. Older terraces usually have solid brick walls.
Victorian terraces
Areas such as Clarendon Park, Highfields, Westcotes and Belgrave have long streets of Victorian terraces with back yards. A cat flap in the back door is usually the simplest option. Solid brick walls can take a wall flap with a longer tunnel if you'd rather keep the door intact.
Student and rented homes
Around the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, many houses are let to students or sharers. If you rent, ask your landlord or agent before booking. A flap in a replaceable uPVC door panel is often the easiest option for a landlord to agree to.

Questions from homeowners in Leicester
I rent in Clarendon Park. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in the back door is the most common request.
Is a wall flap possible in a Victorian terrace?
Yes, with an extended tunnel through the solid brick. It takes longer than a door installation, so we usually suggest the back door first.
