What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures are for the City of Lincoln Council's area. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.

29.6%

of homes are terraced houses

England average: 23%

About three in ten homes are terraced, above average, so a back door is usually the best place for a flap.

27.2%

of households rent privately

England average: 20.5%

About 27% of households rent privately, well above average. Tenants need their landlord's permission.

Uphill and downhill

The hilltop area around the cathedral and castle is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Streets such as Steep Hill are very steep, so for a dog flap, consider the step outside the door.

Terraces and student lets

Terraces in areas such as the West End and Monks Road have back yards that suit a cat flap. Many are let to students at the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste University, so permission comes first.

How quotes work

  1. Tell us where you'd like the flap and what type of door, glass or wall it is. Photos help.
  2. We confirm availability for your postcode and send a no-obligation quote.
  3. If you go ahead, we agree a date. Glass installations need a replacement unit to be made first.
  4. We don't hand jobs to subcontractors: our own engineers do the fitting.
