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.

  4. We don't hand jobs to subcontractors: our own engineers do the fitting.

Questions from homeowners in Watford

Can a flap go in a flat's front door?

No. It's a fire door in a shared building.

I rent. Can I have a cat flap?

Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.

Who handles planning?

Watford Borough Council.
