Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Norfolk

Norfolk is a county of detached homes and villages, with flint-walled cottages, thatched roofs and the Broads. Norwich, by contrast, has many flats and rented homes.

What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover Norwich and the six Norfolk districts. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.

38.7%

of homes are detached houses

England average: 22.9%

Almost four in ten homes are detached, well above average, so a side door or wall is often available.

Flint and thatch

Flint walls are typical of older Norfolk cottages. Cutting through flint is slow and can damage the wall face, so a door or glass installation is usually the better choice. Listed cottages and those in conservation areas need consent before original doors or walls are altered.

Norwich and the Broads

In Norwich, a third of households live in flats and around 30% rent from the council or a housing association, so permission and fire doors are common considerations. The Broads has its own planning authority, the Broads Authority. In South Norfolk and Breckland, around half of homes are detached.

Questions from homeowners in Norfolk

Can you fit a cat flap in a flint cottage?

We'd usually recommend a door or glass installation rather than cutting the flint wall.

Do I need permission in the Broads?

Most rear-door flaps don't, but listed buildings do. The Broads Authority can advise.

Who handles planning in Norfolk?

Norwich City Council, the district councils, or the Broads Authority within the Broads.
