What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees. Tees Valley is a combined authority area rather than a traditional county. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.

England average: 23%

19.2%
of households rent from a council or housing association
England average: 17.1%
Almost one in five households rents from the council or a housing association. Tenants need their landlord's permission.
Terraces either side of the Tees
Around a third of homes in Hartlepool and over a quarter in Middlesbrough and Darlington are terraced. Most have a back yard, so a cat flap in the back door is usually straightforward. Stockton-on-Tees has more modern and detached homes, about 27% detached, where a cavity wall flap is often an option.
Coastal homes
Homes in Redcar, Saltburn and Hartlepool face cold winds off the North Sea. A flap with strong magnetic closures and good seals, in a sheltered door, makes a real difference.
