What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures are for the former Carlisle district (now part of Cumberland Council). These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.
26.9%
of homes are terraced houses
England average: 23%
Over a quarter of homes are terraced, above average, so a back door is often the natural place for a flap.
Sandstone terraces
Victorian terraces in areas such as Denton Holme and Stanwix are often sandstone or brick with solid walls. A back door installation is usually quicker than a wall flap.
Historic centre and Hadrian's Wall
The cathedral and castle area has listed buildings in conservation areas. Hadrian's Wall, part of a World Heritage Site, runs through the district, and rural homes near it may be listed. Check with Cumberland Council if unsure.

Questions from homeowners in Carlisle
Can a cat flap go through a sandstone wall?
Yes, with an extended tunnel, but a door installation is usually better.
Is a sheltered door better in winter?
Yes. A door away from the prevailing wind, with a well-sealed flap, keeps the house warmer.
Who handles planning?
Cumberland Council.
