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

of homes were built before 1919
England average: 20.3%
Over a quarter of homes were built before 1919, above average. Many are stone with thick solid walls.
Stone terraces
Sandstone terraces near the centre usually have back yards that suit a cat flap in the back door. A wall flap through solid stone needs an extended tunnel and takes longer.
Students and Morecambe Bay
Many homes near the city centre are let to students at Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria. Homes in Morecambe face strong winds off the bay, so a well-sealed flap is worth choosing.
