Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site, and much of the city is made up of stone tenements, Georgian terraces and distinctive 'colony' houses, each with different considerations for a pet flap.
Tenements and colonies
Tenement flats open onto a common stair, and the main stair and back-green doors are shared property; altering them needs the other owners' agreement. Colony houses, found in areas such as Stockbridge and Abbeyhill, have upper and lower flats with separate entrances, so the lower flat with garden access is usually the better candidate.
World Heritage Site and listed homes
The Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site, with very large numbers of listed buildings and conservation areas covering much of the city. Original front doors and windows need listed building consent; a modern rear door is the most realistic option.

I live in a New Town flat. Can I have a cat flap?
