Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Glasgow
Glasgow is a city of sandstone tenements, from the West End to Dennistoun and the Southside, alongside Victorian terraces, villas and modern flats. Shared closes and back courts shape where a pet flap can go.
Tenements and closes
Most tenement flats open onto a shared close, and the main close and back-court doors belong to all the owners. Altering them needs the owners' agreement under the title deeds or the Tenement Management Scheme. A flat's own entrance door onto the close normally has to resist the spread of fire, so it isn't a suitable place for a flap.
Ground-floor and main-door flats
Ground-floor and main-door flats with their own back door onto the back court are often the best candidates for a cat flap. Window installations are another option for some ground-floor flats.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Large parts of the West End, Merchant City and Pollokshields are conservation areas, and many tenements and villas are listed. Altering original doors or windows of a listed building needs listed building consent from the council.

Questions from homeowners in Glasgow
Can a cat flap go in my tenement close door?
Not without the agreement of the other owners, as the close door is shared property. Your own flat door onto the close isn't suitable either.
I have a main-door flat with a back door. Is a flap possible?
Usually, yes. A back door onto the back court is often ideal.
Who handles planning?
