Homes in Kent at a glance

What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover Medway and the twelve Kent districts. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.

21.9%

of homes were built before 1919

England average: 20.3%

Slightly more pre-1919 homes than average, concentrated in coastal towns and historic centres, where solid walls and original doors are common.

Coast, towns and countryside

About 38% of homes in Medway are terraced, so a back door onto the yard or garden is usually the obvious spot. In Thanet, about a third of homes were built before 1919 and around a quarter of households live in flats, many in converted seaside houses where leases often need the freeholder's consent. In Sevenoaks and Ashford, a third of homes are detached, giving more choice of door or wall.

Weatherboarding, oasts and listed homes

Timber-clad (weatherboarded) walls and converted oast houses are typical of rural Kent. We won't cut through a timber frame; a door or glass installation is the usual approach. Canterbury Cathedral is a World Heritage Site, and many town centres and villages are conservation areas, so check with your council if your home is listed.

Questions from homeowners in Kent

Can a cat flap go in a weatherboarded wall?

We'd avoid cutting a timber-framed or weatherboarded wall. A flap in a door, or a replacement glass unit, is the safer option.

I have a leasehold seaside flat in Margate. What should I check?

Your lease, which may require the freeholder's written consent. A flat's front door in a shared building is a fire door and can't take a flap.

Who handles planning in Kent?

Medway Council or your district council. Use the GOV.UK finder if you're not sure which covers your postcode.
