Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Canterbury
Canterbury combines a World Heritage cathedral city, two universities and the seaside towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay. Listed buildings, rented homes and coastal weather are the main considerations.

What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures are for Canterbury City Council's area, which also includes Whitstable and Herne Bay. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.
22%
of households rent privately
England average: 20.5%
Private renting is above average, largely because of student housing. Tenants need their landlord's written permission.
The historic city
Canterbury's centre, within and around the city walls, is a conservation area with many listed buildings, and the cathedral is a World Heritage Site. Original doors and walls of listed homes need consent before a flap is fitted; modern rear doors are usually the practical choice.
Student lets and the coast
Areas near the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University have many shared houses. In Whitstable and Herne Bay, seafront homes face salty winds, so a well-sealed flap with corrosion-resistant fittings is worth choosing.
