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

28.4%

of homes were built before 1919

England average: 20.3%

More than a quarter of homes were built before 1919, often with solid walls.

21.9%

of households live in flats

England average: 20.6%

More than one in five households lives in a flat, many in converted villas.

Converted villas

Many large villas in the West End are now flats; leases usually need the freeholder's consent and front doors in shared buildings are fire doors.

Clifftop weather

Homes on the Leas and along the seafront face strong Channel winds, so a well-sealed, corrosion-resistant flap is worth choosing.

Questions from homeowners in Folkestone

I own a leasehold flat in a converted villa. Can I have a flap?

Check your lease for the freeholder's consent.

I rent. Can I have a cat flap?

Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
