Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire combines Oxford's terraces and student lets with Cotswold stone villages in the west and fast-growing towns such as Bicester and Didcot. Almost a quarter of homes have been built since 2000.

23.4%
of homes were built since 2000
England average: 17.8%
About 23% of homes have been built since 2000, above average. Newer homes usually have composite doors and cavity walls, which suit a flap well.
Cotswold stone villages
West Oxfordshire includes part of the Cotswolds National Landscape, where older cottages are built from thick limestone. A wall flap there needs an extended tunnel, so a door installation is often simpler. Many villages are conservation areas with listed cottages, which need consent before original doors or walls are altered.
Oxford and the growing towns
In Oxford, about a third of households rent privately and fewer than one in ten homes is detached, so permission and fire doors in flats are common issues. In the districts, a third or more of homes are detached and new estates are common, giving more choice of door or wall. The Chilterns National Landscape covers the south-east of the county.

Questions from homeowners in Oxfordshire
Can a cat flap go through a Cotswold stone wall?
Yes, with an extended tunnel, but a door installation is usually quicker and neater. Listed cottages need consent first.
Is a flap in a new-build door a problem?
Not usually, but check your door's warranty. A wall flap is a good alternative.
