Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Surrey
Surrey has one of the highest shares of detached homes in England, and relatively few older properties. That usually means a good choice of doors and walls, though new-build doors and leasehold flats bring their own checks.
Homes in Surrey at a glance
What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover the eleven Surrey 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.
32.2%
of homes are detached houses
England average: 22.9%
Almost a third of homes are detached, well above average. A side door, utility room or cavity wall is often available as well as the back door.
14.2%
of homes were built before 1919
England average: 20.3%
Fewer pre-1919 homes than average. Most houses have cavity walls, which usually suit a wall-mounted flap.
Detached homes and new-build doors
In Surrey Heath around 44% of homes are detached, and in Waverley and Mole Valley it's around four in ten. Many have composite back doors, which have a solid core and need the right tools and a liner sized to the door. If your door is still under a manufacturer's warranty, check whether cutting it affects that; a wall flap is a good alternative in a cavity-wall home.
Flats near the stations
Woking, Spelthorne and Reigate and Banstead have a higher share of flats, about a quarter of households. In shared blocks, each flat's front door is a fire door and can't take a pet flap. The Surrey Hills is a National Landscape, and many villages are conservation areas.

Questions from homeowners in Surrey
Will a cat flap void my composite door warranty?
It might. Check with the door supplier first. A wall flap or a flap in a glass panel avoids cutting the door.
Is a utility room wall a good place for a flap?
Often, yes. It keeps the main door free and muddy paws out of the kitchen. We'll check for pipes and cables first.
Who handles planning in Surrey?
Your district or borough council. Most pet flaps in modern homes don't need planning permission.
