Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in South West England

From city terraces in Bristol to stone cottages in the Cotswolds and coastal homes in Devon and Cornwall, we offer cat flap, dog flap and pet door installation across the South West.

Homes and doors in the South West

Traditional building materials vary a lot across the region: Bath stone, Cotswold limestone, Cornish granite and Devon cob. Solid stone and cob walls are thick and sometimes uneven, so cutting through them isn't always the best choice. A door or glass installation is often simpler and less disruptive.

Where a wall installation does make sense, the flap needs a tunnel liner long enough for the wall's full depth, sealed to keep water out.

Permissions to check before installation

The whole city of Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a high concentration of listed buildings. Dartmoor and Exmoor are national parks with their own planning authorities, and the Cotswolds is a National Landscape. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with the local council before altering external doors or walls.

If you rent your home, get your landlord's written permission first. We can't give planning advice for a specific property, but we're happy to explain the options so you can ask the right questions.

Weather exposure

Coastal and moorland homes in Devon and Cornwall take the full force of Atlantic weather. Flaps with strong magnetic closures and brush seals help keep wind-driven rain and draughts out.
