Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Bath
The whole city is a World Heritage Site, with a very large number of listed Georgian buildings in honey-coloured local stone. Many have been converted into flats, and many streets are steep.

What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures are for Bath and North East Somerset Council's area, which includes surrounding towns and villages. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.
29.5%
of homes were built before 1919
England average: 20.3%
Almost three in ten homes in the council area were built before 1919, well above average, most with solid stone walls.
Listed Georgian homes
Many homes here are listed, and their original doors, windows and walls can't be altered without listed building consent. A flap in a modern rear door, or in a garden door of a basement flat, is the most likely option, but check with the council first.
Flats and hillside gardens
Large Georgian houses converted into flats often need the freeholder's consent for alterations. Bath is built on steep hills, so many back gardens are stepped; for a dog flap, consider the drop outside the door.

Questions from homeowners in Bath
Can I fit a cat flap in a listed Georgian townhouse?
Only with listed building consent for altering original features. A modern rear or basement door is the usual option.
Can a flap go through a Bath stone wall?
Technically yes, with an extended tunnel, but in a listed building it would need consent and a door is usually preferable.
Who handles planning?
Bath and North East Somerset Council.
