Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Wiltshire
Wiltshire stretches from Swindon, a railway town with a famous workers' village, to Salisbury and rural villages of brick, flint, stone and thatch. Many homes are newer, but historic properties and World Heritage landscapes bring extra considerations.

What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover Wiltshire Council and Swindon. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.
22.5%
of homes were built since 2000
England average: 17.8%
Almost a quarter of homes have been built since 2000, well above average. Composite doors and cavity walls are common.
Swindon
Around 29% of Swindon's homes are terraced. The Great Western Railway village, built for railway workers, is a conservation area with listed cottages, so altering original doors needs consent. Elsewhere in Swindon, newer estates generally suit a flap in a back door or a cavity wall.
Salisbury and rural Wiltshire
In the Wiltshire Council area, about 35% of homes are detached. Older cottages may be timber-framed or have flint or thatched construction; we won't cut timber frames, and flint walls are slow and risky to cut, so a door or glass installation is preferred. Stonehenge, Avebury and associated sites are a World Heritage Site, and Salisbury's cathedral close has many listed buildings.

Questions from homeowners in Wiltshire
Can I have a cat flap in a Swindon railway cottage?
Many are listed, so you'll need consent before altering original doors or walls. Ask Swindon Borough Council.
Is a flint wall suitable for a flap?
We'd usually avoid it. Cutting flint is slow and can damage the wall face; a door installation is safer.
Who handles planning?
Wiltshire Council or Swindon Borough Council.
