Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in West Midlands

We offer cat flap, dog flap and pet door installation across the West Midlands, including Birmingham, the Black Country, Coventry and the surrounding shire counties.

Homes and doors in the West Midlands

Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country have large numbers of Victorian terraces and interwar semi-detached houses, where a back or kitchen door is typically the most practical place for a flap.

Herefordshire and Shropshire are known for black-and-white timber-framed buildings. These are often listed, and their timber frames shouldn't be cut. A replacement glass unit or a new door is usually the right approach.

Permissions to check before installation

Timber-framed and other listed homes need listed building consent for alterations that affect their character. The Shropshire Hills and Malvern Hills are National Landscapes, and many historic town centres, including Stratford-upon-Avon and Ludlow, are conservation areas.

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.

Older doors

Many older homes still have original timber doors. A timber door can usually take a flap well, but very thin panels may need reinforcing. We'll check this when we assess the job.
