Black-and-white villages
Timber-framed homes in villages such as Weobley, Pembridge and Eardisland are often listed. We won't cut timber frames for a pet flap; a door or a replacement glass unit is the usual approach, and listed building consent may be needed.
Hereford and rural homes
In Hereford, the historic centre around the cathedral is a conservation area. In the countryside, stone farmhouses and cottages have thick walls, so a door installation is usually simpler than a wall flap. The Wye Valley is a National Landscape.
