Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Wolverhampton
Most of Wolverhampton's homes were built in the 20th century, with relatively few Victorian houses compared with many cities. That generally makes installation more straightforward, but a high share of rented homes means permission is often needed first.

25.2%
of households rent from a council or housing association
England average: 17.1%
About a quarter of households rent from the council or a housing association, well above the English average. Tenants should ask their landlord before booking.
11.3%
of homes were built before 1919
England average: 20.3%
Only around one in ten homes was built before 1919, well below average. Most have cavity walls, which usually suit a wall-mounted flap.
20th-century houses
Semi-detached and terraced houses from the interwar and post-war years make up much of the city. Their cavity walls usually take a wall flap well, and replacement uPVC back doors are easy to fit with the right liner. A wall flap into a kitchen or utility room keeps the door free and is often a tidy solution.
Rented homes
With around a quarter of households in social housing, and more renting privately, many customers need their landlord's agreement first. It helps to tell your landlord exactly where you'd like the flap and what type of door or wall it's going into.

Questions from homeowners in Wolverhampton
Can a cat flap go through the wall of a post-war semi?
Usually, yes. Cavity walls suit a flap with a sealed tunnel. We'll check for pipes, cables and wall ties first.
Do I need permission as a council tenant?
Yes, from your landlord. Most have a process for tenant alterations, and a flap in a back door is a common request.
Who handles planning in Wolverhampton?
City of Wolverhampton Council. Most pet flaps don't need planning permission unless the home is listed.
