Free Fulwood Cat Flap Fitting Quotes

The simplest type of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in an exterior door and a bendable material is placed over the gap to give a bit of protection from the weather. Most Fulwood cat owners would doubtless favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home, although this could be okay for a shed door or fence panel.

This standard design can be improved upon with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, however it's still a long way off being perfect since it allows other animals or cats a way to enter your property.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet. This means that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your property. The point that any other moggy in the Fulwood area that has a similar collar will be able to gain access to your house, is the drawback with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap and collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.

The type of cat flap that's capable of identifying your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in Fulwood feline access security. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one pet). Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is close by.

When you're purchasing a cat flap, you must ensure that it's of a type that can be locked into position. Most cat flaps sold currently have a 4-way locking mechanism. This means that the cat flap can enable exit from your house only, enable admission into your premises only, be fully locked, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This gives full control over how your cat flap operates both throughout the day and during the night. The wherewithal to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your pet's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

If you are pretty good at do-it-yourself, installing your own cat flap should not be that difficult, if you've got a timber door on your Fulwood home. However, if it is going to be fitted into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt to tackle it by yourself. This sort of installation calls for the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and talented carpenters who are glad to accept such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN FULWOOD

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing panel, immediately send them packing. New cat flaps can't be fitted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by cutting or drilling into it, and will take away its insulating properties, strength and security. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsound.

A reputable Fulwood cat flap fitter will diligently take the precise measurements of your existing unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. This new glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure where your cat flap will be installed. You might have to wait two weeks or so for this special pane to be made, but if you need a cat flap installed into an existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to do it. After fabrication, the old glass pane will be taken out, and the new adapted one put in. The installing of your cat flap will then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden doors are, as we already stated, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Fulwood. It is generally wise to employ the expert services of an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter, if you're in any way unsure about creating a hole in your front door. A project of this sort will not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your kitty will be climbing through a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most cases. You or your installer will have to determine what the internal construction of you door is, because for added security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. A one-piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to swap the panel for a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to have a hole cut in your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons, you could have a cat flap installed within an exterior wall. This kind of installment is certainly better left to a specialist, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. Most wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your specified wall. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to allow your furry friend to enter and exit as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Fulwood - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current cavity. Your cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without harming the surrounding window, wall or door, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

If the replacement cat flap is going to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must ensure that the glass has been fabricated, cut and installed in the right way. If it's found this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass panel will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
