INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN HOLBEACH

Once you have acquired your new pane of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new panel installed. Your cat flap can then be put in.

A cat flap that is well-weatherproofed prevents wind, rain and draughts from seeping into the house, ensuring a dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants.
