Cat Flap Fitter Cricklade Wiltshire (SN6): Getting a cat flap installed is one of those little property upgrades that can make your day-to-day life a little bit easier. Cats love to come & go on their own terms, and having a flap fitted means that you're not constantly standing by the back door playing doorman all day. Most people in Cricklade, Wiltshire are just looking for something that is neat, secure and fitted without any fuss, which is where specialist cat flap installers come into play. They will generally have seen every type of door that you can imagine, so you won't be left guessing what will or will not work.
A lot of homes in & around Cricklade have UPVC back doors and these are pretty straightforward for installers who know what they're doing. The panel can be cut cleanly & the flap positioned at a height that your cat won't trip over. It all looks fairly simple from the outside, but getting the cut just right is what stops the whole door rattling like mad on those windy winter nights. You will also get a much better finish when you have a tradesperson who is using the right gear instead of you using a blunt jigsaw from your garden shed.
Plenty of older Cricklade houses still have timber doors, and they can be alot more forgiving when it comes to fitting a cat flap. Installers often double-check the thickness, the rail positions & any old repairs that are hidden under paint. Wood tends to swell and shrink slightly through the seasons, therefore getting the cat flap screwed down evenly really helps. Its the sort of job where a keen DIYer might have a bash, but a pro usually gets the neater finish, with fewer draughts sneaking through.
Some homes in the Cricklade area are fitted with composite doors, and these are a bit trickier because you don't want to damage the internal layers. Composite panels are great for insulation, so decent installers tend to measure twice & then again just to be on the safe side. Once the opening has been done, the flap sits snug and still feels secure even when the wind is battering it. It will usually be a cleaner job when its done by someone who is familiar with the material.
Glass is a whole different ball game, especially in the case of patio sliders & full-glazed back doors. You cannot just cut your way through a sheet of toughened glass, so most Cricklade installers will get a new pane made-up with the circular hole pre-cut. It involves a bit more effort but the results are good, and you will not end up with hairline cracks creeping across on a cold winter's morning.
Rental places around Cricklade often need a temporary or removable cat flap solution, and there are more options for this than most people think. You can get panel inserts for sliding doors, adjustable units that clamp into the frame, or even removable boards that will slot into the doorway without the need to drill a single hole. They aren't as pretty as a permanent setup but they keep the landlord happy and the cat even happier still.
Once the flap has been successfully installed, a lot of Cricklade homeowners will forget that there's a bit of light upkeep involved. The hinges can become stiff, the brush seal might pick up some fluff, and the locking dial will sometimes collect a bit of grit on windy days. We are not talking about anything major here, just the sort of minor jobs that help to keep everything running smoothly. A quick wipe every now & then will stop draughts creeping in or the flap sticking half-open during a cold snap. Cats definately don't make it easy, but at least the flap doesn't ask for alot.
By the time the new cat flap is in place, most Cricklade homeowners will wonder why they didn't sort this out sooner. The cat can wander in and out like it owns the place, the door stays firmly shut, and everybody gets a bit more peace. A tidy installation also adds to the look of the property rather than sticking out like a sore thumb, which of course is what you want when you are trying to keep stuff simple & stress-free.
