Cat Flap Fitter Axbridge Somerset (BS26): Getting a cat flap fitted is one of those little household jobs that makes life alot easier & plenty of homeowners in Axbridge, Somerset end up wondering why they didn't get it sorted out sooner. Cats have their own routines, and they rarely match up with ours, therefore having a proper entry point is a good way to stop the endless door patrols. A decent cat flap installer will know exactly how to fit a flap without making a hash of the door, which of course is half the battle when you want it to look neat & tidy.
Most people start off with the idea that its just a quick cut-out job, tho' once you get into the finer details you will realise that there is a bit more to it than that. Doors come in all sorts of materials, and cleanly cutting through uPVC or composite sections needs the right kit & an extremely steady hand. A good Axbridge installer will usually survey the door first and check for any hidden reinforcements that might get in the way of the installation. This saves plenty of faffing about down the track.
Some homeowners in Axbridge get a bit nervous about cutting into a perfectly good door, which is understandable when a small fortune has been spent on it. The upside is that a good installer has done this sort of thing countless times before and will know how to keep the risk factor as low as possible. They will usually talk you through the best height for your cat, making sure that the flap is neither too high or too low, so that it feels natural for them to use from day one.
Fitting a cat flap into glass is a whole different kettle of fish. You cannot just drill into a double-glazed panel and hope that it will be okay. What is actually needed is a new pane of glass made with a pre-cut hole, otherwise you will end up ruining the insulation & risking the chance of cracks. A lot of cat flaps in the Axbridge area are fitted in patio doors or conservatory units, so the job often includes the ordering of a replacement unit and coming back for the installation when its ready.
Wall installations are a popular shout, especially when the ideal exit is not close to a door. This process calls for a bit more graft & a lot more dust, but it gives you the freedom to pick the exact spot that suits the precise layout of your home in Axbridge. A job like this typically involves installing a lined tunnel, some neat finishing around the edges, and making sure that there isn't any draught sneaking through.
Then theres the techy side of things. Microchip cat flaps are pretty much the norm these days, keeping out the neighbourhood bandits who like to help themselves to any food that is going spare. Installers in the Axbridge area are called-on to deal with these all of the time, setting up the reader & testing it with your cat so that you're not left guessing and hoping.
Plenty of older properties still have their original wooden doors, and they often need a bit of reinforcing before a flap can safely go in. Timber can split or warp if it isn't handled correctly. A fitter who is local to the Axbridge area will usually know the quirks of older joinery & know exactly how to get a solid fit that won't wobble or come loose.
Once everything has been fitted its just a matter of checking the swing, sealing any gaps, and making sure that the flap sits nice & flush. A tidy finish speaks volumes, especially when you have gone to the trouble of hiring a proper cat flap installer in Axbridge. It's the sort of little home upgrade that quietly improves everyday life without the need to make a song & dance about it.
Removing and Blanking-Off Unwanted Cat Flaps
Taking off an old cat flap can feel like unpicking someone else's rushed DIY, especially when the cut-out is uneven or the frame's been painted over. Getting it loose without damaging the door takes a bit of patience. The next step is making the hole look decent again so you can fit a blanking panel that sits properly. Filling small dips, sanding the surface and matching the colour all help the repair blend in. A neat finish keeps the whole door looking clean instead of patchy, which is usually what people are after when they want the flap gone.
