Cat Flap Fitter Patchway

Cat Flap Fitter Patchway Gloucestershire (BS34): A simple way to improve your cat's independence and boost it's overally quality of life is to fit a cat flap on an exterior door or wall of your property in Patchway. Exactly like humans, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will sometimes start to show signs of frustration and unease. When granted quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a far better chance of staying healthy and strong. Obviously, that's not the whole story, because there are numerous kinds of cat flap, and determining which one is best for your cat isn't always easy.

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is fixed over it to give protection from the weather. The vast majority of Patchway cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although this might be suitable for a shed door or fence panel.

As this solution will allow other cats or animals to enter your house, it's not at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by keeping the flap in position by adding a magnetic strip.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased in it. Subsequently, any animal that does not have a special collar can't leave or access your house. The reality that any other cat in the area who's got a similar style of collar could possible get into your home, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the pet's owner.

Choosing a cat flap that can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in access devices for felines in Patchway. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

Being able to lock it in position is important regardless of what cat flap you are buying. Most cat flaps sold these days feature a four way locking system. Which means that it's got the capability to permit admittance into your house only, be fully locked, enable exit only, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This offers complete control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. Based on yours and your cat's needs, there's even the possibility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the higher end devices.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be really easy if you have a solid wood door on your Patchway property, and respectable do-it-yourself capabilities. But, if you are intending to fit it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you should seek outside assistance. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, who'll have all the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PATCHWAY

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazing window or door panel, and your appointed "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and give them the boot. A new cat flap cannot be installed into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not only the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulation attributes too. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted under any circumstances.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazed pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Patchway cat flap fitter will measure your current unit and order the new one. As part of its construction this new double glazed unit will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be installed snugly into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take a week or so to produce. When your new glass pane is delivered, the fitter will remove the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The cat flap can then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest option for new cat flap installations in Patchway, as was mentioned previously, are timber door panels. If you're nervous about creating a hole in your back or front door, it's a good move to bring in a specialist to do the job for you. This kind of project will not be too expensive and is well worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed gives you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. You or your fitter will need to establish what the internal structure of you door actually is, since for additional security some uPVC doors are made with a reinforced steel lining. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always choose to install your cat flap on an outside wall of your home in Patchway. This type of installment is definitely better left to an expert, because it requires considerably more equipment and skill to execute. You will find there are a couple of options for this installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angle (through pillar) adaption. A square shaped hole will be made through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. An appropriate cat flap is then mounted on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Patchway - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either broken or not functioning correctly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can still be used providing the new flap is of a similar size. A reliable cat flap fitter in Patchway will be capable of removing your old cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding window, door or wall.

If the substitute cat flap is being installed in a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must make sure that the existing glass has been made, cut and installed accurately. The glass pane must be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the previous installation.

FINDING A CAT FLAP INSTALLER IN PATCHWAY

There is no better strategy for tracking down a reliable cat flap installer than asking relatives and friends for referrals. If they're happy to recommend a tradesman who they've used themselves, you can be sure that you will be happy also.

Study these price quotes closely and don't automatically choose the cheapest offer, because this will not necessarily be the best.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Patchway

Essential for the safety and comfort of indoor and outdoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing should not be overlooked. A well-weatherproofed cat flap prevents cold draughts, rain and wind from seeping into the house, ensuring a dry and warm environment for the feline. Seeking cat flaps with superior quality seals and insulating materials guarantees a tight barrier against the weather. Additionally, the entrance can be shielded from harsh climatic conditions by installing a weatherproof tunnel extension.
