When it comes to you having a cat / dog flap fitted into your window or door we can give you the advice that  you are looking for.

We offer a glazing service fitting cat and dog flaps into double glazing (DG Units) And UPVC Panels,

 

For you to be able to have a pet door (i.e.... cat / dog flap) installed into your double-glazed doors or windows,

it is necessary to order a new doubled glazed unit (DG Unit) which is made-to-measure for your window / door requirements, with all holes pre-cut prior to having it installed.

Your existing double glazing cannot be cut into, 

(please see our Safety Regulations page).

​

and especially if the unit is already toughened glass.

 

Laminated safety glass is unsuitable for any cat and dog flap installation.

 

We leave your existing dg unit with you should you require it to be replaced in the future,

which means you only need to pay for fitting and not a whole new dg unit.

 

Our processor cut the holes before toughening and sealing the dg units. If your dg units have decorative lead designs and

Georgian bars, it will follow the same process. In this case, there will be a hole at the bottom of the unit where your

cat / dog flap will fit into. The typical time at the processor is 7-10 working days

(not including weekends nor bank holidays).

 

With regards to UPVC panels most other companies won’t cut into your existing doors if it has ridges, fancy designs or  

reinforced with steel. But we can offer this service and cut a hole directly into your door whether it is a flat panel, has ridges, a fancy design or reinforced with steel.

(we can offer you the best advice with regards to any questions you may have).

 

We can also provide you with a new UPVC panel (depending on your type of door) with a hole cut into it.

                   This works well if you are in private or student accommodation.

 

We can also cut into wooden doors. When cutting into your existing door (whether it is wood, upvc or metal skinned) we can do this in one visit and normally take about 30 mins.

We Do Not and Will Not cut into Communal Doors as these are usually Fire Safety Doors.

(again please send photo to verify via our contact form).

 

For all single glazed windows and doors, we recommend that you install a new pane

of toughened glass with a hole pre-cut out   instead.

Has you are having a hole cut into the glass and your pet will be moving though it often,

it will be best to have the safety glass installed.

All single glazed doors must be made from safety glass, so a new pre-toughened panel with the hole

already included.

The typical work time at the processor is 2 weeks

(not including weekends nor bank holidays).

 

ARE YOU GOING AWAY ON HOLIDAY?

 

If you are planning to go away, and you would like a pet door fitted,

Please Allow at Least 3-4 weeks before you are due to take your break, this is to stop any disappointment if your glass is delayed at the processor’s or unforeseen reasons that may occur.

This also applies to Christmas and New Year Holidays due to the processor’s being closed over the

Christmas and New Year.

It will normally take approximately 2 weeks to be processed at the manufactures.

(This Does NOT INCLUDE WEEKEND’S, BANK HOLIDAY’S CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR) .
