Wooden Door Cat Flap Fitting
Cat flap and pet door installation in solid timber, engineered and traditional panelled wooden doors — cut clean, sealed properly and finished neatly on both faces.
Timber Doors Done Properly
Wood is forgiving to cut and unforgiving if it's left unsealed. We position the aperture away from the door's structural stiles and hinge side, cut with a clean-entry blade so there's no splintering on either face, then seal every exposed edge before the flap frame goes in. The result looks like it was always meant to be there.

Cat Flaps for Elderly Cats: Choosing the Right Flap for Senior Cats
Older cats have different needs. Here's how to choose the right cat flap for a senior cat — including size, height, ease of use and the best models.
Can You Put a Cat Flap in a Sash Window? What's Possible and What Isn't
Yes, but rarely in the moving sash itself. The practical routes are a cat flap in a fixed lower pane where the glazing can be replaced, a purpose-made panel that fills the opening of a raised sash, or — far more commonly — a flap in a nearby door or side panel. Original single-glazed timber sashes can sometimes be reglazed with a pre-cut pane; modern toughened double-glazed sashes need a whole new unit.
How to Draught-Proof a Cat Flap: Stop Cold Air Coming In
Find where the air enters before buying a new flap: through the moving panel, around its weather seal, or around the fixed frame. Clean first, check compatible spares and avoid adding anything that stops the flap closing or blocks your cat’s route.
