Cat flap installation in Margate: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You’re free to decide where to put your cat flap, but it’s worth discussing options with your fitter to balance convenience with security. If you’re replacing glass, you’ll likely need a new pane made to measure. Keep paperwork and warranties for your records.

Renters

Always check with your landlord before going ahead. You’ll usually need written permission, especially for glass or uPVC doors. In some cases, your landlord may prefer you to fit a temporary panel that can be swapped back when you move out.
