Professional cat flap installation through external walls - proper tunnel installation through full wall thickness, weatherproofed and sealed. For when door installation isn't suitable or you want the flap somewhere specific.
### When Doors Don't Work
Sometimes a door just isn't the right place for a cat flap - **maybe it's glass, maybe it's an expensive security door, maybe there's no door where your cat needs to exit**. Wall installation solves all these problems.
> 🧱 **More involved but more flexible.** Put the flap exactly where it works best, not where doors happen to be.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cat flap installation (wall) in Sidmouth
Why install through a wall instead of a door?
Your door might be glass, uPVC that can't be cut, or a security door. You might not want a hole in an expensive door. Or the best exit point isn't near a door. Wall installation gives more flexibility.
What does wall installation involve?
Walls are thicker than doors, so you need a tunnel between the two flap faces. The hole is bigger and through masonry. More sealing needed. It's more involved than door fitting - typically 2-3 hours.
What wall types work?
Solid brick and block are most straightforward. Cavity walls need careful work to span both leaves. Stone walls are possible but take longer. I'll assess your wall before confirming.
Will it cause damp problems?
Not if fitted properly. The tunnel liner creates a sealed passage. Exterior sealing prevents water entry. Slight outward slope ensures drainage.
