Has anyone had this done?
Business firm we are interested in ownership assuming we sell has a patio door to the back followed by a door to the kitchen which has drinking glass panels , the only choice if i got the house i call up would exist to put the true cat flap through an external wall or there is a secure store with a wooden door i can easily true cat flap into but would demand a tunnel into the house .

Easy to do just utilise a slice of UG drain to link the 2 doors, not ideal for a big true cat though

Are you sure it's a good thought? Around here cat flaps are known as 'rat flaps'.

You lot demand to buy a cat

Easy to put a cat flap in a drinking glass console. Would need to supplant the existing panel(due south) with new ones though.

If it'south a cavity wall, y'all need to be conscientious to foreclose damp bridging the cavity.

The hard part is cutting out the hole in the brick, you'd need a hefty SDS drill. After that, getting it perfectly square is fourth dimension consuming just simple enough. We used to take a micro-chip catflap (can't retrieve the brand now but it looks identical to @Profpointy 's). They lasted several years and worked a care for.

Just brand certain it is sealed properly effectually otherwise you'll get a draft!

It should be two or 3 hours work for a decent handy man

Simple straightforward task.

You can employ a normal hammer drill and just drill holes through the outer brick. Pigsty every 25mm and in each corner.
So you can then tap out the brick with a chisel, and then using a long drill fleck you drill a centre hole through the cutout and so you can do the inside. Bold its a double skin wall.
If its modern plasterboard even easier.

Aforementioned again on the within and and then fit your cat flap.
Seal the outer as normal with mastic ect.

No need to worry about bridging clammy as its plastic.

Is it has a plastic top, water comes downward the within surface of the outer leaf of brickwork and pools on the summit casing of the catflap housing. It then tracks onto the inner leaf.

Cavity wall ties are not large pieces of horizontal plastic.
