Need Cat Flap advice

I need to get a cat flap put into my kitchen door, we have double glazing windows and doors, i dont know who to contact to get it fitted, im not sure if a general handyman is ok?? or does it need to be a carpenter or windows and doors company?? i dont want the door ruined as im with a housing association and sure the door is very expensive to replace..
Thanks for your help in advance :)

    Please describe the door. Does it have two panels. Are they both glass. Is the bottom panel solid. Once we know these things it will be easier to make a useful suggestion.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Yeah sorry its glass at the top and white panel block at the bottom with black trim, the glass has a silver strip inbetween the panes of glass, not sure whats in between the door at the bottom.

    If it is a solid panel at the bottom then it can easily be replaced by a purpose made panel of wood or,indeed the same material as at present. A cat flap can easily be cut into a new panel by a local handyman and the original panel replaced when you leave the property. Shouldn't cost a lot I would think. Presumably you will need permission from the HA.
