I once watched a seasoned glass cutter, making a sealed unit for a vent axia fan, on a bench, So the 400 x 500 glass sheet x 2 was cut, then he had to cut two holes, same size, same place ........ 6 sheets of glass later he had ONE sheet with a hole, and a pile of glass., another 4 sheets and he had two holey sheets, butthe holes did not match... I left due to things being thrown around.
For a glazier to do this on site..... Good Luck, and make him guarantee a replacement.:money:

Here by lies the reason for charging 150 GBP for the job. Wen I had my cat flap fitted 8 yrs ago I thought 140 was a lot of money , since then I have canged the cat flap twice but te glass is still fine.

Yes it can be done ,but the complete unit (glazed unit ) will have to be replaced with K glass Toughened . will cost £200 -300 fitted ,
and will have to be measured before hand dont pay no more than £300..

Another glowing recommendation for Jacksons and Julian Walsh! The work I requested was completed on date and I am delighted with the result. Customer service and workmanship was excellent. Julian is knowledgeable, punctual and kept in touch throughout, a real gentleman. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I do know the current cost of the energy surcharge and as long as you have the glass size you can also put a price on the glass I also cut the glass and also the holes in the glass myself and get them sent to be toughened There is always a chance of them breaking. I have been making double glazed units along time now and it is true there aren't many people that do this but I do.

Looking for a supplier in London/Surrey area. I need a replacement panel with hole for cat flap. Happy to fit myself if it can be delivered or fully fitted. Thanks in advance

Any of the people in the know on here have any idea of a price for a cat flap in double glazing for a french door. Its a full size panel so im expecting it will probably be too expensive. May have to look at going through the wall. Its a brand new house and not moved in yet so dont know exact size. Thanks for any info

I would say upto £250 fitted depending on size of glass and if it needs to be k-glass this also would be toughend glass aswell.

Just thought I'd share my personal experience...

I came across this thread in November last year and after getting local quotes for the supply and installation of double glazed pane with a cat flap for my conservatory. I contacted Julian Walsh from Jacksons Joinery in Manchester who quoted me £117 for the 700 x 400 double glazed pane. I supplied the cat flap and they fitted it. The trip from North Wiltshire a week and a half later was well worth it. Nothing but praise for Julian and his Team - prompt service and quality work. :T

You do need to supply them a very exact measurement for the pane though (at least thickness wise). I tried to take a short-cut by measuring the thickness with the pane in place and got it wrong - just as well Julian spotted this out when I placed the order saving me considerable trouble. :eek:

Unfortunately I can't post links or embed a photo I took of the pane in place. If interested you can view it by appending the letter h to the following text block and psting it in your browser address bar:

So, all in all I highly recommend them.
