Hole in double glazed patio door for cat flap.

Let me make a few things clear.
1. The door will have toughened glass in it (Mandatory). Toughened glass CAN NOT BE CUT IN ANY WAY! Once it is toughened that's it. So you can't just cut a whole in it.

2. The unit will NOT cloud up.

Here's how it's done............

You go to a D-G unit supplier with your Cat flap, and tell him the size and thickness of the panel you want. They will cut the shape of the Cat flap out of 2 BRAND NEW pieces of glass. Then the glass is toughened. Then the unit is assembled in the normal way (Aluminium spacer the way round the inside of the unit), and where the hole for the Cat Flap is, we use a bendy space bar called Super Spacer. We then seal the hole with 2 Part Sealant as opposed to the 1 part sealant all around the edge of the unit. How do I know? Because I make 10 of these EVERY WEEK!

£90 is about right.

Thank you for this! I live in Chepstow. Would love to use your company. Would you recommend someone, please?

We have done these in new installations in all types doors and windows on one job we even formed a ramp up to kitchen window so the ladies little kitty could climb up complete with grip tape like on skateboards .

When I had this done in my last house (on borders of SE London/Kent) I used somebody called The Window Man. If I remember rightly he was based somewhere in Medway, Kent.

I also had him to do a couple of repairs to my double glazing, so found him reliable and responded fast to queries.

Just had Jackson Joinery (jacksonjoinery.co.uk) make me a new toughened dg door unit with a hole for my existing catflap (SureFlap) that I wanted to relocate. I measured the existing unit and told Julian the measurements along with the size and position of the hole and the colour of the spacer. Got a call from Julian a few days later to say that it was ready. A drive across the M62 from Bradford to Salford the next day and Julian personally lifted the new unit into my car! The measurements were absolutely exactly what I had ordered and when I returned home the new unit fitted into the frame perfectly and the hole was exactly the right size and position for the catflap. I could not have asked for more. You can have these guys come to you to measure up and then come again to do the fitting or if you are competent in glass fitting (or know someone who is) they will just make the unit for you as they did for me. Absolutely first class service

Do you want me to post a photocopy of the invoice?
If you are in the West Yorks area you can come and see the unit (and the original) for yourself.
