We regularly deal with Victorian terraces, post-war estates, semis and modern detached homes. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

Across County Londonderry, many gardens have shared fences, so we usually suggest a quick chat with neighbours before fitting cat-proof toppers.

With a mix of city terraces, suburban semis and rural properties, homes across County Londonderry range from flats with balconies to large gardens, and each needs a different cat enclosure design.

Questions about cat enclosure installation in Derry

How much should I expect to pay for cat enclosure installation in Derry?

Prices vary with the job. Prices in Derry come down to the size of the job and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

How quickly can you start in Derry?

Most Derry enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within one to two weeks. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.

What do you need from me to quote in Derry?

Just fill in the form on this page with your Derry postcode, a short description of the job and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.

Do you cover Culmore and other parts of Derry?

Yes. We cover the whole of Derry, including Culmore, Pennyburn, Galliagh, Drumahoe, Prehen and Strathfoyle, plus nearby Lisburn, Belfast, Newry and Ayr.

Do I need planning permission for a cat enclosure?

Often not. In England, a freestanding catio in a back garden is usually treated as an outbuilding under permitted development, which allows it without planning permission if it stays behind the front of the house, is no more than 2.5 metres high when within 2 metres of a boundary, and together with other outbuildings covers no more than half the garden. A catio attached to the house may be treated as an extension instead. Flats, listed buildings and some conservation areas have tighter rules, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own, so check with your council if in doubt.

Checklist before booking in Derry

Plan shelter, shade, water and a hiding spot, and remove any toxic plants nearby
Count your cats and note their age, mobility and whether any have escaped before
Measure the space and photograph it from several angles, including nearby walls and fences
Note anything near the boundary that a cat could climb, such as sheds, trees or bins
Decide whether you want a freestanding catio, a house-linked catio, fencing or a window box
