Cat enclosures in Durham
Durham is a small historic cathedral city on a loop of the River Wear, dominated by its World Heritage cathedral and castle and by a large collegiate university and student population. We provide cat enclosure installation right across Durham, including Brandon and Bowburn through to Crossgate Moor.
From first enquiry to finished job, we keep cat enclosure installation in Durham straightforward: one point of contact, one fixed price and a team that turns up when agreed.
Typical properties here include Georgian and Victorian terraces, former colliery cottages, semis and student lets, so we price every job around the building, parking and access and timing.
Urban foxes are common around Durham, so we use strong welded mesh and seal the base of every enclosure.
Across County Durham, many gardens have shared fences, so we usually suggest a quick chat with neighbours before fitting cat-proof toppers.

Do cat-proof fence toppers need planning permission?
Fences, walls and gates are normally allowed up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles, without planning permission. If a topper takes the total height above that, permission may technically be needed, although angled mesh toppers rarely cause problems in practice. It is worth talking to neighbours first, especially if the fence is shared.
