Cat enclosures in Hitchin

Hitchin is a historic north Hertfordshire market town with a well-preserved medieval centre, a twice-weekly market and fast rail links to London and Cambridge. We carry out cat enclosure installation right across Hitchin, from Oughtonhead and Westmill out to Gosmore.

If you are looking for cat enclosure installation in Hitchin, we can help. Our customers include cat owners, households in busy areas, flat owners with outside space and rescue and boarding catteries across Hertfordshire, and every job is priced up front so there are no surprises.

Local buildings are largely Victorian terraces, period cottages and inter-war semis, so each quote takes into account the property, parking and access and timing.

Plenty of Hitchin homes have narrow side returns or small courtyards, which are ideal spots for a made-to-measure catio that would not fit as a standard kit.

Owners in Hitchin often want a catio linked to the house by a cat flap, so their cats can choose when to head outside.

Hitchin cat enclosure installation: common questions

What do you need from me to quote in Hitchin?

Just fill in the form on this page with your postcode, a short description of the job and when you need it. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

Do you cover Oughtonhead and other parts of Hitchin?

Yes. We cover the whole of Hitchin, including Oughtonhead, Westmill, Gosmore, St Ippolyts, Charlton and Ickleford, plus nearby Stevenage, Luton, Welwyn Garden City and Hertford.

Which Hitchin postcodes do you cover?

We cover all Hitchin postcodes, including SG4 and SG5. If you are on the edge of Hitchin, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.

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

Prices vary with the job. Prices in Hitchin depend on the size of the job and access, so send your details for an exact fixed price. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

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.
