Darlington cat enclosure installation: common questions

How fast can you get to Darlington?

We aim to reply to Darlington enquiries the same day, and most jobs can be booked in within one to two weeks. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

How do I get a quote in Darlington?

Just fill in the form on this page with your postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.

Can you come out to Haughton-le-Skerne and other parts of Darlington?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of Darlington, including Haughton-le-Skerne, Hurworth, Mowden, Hummersknott, Harrowgate Hill and Faverdale, plus nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Durham and Hartlepool.

What postcodes do you cover in Darlington?

Every postcode in Darlington is covered, including DL1, DL2 and DL3. If you are just outside Darlington, send your postcode anyway and we will check.

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.

What to have ready for your Darlington quote

  • Decide whether you want a freestanding catio, a house-linked catio, fencing or a window box
  • Check permitted development limits, or whether you live in a flat, listed building or conservation area
  • Get written consent from your landlord or freeholder if you rent or are a leaseholder
  • Talk to neighbours before anything is fixed to a shared or neighbouring fence
  • Ask what mesh, timber, roof and fixings will be used, and how the base will be sealed
