Catteries & Cat Enclosures Built in East London
Secure, ventilated outdoor catteries and aviary-style enclosures.
- Free site visit
- Fixed, itemised price
- 7+ years on the tools
- Warranty-backed work
We build custom catteries — secure mesh-enclosed outdoor runs and shelters that let cats enjoy fresh air safely. Frames are timber or steel, with weatherproof roofing and predator-proof mesh.
An installation service, not a shop. We supply the materials as part of a job we do for you — we don’t sell catteries or materials over the counter.
Layouts can include climbing platforms, shaded shelter areas and walk-through access from the house, sized to fit side yards, courtyards or larger garden runs.

Our Approach
Why Homeowners Choose Elite Home Finishes
- 01
Enclosures are sized and laid out to fit the actual space you have — including awkward side yards — rather than a fixed kit size.
- 02
Mesh, framing and roofing are chosen for security and weatherproofing, not just appearance.
- 03
We're a general home-finishing team, so a cattery can be planned alongside other garden or structural work in the same visit.
Your Options
Options & Finishes to Choose From
- 01Timber-framed enclosure
- A natural-look frame that blends into a garden setting, finished and treated for the coastal climate.
- 02Steel-framed enclosure
- A more durable, lower-maintenance frame option, well suited to larger or more exposed runs.
- 03Climbing platforms & shelving
- Vertical space used for platforms and shelving, useful where floor area is limited.
- 04Walk-through house access
- Direct access from the house into the enclosure, planned in from the design stage.

Planning Your Project
What Affects Cost & Timeline
We go through each of these at the free site visit, so the quote reflects your actual job.
- Available space — side yards, courtyards and larger garden areas all suit different enclosure layouts.
- Frame material — timber blends into a garden setting; steel suits larger or more exposed enclosures with less upkeep.
- House access — a walk-through connection is easiest to plan in from the start rather than added later.
