Hello, I'm sure you will have received the email reply saying we are very busy and unfortunately behind with email replies. Please do call us and I will be happy to check your order. We did state that shipping for your order was 20 working days (on 6th August) and today is 10 working days since the order. However I can see that we have just shipped everything from the 6th August so your order should be on the way to you. I am afraid you have not left your name so I am unable to check your specific order but, as stated on the email reply, if you would like to give us a call I will personally check this for you. I'm not sure that working to 50% of our stated lead times in actually worth a 1 star review but this is your choice and there is nothing I can do about it. We have worked very hard over the last 10 years to earn a 5 star rating on Trustpilot and it is a little upsetting to lose this in this way. However, I would like to at least let you know when your parcel left us so if you wanted to call or email me I will be happy to help, I am afraid I cant do this if I don't know who you are. Best wishes : Dominic.... I think I have found your emails now so will reply to you directly. As you were an existing customer we promised you 10 working days shipping and that is where we currently are. I am sorry this did not meet your expectations. I will email you personally straight away. Best wishes : Dominic

Fantastic screens

Fantastic screens; our extended family uses them after seeing ours and they don't even have cats! Keeps our cats happy and we all feel safe; top notch customer service too. This is the type of business you should be giving your money to! We've bought screens for multiple houses and they fit perfect each time.

So great we have 6!

We bought one of these in a standard size as a test on Amazon. Then proceeded to buy 3 more standard ones as we loved them so much. We've now purchased 2 custom ones. They're amazing. We can now have windows left open in most of our rooms and not worry about escaping cats and bonus is they keep the bugs out too! The cats love sitting by them and getting the breeze and have never shown any interest in even trying to climb them or anything.

I can't recommend Dominic's flatcat screens enough ! They are strong and sturdy and his customer service is impeccable. I stupidly measured my windows wrong (all 8 of them) and I honestly didn't think he would be able to change them because they were custom made and it was my fault but he remade them all for me with the correct measurements and sent them out really quickly. So grateful !

Great product with easy to follow instructions. Very seasonably priced too. It has taken me about 10 minutes to put it up. The measuring guidelines were great and I have received exactly what I needed. The net is much thicker than a regular mosquito net which makes it safe for cats to enjoy the fresh air coming in. My ragdoll cat is very pleased with the purchase too 😺Highly recommend!

Great customer service

Nice product - simple concept but very effective and does the job well. Our cat is safer as a result - she took a look at the screen and sniffed it, realised she can't get out, and has let it be. Great customer service too - Dominic was friendly and accommodating with the custom product we needed and postage was speedy. Thanks!

Brilliant service and an amazing product.

Dominic was so helpful with my order. I made some mistakes with measurements and he contacted me within a few hours of placing my order to check the measurements. They were then sent out and I received them within a few days. You can hardly notice the mesh covering on the windows and they are super safe/secure for my cat. Would definitely recommend.

Very pleased indeed with this product

Very pleased indeed with this product. It came very fast. I had chosen bespoke measurements and they were exactly right.
Most importantly the screens are very strong, definitely kitten proof, but also easy to remove to open or close the window.
Just took a couple of minutes to put each one up. Huge reassurance that we won't either have to swelter with the windows shut or else have an escaping kitten!

Don't hesitate - best service and product ever

I needed a door screen to pass a condition of adopting my cat - spoke to Dominic who really took the time to work out exactly what I needed. Delivered two days later and worked perfectly. The problem was - it wasn't a perfect fit, but it was totally my error because I obviously don't know how to measure! Contacted Dominic again - and without hesitation has replaced it. No additional charge. If all companies had this exceptional customer service as a basic - we wouldn't need Trustpilot! Not to mention the product itself is super high quality and protects my cat from running out. Don't go elsewhere for screens when Flat Cats are purrfectly perfect!

Flat Cats - the real deal.

As a nervous cat owner, I searched for a while before finding Flat Cats. My awning windows are quite old and don't have enough frame at the bottom to accommodate the border of the mesh, so I added a few centimetres to the bottom and fixed it at a right angle. It works perfectly. My cat was used to breaking through mesh in my previous flat, so she assumed she could again and gave it a good try, but it has stuck firm, with quality 3M adhesive. I can already see that it will take some plaster off the wooden window frame when the time comes to remove it, but that's not a fault of the product. I'm happy to recommend Dominic and his Flat Cat product. This is the real deal.

Great service and a great product

Dominic was so helpful in answering all my questions and these are such a great invention. They're well-made, easy to install, blend perfectly with the frames AND they keep the cats from falling from our flat window. Highly recommend.

Delivery was so fast, great customer service

Delivery was so fast! We really needed a product to prevent our house cats from escaping open windows and although we haven’t put them up yet they will definitely do the trick! We had a slight issue with the sizing on one which could have been an input error on my behalf but the owner was super helpful and understanding and sent out a replacement to the correct size with no hesitation! Talk about excellent customer service. Thank you! I am sure we will be ordering more in the future!

Fast delivery

Fast delivery, really good customer service as well. Product itself is spot on, I cannot pick any faults and my active and interested cat hasn’t tried to tamper with them. We chose the white netting as we have white PVC and they blend incredibly well and aren’t an eyesore which was my fear. I heard about this product from my neighbour and I would definitely buy from again and have recommended my dad to use them too.

cats got through immediately. Not durable or usable.

Edit: Dominic has been very helpful, trying to help me figure out a solution and offer a replacement or money back so we can try again. Due to this have changed my rating of this company.

Hi Jini. I am really disappointed to hear that you are unhappy with our product. I can't see from our records that you have raised this concern with us to date by phone or emails and so this review is the first time I have been alerted of this situation. Obviously we would like to resolve this with you as soon as possible so I have have just sent you an email asking for more details and / or a chat so we can get this resolved to your satisfaction. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and wanted to reassure you that our sole aim is for you to be happy which clearly, at the moment, is not the case. Best wishes : Dominic : Flat Cats
