  • I’d like to remove/cover up this cat flap in a pvc door which came with the house as it leaks a lot of heat. What the best way to approach this?

    You will need to find the thickness of the panel to get the correct one. It's probably 20mm, 24mm or 28mm.
    Being as it's going anyway, unscrew the catflap and get access to an edge to measure.

    Use a stiff sharp scraper to remove the beads from the frame.

    Cheers for the advice. I tried last night with a painters tool but got nowhere - The tool was too thick and that beading was on tight!
