Repairs & Maintenance

Fly mesh replacement

Torn or worn fly mesh is usually replaced rather than patched, either fresh mesh fitted into a sound frame, or a complete made-to-measure screen where the frame or mechanism has had its day. Share a photo and the approximate opening size and we will assess the replacement required.

Sound familiar?

  • Torn, holed or sagging insect mesh
  • Mesh pushed out, frayed at the edges or gone brittle in the sun
  • An old screen that no longer keeps insects out
  • A screen beyond a simple patch that you want replaced

Re-mesh or a complete new screen

Where the frame and mechanism are sound, we fit fresh insect mesh into the existing frame. Where the frame, roller or track is too worn, we measure and supply a complete made-to-measure replacement screen instead. We confirm which applies after seeing a photo and the opening, we do not claim a particular outcome before assessing it.

Choosing the right mesh

Replacement mesh is chosen to suit the opening and how it is used: standard insect mesh, a finer mesh for smaller insects, or a tougher pet-resistant mesh. We match the mesh to the opening rather than fitting one type to everything.

Safety: Low-risk. If a screen has fallen or a frame corner is sharp, keep children clear until the replacement is fitted.

What a photo tells us

Send a clear photo and we can usually gauge:

  • The screen type and size, and the opening it fits
  • Whether the frame and mechanism are sound enough to re-mesh
  • The mesh type that suits the opening and use

Frequently asked questions

Often yes. Where the frame and mechanism are sound, fitting fresh mesh into the existing frame is the simplest replacement. If the frame, roller or track is too worn, we supply a complete made-to-measure screen instead.

A clear photo and the approximate opening size. That tells us the screen type and whether we re-mesh the frame or make a new screen.
