Flyscreen repairs in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs
Torn or pet-damaged mesh, bent frames, missing clips and sliding screen doors that jam are usually repairable. Where a frame is beyond repair we say so and quote a replacement instead of charging for a repair that will not last.

- Removal and refitting access, especially on upper floors
- Whether work is done on site or the frame must be taken away
Photos help. Helpful photos: the full screen in place and a close photo of the damaged corner or roller. A tape measure in the photo helps with sizing.
When more information is needed. Most screens can be quoted from photos and a rough size. Measurements are only taken on site when new frames are being made.

Questions about this job
How much do flyscreen repairs cost?
Labour starts from $129, including GST. Parts and materials are additional unless stated otherwise. Pricing can be affected by the number of screens and mesh type, whether the frame can be reused or must be remade, removal and refitting access (especially upstairs), and whether the frame must be taken away. A starting price is not a fixed quote; the accepted quote sets the scope.
Can a torn flyscreen be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Torn or pet-damaged mesh can usually be re-meshed in the existing frame. Where a frame is beyond repair, we will say so and quote a replacement instead.
Do you repair on site or take the screens away?
Simple re-meshing is usually done on site. Frames that need remaking are measured and completed on a return visit.
Can you use pet-resistant mesh?
Yes, where the frame suits it. We will explain the difference in cost and durability before you decide.
Can you fix a sliding screen door that jams?
Sliding screen door rollers, guides and alignment are included. Security-door certification and supply of new security doors are not part of this service.
