Flyscreen repairs
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.
Labour from $141.90+ incl. GST
What the job usually includes
- Re-meshing window and door flyscreens
- Frame straightening, corner and clip replacement

Not included

What affects the price
- Number of screens and the mesh type chosen
- Whether the frame can be reused or must be remade
- 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.
Photos from this kind of job
Photos from our own jobs. Where work needs a licence or council approval, a licensed trade handles that part and we take care of the rest on site.

Questions about this job
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.
