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
  • Sliding screen door rollers, guides and alignment
  • Pet-resistant and finer mesh options where suitable
  • Screens measured for replacement when repair is not worthwhile

Not included

  • • Security-door certification or compliance claims
  • • Supply and installation of new security doors as a repair item
  • • Window glass, seals or the window mechanism itself
  • • Access requiring scaffolding or elevated work platforms

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.
