Common situations
Explain how the screen is accessed and whether removal is possible from a safe position. Upper-level or inaccessible screens may fall outside ordinary access. The quote should identify accepted screens rather than assume every window at the property can be reached.
Mesh needs suitable tension without distorting the frame. Corners and long sides should be checked during fitting, following the material requirements. Over-tightening is not a way to strengthen an old frame, and loose mesh may reflect a retaining-channel problem.
Remeshing relies on a usable frame with sound corners and retaining channels. A bent or cracked frame may need replacement instead. Tight new mesh should not be used to pull a distorted frame into shape or disguise damaged attachments.
Service overview

Signs: a handle, latch, hinge, track or screen is visibly worn or damaged or the window is stiff, loose or no longer moves through its normal range. Causes: normal wear in accessible moving hardware or loose compatible fixings or adjustment points.
The retaining spline must suit the frame groove and mesh. Reusing a brittle or incorrectly sized spline can leave an uneven result. Keep any accessible product information and show the groove where visible, without damaging the frame to obtain a sample.
