Flyscreen Repair and Replacement
ordinary insect-screen mesh, spline and compatible removable screen frames
Common situations
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.
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.
Service overview
Measure the existing screen and show how it sits in the opening. Overall dimensions alone may omit clips, recesses or clearance. A customer-supplied replacement should be checked against the fixing arrangement before purchase, especially where the old screen is missing.
Show hinges, rollers or catches as well as the mesh panel. A mesh replacement is different from correcting a damaged door frame or movement problem. Hardware work can be reviewed separately, while security-screen systems and specialist glazing remain excluded.
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.
Fit suitable mesh and spline to an accepted sound frame, or install a compatible ordinary supplied screen and check its fit. Scope limits: Ordinary insect mesh and compatible screen frames only. No security screens, fall-protection claims, specialist glazing or inaccessible high-level work.

Clayton property context
For Clayton enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested flyscreen repair and replacement. Check whether the existing frame is sound and removable before choosing remeshing or a compatible supplied replacement. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. Electrical, plumbing and gas work must go to appropriately licensed trades, while structural movement or load-bearing changes may need a qualified builder or engineer. Mention leaks, wiring, gas appliances, significant cracking or structural concerns in the first enquiry so it is clear from the start whether another trade is needed.
