Flyscreen Repair and Replacement
ordinary insect-screen mesh, spline and compatible removable screen frames
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.
A sound ordinary frame may be worth remeshing; extensive frame damage can make a compatible replacement more practical. Send photographs before purchasing. The service does not promise custom fabrication of any screen system or alteration of the surrounding window assembly.
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.
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.
Kew East property context
An occupied Kew East property may need preparation before flyscreen repair and replacement can begin. Show the complete screen, frame corners, mesh damage and fixing method, with opening and screen measurements. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Kew East sits near Ivanhoe, Alphington, Ivanhoe East and Eaglemont. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Planning the work
Check whether the existing frame is sound and removable before choosing remeshing or a compatible supplied replacement. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Handle the screen by its frame and follow mesh care instructions. An insect screen is not a security barrier or fall-prevention device. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Show the complete screen, frame corners, mesh damage and fixing method, with opening and screen measurements. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Common situations
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.
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.
Different mesh products have different handling and fixing requirements. Share the proposed product and the screen dimensions before ordering. This is ordinary insect-screen work; stronger-sounding product labels do not turn an ordinary frame into a certified security or protective screen.

FAQ
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.
