Fly Screen Repairs in the Northern Rivers
Fresh Air Without the Bugs
Few things beat a breeze through the house until a torn or loose fly screen lets insects inside. Working Windows provides fly screen repairs across the Northern Rivers, helping homes and businesses keep airflow while keeping the pests out. We also manufacture fly screens for windows and doors on site, ensuring a precise fit for every opening, with retractable screens available as a flexible and modern option.
Fly screens can become damaged through everyday wear, weather exposure or accidental tears. Mesh may loosen, frames can bend and sliding screens may stop moving smoothly. Repairs can include replacing damaged mesh, repairing frames, reinstalling screens and adjusting hardware so everything sits correctly again. New fly screen manufacture and installation can also help when an existing screen is beyond repair, including custom-built and retractable solutions.
If your fly screens are torn, loose or no longer sliding properly, help is close by. Call 0405 793 994 to organise fly screen repairs across the Northern Rivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can fly screens be repaired or do they need replacing?
Many fly screens can be repaired depending on the condition of the frame and hardware. Torn mesh is one of the most common issues and can usually be replaced without replacing the entire screen. If the frame is still in good condition, a new mesh can be fitted to restore the screen’s function. Replacement is typically only required when the frame is severely bent, corroded or damaged beyond repair.
How long does fly screen mesh last?
The lifespan of fly screen mesh depends on the material used and the conditions it is exposed to. Standard mesh may last several years, while stronger materials designed for durability can last longer. Exposure to sun, salt air and frequent use can gradually weaken the mesh, which may lead to tears or sagging. Regular inspection helps identify damage early so repairs can be carried out before the screen fails completely.
Why does my flyscreen keep falling out?
A flyscreen may fall out if the frame becomes loose or the retaining hardware wears down. Sliding screens can also fall out when rollers wear or tracks become damaged. If the frame no longer fits tightly within the window or door opening, it may move out of position during use. Adjusting the frame, replacing worn components or reinstalling the screen correctly usually resolves the issue.
Custom Screens That Fit Right
Sometimes a fly screen just needs a new mesh. Other times the frame is bent, worn or no longer fits the opening the way it should. In these situations, a new screen can often be the best solution. At Working Windows, we manufacture and install fly screens across the Northern Rivers so they fit neatly, slide smoothly and stand up to everyday use.
A well-fitted flyscreen should sit securely in the frame while still being easy to remove when needed. Poorly fitted screens can rattle, fall out of place or leave small gaps where insects find their way inside. By measuring and fitting screens carefully, new flyscreens can restore both airflow and protection while keeping windows and doors operating normally.
Whether replacing damaged mesh or installing a completely new screen, the focus is always on a clean fit and reliable performance so homes can enjoy fresh air without unwanted visitors.
