With Wollongong’s warm coastal climate, fly screens are a year-round essential. Torn mesh, bent frames, or screens that won’t close properly are not just annoying — they let in insects and reduce your home’s security. Here’s what you need to know about fly screen repairs in the Illawarra.
Types of Fly Screen Mesh
- Standard fibreglass mesh — affordable, suits most homes
- Aluminium mesh — more durable, good for high-traffic areas
- Pet-resistant mesh — heavy-duty, withstands clawing and pushing
- Security mesh (stainless steel) — high security, also blocks insects
Fly Screen Repair Costs in Wollongong
- Single screen re-mesh (standard): $50–$120
- New frame fitting: $80–$200 per screen
- Full window replacement: $150–$350
- Pet-resistant mesh upgrade: Add 30–50% to standard price
- Security screen installation: $250–$600 per screen
Repair vs Replace?
If the frame is in good condition, re-meshing is always cheaper than full replacement. If the frame is bent, corroded, or the wrong size, a full new screen is the better option. We’ll assess and advise honestly.
