Fly Screen Repairs in Wollongong: Mesh Types, Costs & When to Replace

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.
