Questions

Re-meshing questions

Do I need to measure for re-meshing?

No. You bring the screens to us, so there's nothing to measure. Just tell us how many screens or doors you're bringing and the mesh you want.

Can you re-mesh screen doors?

Yes. We re-mesh fly screen doors as well as window screens.

How long does re-meshing take?

It depends on how many screens you bring and how busy the workshop is. We'll give you a time when we confirm your drop-off.

Do I need to book?

Yes. Send the booking form on this page first so we know what's coming, and we'll confirm a drop-off time with you.
