Now that Mr Fly has shut up shop, I would suggest that you look at these two posts: -

I don't know of anyone who is not actively involved in the supply and fitting of flyscreens who would stock the mesh as a retail item... Sorry!

Having watched my mesh being replaced, I realised how easy it is to do it yourself, and have since done so! The mesh is held in place by a large 'rubber band' which fits into the slot all the way around the screen. Remove the 'rubber band' with a pointed implement and the old mesh screen can be removed. Stretch the new mesh over the screen and trap it in position by re-inserting the 'rubber band' into its groove. The 'professional' had a special little tool to replace the band, but anything like a blunt pencil, or even a finger can be used. Once all is in place, trim off the excess mesh. No glue needed. Good luck!

Thanks for suggestions will make contact with those advised.

I did replace a small section of Mesh myself about 3 years ago and yes it was relatively straightforward. This time we have a few bits that need replacing and if I am honest I just cannot be bothered to get the mesh and do the job....far to hot and sweaty. But do agree it's not rocket science to do yourself.

Hopefully we can get a man in to do it.....and make a better job for sure!

I write this purely for information, 2 of our doors the lower halves of our fly screens were used for the cats manicures..

We had the pet mesh fitted which is sturdier (and more expensive) to the lower parts of the doors, a year on still going strong.

Mr Fly fitted them.
