Mosquito Net Repair in Dubai
Torn mesh, a frame that has come apart at the corner, a screen that keeps jumping off its track, a broken handle. If the frame is sound, a repair costs far less than a new screen. We take on screens of any type, including ones somebody else fitted, and collection is free.
01MEASURE IT AGAINST THE PRICE OF A NEW SCREEN
A new one runs at 320 AED per square metre. Re-meshing, rollers, brush seal and a handle fit inside that with room to spare — here a repair always wins.
02THE FITTER ARRIVES WITH THE CONSUMABLES
Mesh, spline, rollers and brush seal travel with him: those are usually what is wrong, and the job closes in one visit.
03THE PRICE IS GIVEN BEFORE ANYTHING IS UNDONE
There is no line-by-line repair price list: two windows that look identical give different amounts of work. The fitter looks and quotes on the spot.
04WHAT WE REPAIR MOST OFTEN
- Torn and sagging mesh — re-meshed
- A frame opened at the corners — pulled back together
- Rollers, brush seal, handle and catch — replaced
- Other companies' screens are taken on like our own
What we repair
- Symptom
- What we do about it
- Mesh torn or burnt through
- we re-stretch the whole sheet; we do not patch
- Mesh sags and slaps in the wind
- we re-tension the mesh and replace the sealing cord
- The leaf sticks and takes force to move
- we clean the sand out of the groove and fit new rollers and a new brush
- The screen has come off and hangs by one fixing
- we put it back and check whether the frame has come apart
- Handle broken or catch torn out
- we fit new hardware and reinforce the seat
- The roll-up cassette will not wind the mesh back
- we open the cassette and adjust the spring tension
- A pleated screen folds crooked, the cords have gone slack
- we re-tension the cords and line up the bottom profile
- Mosquitoes get into the flat with the mesh intact
- we look at how the screen meets the opening, not at the mesh itself
Repair or replace
The mesh gets replaced for as long as the frame is sound. You can check that yourself in a minute: lay the screen on a flat floor. If it sits on all four corners and does not rock, it can be re-stretched. If one corner lifts, the frame has twisted, and new mesh on it will sag again within a season.
The second thing to look at is the groove. If it is damaged or split along the edge, the cord has nothing to grip and re-stretching will not hold.
There is a case where we tell you not to repair. If the screen is old and the profile has gone brittle and already shows cracks at the corners, new mesh buys it a few months. It is more honest to say that at the start than to take money for work that will have to be done again.
How the repair works
Most often we collect. A technician comes, lifts the screen off the opening, takes it to the workshop, the frame is re-stretched there, and the screen comes back and goes up in place. That is faster and tidier than doing it on a balcony.
We repair on site when the screen cannot be removed: it sits in a fixed opening or it is anchored. The work then happens at your home and takes longer.
If there are several screens we take them all at once. That costs less than calling a technician out to each one in turn.
Before the visit we ask for a photograph of the part that failed. That is not a formality: the picture shows the profile type, and the technician brings the right hardware instead of coming back a second time.
What a repair costs
The price is made up of the visit and the parts. Rollers and catches are inexpensive; a cassette mechanism costs more. Re-stretching depends on the area of the frame and which mesh you choose. We will not quote over the phone, because half of the job is the condition of the frame and that is only visible in person. The inspection is free, and if the repair does not make sense we will tell you.
Someone else fitted it. Will you take it on?
Yes, we take it on. It makes no difference to us who fitted the screen: a frame is a frame and a groove is a groove. We will re-stretch somebody else's construction exactly as we would our own, with the same warranty on the work.
Who fitted the screen makes no difference: a missing part we make in our own workshop to the size we take off it.
Common questions
Can you just patch the hole?
We do not. A patch lets go and you are calling a technician again a month later. The mesh is replaced as a whole.
How do I know if the frame is still good?
Lay it on a flat floor. It should rest on all four corners without rocking.
Can I change the mesh type at the same time?
Yes, and it is a common reason for calling. If midges pass through the standard aperture we fit a finer one.
Do I have to bring it to you?
No. We come, take it down and take it away. Nothing needs transporting by you.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes, on the work done and on the parts fitted.

Our building maintenance was taking too long, so I contacted them directly. They asked for photos on WhatsApp, sent a quotation and arranged a date. Two installers arrived exactly on time, used shoe covers and finished three windows and a balcony door before lunch. They even adjusted a loose window handle without charging extra.

My cat has always been a nightmare for scratching nets — she destroyed the last ones I had. They recommended a heavy-duty scratch-resistant mesh and it is brilliant. She has tried her hardest to claw through it and hasn't managed once. Much stronger than the regular stuff, but still clear enough.

I have really big windows, so I thought screens would be a hassle. They came, measured up and made custom frames that fit exactly. No gaps anywhere. It has been months and nothing has moved or sagged.

My apartment is right next to a garden, so the bugs have always been relentless. They fitted fibre mesh on everything and it has been a game changer — it keeps out even the smallest midges that used to drive me crazy. Less sand gets in on windy days too.

I have a lot of plants at home, so I was worried the screens would block too much light. They recommended a very thin, almost invisible mesh. Plenty of light still comes through, and there are no more small insects around my plants.

After waking up with mosquito bites several times, I decided to install screens. They fitted magnetic screens on two bedroom windows — quick and clean. The magnets close properly and keep insects out, and the mesh quality is much better than the cheap ones I had before.
