We can supply and fit Fly Screen doors and windows for pretty much all applications. Our range of fly screens come from Safety Screens click here for images and descriptions and Insect-o-cuter click here for images and descriptions.

The main things to be aware of with fly screening are:

a) If you are running a food or food related business - Fly screens should be fitted to doors and windows that lead into food storage and production areas - this is a requirement under the General Food Hygiene regulations 1985 

b) The screens should be removable for cleaning. Like anything (but especially in food production areas) your screens will get dirty and then may create a hygiene issue themselves. We have a cleaning/maintenance service for your screens - no matter what make they are.

c) Screens should be sturdy and "up to the job". When you buy screens the only thing that you should need to replace in their life is the fly screen mesh. this is not expensive. There are plenty of cheap fly screens on the market - remember the old adage "Buy Cheap - Buy Twice"

d) Screens on windows and doors should cover the whole opening. This sounds a bit basic but you would be surprised with screens that have been fitted in the past (either DIY projects or by professional companies !). Research shows that 99% of the flies in a test population will get through a 1% gap in or around a screen.

e) The mesh in/on your screens should be small enough to exclude small flies as well as large ones. Yes - another basic point and in truth most screens made by the trade fulfill this criteria. It is true that extra fine mesh can be fitted when there is a local issue with extremely small flies (such as phorids which thrive on the biomass commonly found in sewage beds)

Most issues with screens that are not "up to scratch" in this area are those in the DIY field and again this is a quick and inexpensive "fix".

f) Frame material - whilst wood is a useful material and easy to shape it is frowned upon for fly screening as unless it is kept scrupilously clean it gathers dirt easily and any damp absorbed by the wood will support microscopic mould bloom which can and does become airborne - not desirable in food areas ! Another issue with wooden frames for screening is that wood warps in wet weather and gaps that flying insects can get through start to appear around the very apperture that you were trying to screen off in the first place.

g) Gaurantee - like all quality products you screens should be backed by a cast iron parts and labour gaurantee.
