Paddington context
What screen door & flyscreen repair looks like in Paddington
We fit Paddington flyscreens with reversible brackets where possible — through-screwed to original timber sash frames in a way that doesn't permanently mark the frame if the screen is removed. Heritage joinery limits the visible bracket profile; we use slim-profile brackets in matching finishes (oil-rubbed bronze, antique brass, satin nickel) to suit the rest of the door and window hardware. Pull-down spring tension is replaced rather than the whole unit where the spring is the only failure point — preserving the original heritage-fit frame.
Recent Paddington job
Recent: Underwood Street terrace. Two original 1990s pull-down flyscreens with weakened spring tension — replaced springs only, original frames retained. One front entry-hall sash window re-meshed in fly-fine. Two-hour visit.

Bondi windows take more abuse than almost anywhere in Sydney — salt mist, summer sun, and southerly buster gusts. We repair sash windows, sliding aluminium tracks, awning hinges, and timber that's swollen or rotted at the sill.
Weatherstripping & Draught-Proofing
Older Bondi terraces and Art Deco apartments leak heat through doors, windows, and skirting gaps. We fit door seals, window weatherstrips, draught excluders, and gap-fill skirting — energy bill drops within a month.

Mouldy bathroom grout, cracked silicone around the bath, blackened kitchen splashback joints — we strip out the old, prep the joints properly, and lay new mildew-resistant grout and silicone. Your shower stops smelling, the bond cleaner stops complaining.
