The hardware store (Home Depot) sold me a huge roll of wire fencing (1/4" spacing) for $10.
This should give a pretty minimal airflow restriction. Looks OK, not super.

Surprised no one mentioned Office Depot or any office supply store. I picked up a vertical paper holder for $5.99 at Office Depot. It's black metal mesh, strong yet easy to work with provided you have some wire cutters.

Yeah, the office supply store is a good source. They also sell trash cans made from that same mesh that can be cut into whatever size you need.
Another source of "mesh" with slightly larger "diamond" shape holes can be found at your neighborhood Lowes. It is the premium metal gutter cover and comes in a 6' x 36' (maybe 48") section and is of a metallic finish. It sells for about $2 and works really well for custom fan grills and psu mods.

Mine's the expanded diamond type. I salvaged it off the muck covered filter of a pond pump, submerged for 29 years. Stainless steel - it polished up nicely.
Shame I couldn't get the pump to run.

I went to the local Wal-Mart and looked in the grilling (bbq-pits) section and bought a weiner grill for $0.94 ,it's 12" x 16"..I bought the filter media there too..I realize you don't have Wal-Mart there in the UK but look around a bit... Think outside the box, M8

Brilliant. That same product may outfit luxury yachts at ten times the price. Think outside the box, scan the rudest markets.

That is analytical grade mesh, but anything lower than 150microns in stainless steel shouldn't be more than 12$ per square foot. At very low opening sizes, you won't see much behind it, air would get through it but it would be fairly restrictive.
You would able to find a local reseller if Tyler doesn't have a direct rep in UK. Fisher Scientific most probably carry their products.

Archilochus,
I had been wondering where you picked up MOBYDICK'S "grill"ing. I had run across that stuff once, and forgot about it until I just saw your post. It is very similar to the stuff from Lowes, but the sheet size is different, allowing it to be used in situations where the stuff from Lowes wouldn't work. It just so happens that I'm headed to Wal Mart in the next hour or two...I guess that I'll have to swing by the Lawn & Garden Section now.
