Firstly, apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum.
Need your help please. I have a Silivent Mayfair 70 extractor fitted in the ceiling of my bathroom, and it's failed so I'm going to replace it with the same. Fallen at the first hurdle !
The cover has a screw on one side, and on the opposite side 2 tabs which fit into slots in the mounting box. My problem is that the tabs are probably about 5mm deep, and to remove the cover I am going to have to cut away 5mm of the plasterboard, and then replace.
Cutting this away and making good isn't an issue, but I want to avoid this if possible - it seems that it shouldn't be necessary.
Please help !
Many thanks in advance
