Removing inside vent cover for cleaning

[john bywater]

Hi all hope someone can help

Have attached pic of vent, no obvious screws have tried "popping" it out have tried turning to the right and then left nothing almost seems wedged in.

Have also tried to pop the cover out with a flat screwdriver but not really budging (is a tiny little bit but the cover seems quite fragile and don't want to force it)

Basically it is disgusting under the cover and needs a good clean, recently moved into property and could not figure out why so much dust in the air think this is why.

What is the correct way these should be opened?

thanks for any help appreciated

Centre pops out easily , levers out , or can be vacuumed in situ.

The outer ring should come off with a quarter turn, it is only a cover. The centre section will be screwed in situ.. That is how mine is made & looks the same as yours. If you mean you already have the outer ring off & still cannot remove the inner part then as you suspect, it has probably been glued in place. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Produc...MI5vbZqdqP4AIV5jLTCh3KvgA_EAQYBSABEgJTivD_BwE

i cant even get the outer ring off think that is glued in!

thanks for your reply

Is it just stuck with emulsion paint? Try running a blade round it. If it is still tight try tapping it gently all round then applying upward pressure at the same time as turning it. I can't think why anyone would need to glue it in place.
