Bathroom Extractor fan problem

    Hi,
    Couple of weeks ago the extractor fan in the bathroom went. I bought a new one from a local hardware in Athlone and was going to replace it myself. However when I got it down, the new one doesn't match the alignment of the holes in the celing. Now I could go and drill 4 new holes for the extractor fan, but it occurred to me that I'm likely to have the same problem the next time - hence possibly 4 new holes and the celing just won't support an extractor fan weight. So I want to replace like for like. AFAIK the model thats no longer working is still being made...

    its a GET gfan4t

    Does anyone know of where these are stocked in the midlands?

    Cheers

    Just thinking out side the box if its just the mounting holes are the issue would you not drill holes in the new fan base

    Thanks Mr. Fred, but I'm not sure they do the GET fan, because when I go to complete the order online it defaults to "standard timed extractor fan" with no mention of model. I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow. Anyone know of anywhere else?
