I can see that the labourer had plans to screw the exhaust in around more than just two edges, but the brittle nature of the plastic wouldn't allow for it. as a result I felt that I should tape the edges to make it more secure (even though it had teeth the other end) and to distribute the pulling forces on it, as well as to make sure all the hot air was going outside of the room.

And how does one remove it with the driven in screws?

I smacked those screws (yea, I'm the type of person who hammers screws) into the frame, I just don't think that much of my landlord anyway, this is London after all.

That brings back memories of Mr. Merrilees, my high school woodwork teacher. :D
He would pound screws in with a hammer, he called it an "American screwdriver" (not to be confused with a "Yankee screwdriver").
The threads make them hold like a ring nail, remove with a screwdriver as per normal.
