    Hi Nick - this is great! Made a mistake with righty tighty the first time and hadn't shut the valves completely. Second one's gone fine though!

    This makes it seem so easy. Fingers crossed it is as easy as it looks. Thanks for the tips.

      So mine didn't work! I don't think I have the right type of radiators and we broke a pipe and had to call out a plumber to fix it.

    Hi Nick, after you drained the radiators why not use brackets that allow the radiator to tilt forward to the floor with the radiator full for future decorating. Mine work great.

    Wow!. you made that look easy. I have a question. I have a tiny 2 x 2 ft (approx) radiator positioned under a bay window off the floor, with the pipes coming out of the plasterboard (and not out of the floor). I want to completely remove not just the radiator but also the pipes that come proud of the plasterboard wall into the room. Is this possible?

    Nick if you take it off, can you flush it so it's clean. For example in the garden to get rid off black slush?

    Hi Nick, Thanks for the useful video. I am planning to replaster and paint behind the radiator. Can I still turn on the central heating while one radiator is taken off to warm other rooms.

    Is there another way to stop the water coming out if you dont have any push fit or copper pipes like a stopper?
    The old radiator is getting replaced by a towel radiator and will be off for a while.
    Any help would be great as the wall is being plastered.

      You mean a thermostatic radiator valve.. it's done the same, but use a Female Blanking Cap WASHING/ MACHINE RADIATOR Valve Brass Cap with Washer or the valve may open and cause a flood. But, you've probably done all this by now and sorted it..😂
