Making a really good job of papering or painting a room often means taking a radiator off the wall - but only tackle this level of plumbing work if you’re confident of your ability.
Time required:
About 20 minutes per radiator
Cost:
Free
Skill level:
Advanced
You'll need:
Radiator key; two adjustable wrenches; old sheets and towels; screwdriver; PTFE tape; bucket or bowl
Turn off your central heating and allow the water to cool down.
Place old sheets and towels beneath the valves at each end of the radiator. Next, turn the on/off or control valve to the ‘off’ position. For a thermostatic valve, switch to the fully ‘off’ and not just the frost setting (small snowflake symbol).
