Remove Radiator

When refitting it, sit it back on the brackets and use ptfe tape on the threads before tightening the valves, open the "wheel nuts" at each end and bleed until no air is left in the rad - at the same time checking the pressure level on the boiler. Hope this is ok - works for me every time. Franko.

Will certainly give that a go. Thanks a lot Franko

No problem Truffle - just don't forget the towels as your missus won't be too happy about black stains on the carpet - been there, done that !

Far simpler would be to get from one of the diy sheds a long handled roller to paint behind the rad without removing it.

Anything similar for removing wallpaper?

Not that I'm familiar with. I would use a normal scraper to remove as much as I could reach, Then paint over the rest with the long roller. No-one's going to see it much are they?

Mind you, I'm a lazy git.

Steve Always the simple option.

The problem I've found is all the 'frayed' edges that are left, maybe I'll just stick them back down.

... from another lazy git :-)
