I am planning on removing a radiator in the kitchen so that I can tile behind it. This could be for several days, due to me being slow and the need to leave time for grouting etc.
Also, I may replace the radiator for a more modern type.
My questions to all the DiY experts out there -
Is it sufficient to turn off the thermostic valve and the lock-shield valve, or do I need to cap the flow and return pipes?
Secondly, if / when I fit the new rad I will need to shorten or extend the pipework on at least one side. If I turn off the heating (turn off the power supply to the boiler) will there be a problem (i.e. flood) when I cut the pipe on one side?
