    Best way to remove this radiator?

    Hold that thought, just thinking there, surely I could just screw new clips onto new skirting, move the pipes slighlt then put the skirting in place then just pop the pipes into the new clips. DOes that sound plausible?

    Best way to remove this radiator?

    Thanks very much Craig for the help! One other thing, how to fit the new clips to the new skirting? I assume the pipes must be slid into the clips? This is not going to be possible. Whast your opinions?
