I'm in the process of redecorating my house and have just removed all of my radiators. On one of them there is a slight drip from one of the valves even though the valve was tightly closed so I have put the radiator back on. Should I replace the valve and if so how should I do this?

should bother if its leaking out of the valve towards where the rads fits. just fit the rad back and take it off for the short time when u decorate behind it. u could leave it off and just screw in tap connector with a drain valve attached to stop it coming out
Remove the cap and give the valve a little tweak with an adjustable spanner, sometimes this is enough to stop a small leak. Alternatively pack the opening with some kitchen paper. This should hold the drip long enough to decorate. Dont forget to remove it afterwards though.

Thanks, I'll just take it off on the day that I decorate behind it.
