Removing radiators

[DIYDANDY]

Have recently moved into a Housing Association rented house and the HA have given us £250.00 credit to spend on decoration.

I need to remove radiators to make decorating easier. The problem is I am not sure what to do in this case.

Have removed a few in the past as the CH system was I think you call it a sealed unit.

The system in this house does not appear to be a sealed unit, so I need to know if this is a DIY job or do I need a plumber.

One other thing there is a valve on one side (RHS) of the rad but not on the other side, on tuther side the pipe is connected to the rad.

Hopefully, I can upload a couple of pictures

It is a sealed system, so dump the excess pressure (not through the PRV), tighten the cap on the AAV and crack on with your work.

How do I dump excess?
Where is cap on AVV

Sorry to be a pain.

The way to go about this:
Turn off the boiler at the spur, and take the fuse out.
Drain the system completely.
Remove rads.

You may need approval of the owner to do this.
