Hi
Complete newbie here.
I am having a new floor installed (laminate). I understand I can remove radiators by shutting off the valves, and bleeding, which based on sources online seems doable.
However, the new floor will need to be laid from above, and to keep things looking trim, I will need to remove the valve completely from the pipe so the hole in the laminate is pipe sized, not valve sized. Pic is attached.
Is this something that is safe to do once the water is shut off, or do I need to do something more complicated, such as draining the system, in which case I will get a plumber to do it? I have a combi boiler.
Thanks!
