Rarely get rads that big on domestics. There's always enough movement to lift them off the brackets, you balance the rad on a crate or your toolbox once folded down. Obviously, on really old and shitty systems you won't get away with it but 9 times out of 10 you're OK.

Lazy feckerGot to me job this morning and the radiator was still on the wall.Customer said can you just take it off,skim it and pop it back as you are working.Was back in the van within 2 minutes on me way home.I try not to walk off jobs,it's that feeling when u driving back that I don't like,the same as leaving a football match and your team been thrashed.Got to say though it felt flipping GREAT to have the day off.
No homo erotic manc anal rapeRite back on radiators now lads..
The customer did take the others off in the hallway and left the brackets on which I advised and was fine with,I could get round those fine ..the one today though cuz it wouldn't stop dripping is why he said what I said earlier.I just can't be arsed when I in these situations and think I am better off at home..on the plus side went to a quote and got a job sorted for January,alls well that ends well.
Thanks Malcwhen we replace a rad we always use tape on the joint. no risk of a leak then.
Yup exactly what I use to tell themGotta look at it that your liability insurance wont cover you if a rad leaks and causes damage so why ever take a risk ....
In my experience it don't leak there , it leaks where the valve meets the copper pipe , then you've got agg, no matter how much u tighten up, I've known the valve to be only just on the pipe and the whole thing come offwhen we replace a rad we always use tape on the joint. no risk of a leak then.
Lol I did that a couple of times,loosened them off but one rad was old so where the pipe goes into the isolation tap it had fuesd so I lowered it down and it twisted the lower pipe(below the isolation valve) and burst,so I don't do that any moreI just loosen the valves, fold the rad down and crack on. No need to drain the system down or top it up after. Takes 5 minutes. And my liability covers leaks but I've never had one.
It would be cheaper!I just skim the rad
Little update,he texted last night to say when am I going back...i said have u got the radiator off...had no reply yet...gave him plumber number but got a feeling he still trying to do it himself...oh and no mention of the £450 he owes me for completed hallway lol
