hi , hope someone can answer this easy question for me?

Im about to install a new bathroom suite but im NOT changing the radiator in the bathroom.Do i need to drain down the whole system i.e the central heating to install the new bathroom suite before i start work???

hi the central heating is run of a seperate curcuit so you dont need to drain it bazza

if you're not moving the radiator there's no need to drain the heating system,

just turn off cold supply and let hot taps run until they stop (if a combi boiler just turn off cold supply there'll be no hot water to drain)

To remove radiator turn off both valves on radiator and undo the nuts, there'll still be water in the radiator but this can be emptied outside.
