  • Cheers. I think taking it off is probably the wisest, I'll see what is under the fake valve. No carpet in that room so not the end of the world if it drips a bit as I take it off. After closing the valves do you need additional caps over the exposed pipes or is that only for TRVs? I assume I can still use the central heating whilst it is off?

  • You don't need any more caps if you have turned the valves off at both end.

    Of course, for the TRVs, they just operate the valve underneath so you can just pull them off and turn the valve manually and leave off until you've painted.
