Just tape the olives should be fine.

Had a major leak over Xmas while away (insurance sort of currently dealing with it.)
Due to lack of plumbers in the UK, I bled, removed, rinsed and refitted the radiator. Adding (originally missing) teflon tape to the screw threas and olive mating face on the rad. Took about 10 minutes including the garden hose based power flush

Same radiators just being put back in? I did this recently and was pleasantly surprised to discover it worked first time. I used this rather than tape https://www.screwfix.com/p/fernox-ls-x-leak-sealer-50ml/23614

Re-installing radiators after decorating (Valves haven't moved) with simple caps on top. How difficult is it to not have it leak etc ... when setting up with PTFE tape etc..? I have two to do and don't think a plumber will be bothered to come round for this
