I have a combi boiler that supplies 5 radiators, I don't want to empty the system, I just want to remove the radiator and valves in my bathroom. I can remove my radiator by isolating both valves but I need to take off both valves to get the new plastic boards behind.I would just like to know the steps I need to do so that I don't cause a problem. The steps I think I need are:
1. Remove the radiator by isolating the valves.
2. Turn off the boiler and stopcock.
3. Isolate the valves on all other radiators.
4. Drain the system where the bathroom valves are?
To put back on the opposite
 
Sounds about right bud just be careful as your valves may not hold especially if there are trvs fitted , you will need to cap off the pipes if you want to use the boiler for heating while your fitting the boards ? đź‘Ť

Thank you for getting back, the radiators and valves are not very old. The valves will only come off when I need to put the boards behind the radiator, then I will put the valves back on again. Thank you so much for your help.
