[@only_owls]

One of my radiators had a screw and that made it easy to take off. My other rads didn't and I couldn't get them off and figured maybe they weren't meant to come off. Thanks to this video as gave me confidence that a bit more effort would make it slide. It was very very stiff as they have been on for over 10 years but finally it popped off..finally I can clean the dust and oh my was there a lot :-( but it's gone now yay so satisfying!!!

Keep using your video for taking off radiators for decorating, very useful and huge thanks ... however some of my radiators are different. The side panels are enclosed around the pipe so do not lift off how Jan is showing us and the top panel is on top of the side panel ... have I seen another one of your instructions with a different radiator? Thanks

The single panel video should help.

fantastic... I ended up making a vacuum attachment from straws and tape to get in the openings... this is so much easier

Thanks so much for this, just subscribed as hoping to do a bit more DIY around the house. I've managed to shift the side panels on mine but can't get them off - the hole at the top on the side panels won't come over the bits protruding in the radiator, like they're not big enough. is there anything more I can do?

this was so helpful! Unfortunately I looked up your video after I found myself in a bit of a pickle. I took it off the wrong way taking the top grill out and leaving the side bits in, then I found it extremely difficult to put back on. There were two metal bits sticking out of the side grill facing upwards and I didn't know what to do with them, in the end I just folded them down with pliers and managed but I don't think that's correct! What should I have done?

[@dereton33]

They are suppose to lock in the sides.

A long thin brush.

I have not oong moved into a property and when heatings on tge house stinks. I wondered why and just thought workers had left debri behind radiators. Well it was worse than I thought. They were dirty beyond belief with thick thick dust and cobwebs behind, inside etc. Looks like it hasnt been cleaned for 15 years or more. Cant cope so came looking for this video xo

Take them off, then stick some, tape on the inside so the covers do not touch metal.

[@lg_believe333]

Thank you for this. I have the same radiators but lately I’ve noticed some clothes moths flying from out of my radiators late at night. There is a lot of dust behind there and I don’t have carpet downstairs, just laminate flooring and carpet upstairs. I don’t want to use brushes incase there is a moth infestation behind there and I start disturbing them when they start moving about. Well, that’s what my mind is telling me. Lol. Overthinking it and not looking forward to it. But I’m thinking about getting the Henry Flexi Crevice Tool for my Henry Hoover to hoover up behind there after I remove the side/s and top metal plates to gain access. Also, I have Rentokil Insectrol Moth spray and Rentokil Clothes Moth Killer Spray incase I need it and some spare hoover bags. After I’ve hoovered behind all my radiators downstairs I will place underneath each radiator some moth traps to monitor moth activity but I’m hoping after I’ve done this the numbers decrease. To be fair I’ve never really hoovered behind my rads before because it’s not the easiest of places to hoover but seems it’s an ideal spot for Insects. Thanks.

[@dereton33]

Good luck with it.

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

be careful to hold the rad down with your wrist while you pull the cover with your hand (top bit). Because the rads are not fastend into their brackets, they just rest on them, and they are usually not expected to be lifted up (they rely on the clamped rad pipes held in to hold them - but on upper floors tha rad pipes can just be loose under the floor.

[@paulmurray4679]

Good vid. thank you, BUT my radiators confuse me, the top panel sits OVER the end pieces, and so won't just pop up like yours, plus the side panels don't have "keyhole" shapes for the pipes. just round openings, what can I do please.

[@isbsey]

Put the thin nozzle of your vacuum cleaner down it or slip one of those sheets for the tumble dryer down a slot, pull it out and the dust will be stuck to it. Roll the dust off and then go to the next slot. Tedious, but it works.

[@erinbarclay7724]

My radiator is slightly different, the sides do need to come off first but they don't have a keyhole shaped opening around the valve for the radiator bleed key, so if you pull the sides up they just run into the nut that's sticking out of the hole. Any suggestions?

[@dereton33]

They are a different model, the ones that do not easily come off.

[@aequanimitas]

I can't find any videos that show how to do this on radiators like mine. On mine the top grill overlaps the side panels, not the other way around.

[@dereton33]
