Usually all that's needed is to turn the stop valve off and turn the boiler off at the wall and a towel if you want everything totally dry.

Re: removing whb and rad
not changing the valves no ?
if you do release the prv then it may not re-seal, judging by your q's replacing a prv would be out of your scope, its rather worrying your doing paid jobs and you dont know how to drain a combi matey least your coming on here to check thoughLast edited by moony; 15-01-2010 at 09:00 PM.
