Radiators

[JoeyB]

How do I tile behind a radiator?

[steve2010]

take it off,close both ends with the taps,undo the connections and take it off at a angle directing the water into a bucket at one end

..continued. Remove the rad brackets off the wall. Complete tiling, drilling holes in tiles where the rad bracket holes are. Grout. Re-attach rad brackets. Re-aatch rad. Refill with water.
Be aware that you must be able to move the pipework attached to the rad as tiling will move it forward by 12mm or so. If you can't do that, you'll have to tile around the brackets.

Why bother, just do as far as you can see?

[EDLEE]

do it right or again.

Further to buildersmate's answer, if you cannot move the supply and return pipes you may be greater or lesser throw out from the wall. able to turn the brackets through 90 degrees. they are made asymetrical to to give the option of a greater or lesser throwout
