Default Re: Tiling around a radiator

close valve at each end, then loosen the nuts slightly, (slight seepage may occurr) lift off brackets, and fold over forward. dont forget to find something approprate to rest it on, a couple of boxes of tiles maybe. then tighten up the nuts again with radiator still attached but leaning forward.
i usually take the brackets off too and refit them on the surface of the tile. Once you have got it all back together keep an eye on it for a day or two in case it is leaking.
And if you don't feel 100% confident call a plumber
good luck
