    Sounds like the trvs shut down and open the abv under the boiler making a noise? If so adjust down the abv as long as one rad does not have a trv job done. If they all have trvs take the head off the bathroom one.

    Is it safe to smash this tank up?

    If it's a paying job then you need to leave it or remove it using an approved method/ company. Personally I'd make it removable and get a company to take it away. Keep all receipts/ certificates for as long as your alive to cover yourself.
