Honestly, - on some houses removing rads method is quicker than proper power flush I bet. Certainly no slower from what I see. I also reckon if after some power flushing is done and a rad is removed, there will be crud still in it.

Bugger that.. I imagine black sludge spurting out over walls & carpets 🙁 plus it gives me a bad back just thinking about the concept!!

Depends on the house, - if it is all white carpets etc, then I would be wary to lift rads off. But if it's mainly tiled or wood floors, then no worries.
Sure you can drain the system first, then put plugs on rad rails if it is too risky.
Does really need two people to lift rads off, although I have done a few by myself. Must admit it's not worth a sore back!
