Changing a TRV without draining down.

Has anyone ever got a trv replaced without draining down the system and if so who did it for you. I mean the whole valve, not just the top half. I just need the one replacing. cheers.

If your pipework to the rads qualpex you can get a pipe clamp as an alternative to freezing.
