Using pipe freeze
Pipe freez is also not cheap, over priced in fact.

I have used this in the past when moving radiators round but never on a

heater and just need the pipes blocked long enough to cut the existing
pipes and fit a couple of full bore isolating valves. So any gotchas?

I've used a mains-powered freezer successfully (just) but had a couple of
fails with pipe freeze. I wouldn't bother with freezers; release the
pressure and cut/isolate one pipe at a time. There won't be much water
loss but I would have a wet vac handy just in case.
