I am looking to remove a storage heater, can anyone tell me when you

Switch off circuit. Open faceplate of unwanted heater. Disconnect
cable to heater. Replace faceplate. Switch circuit back on. Remover
unwanted heater.

Shouldn't you remove the cable at the spur box end in the wall?

Beware of asbestos in the old heater, and any dust within
the heater should be damped down, vaccuumed out with a
*bagged* cleaner and the bag carefully sealed and binned.

I thought storage heaters just had bricks to store the heat. They don't
get all that hot.

They've got a lot of relatively heat resistant insulation, and the elements
between the bricks can get pretty hot. Maybe it never needed to be asbestos,
but at the time asbestos was cheap and available, and most other cheap
insulation was not heat resistant at all.
