DIY SOS

There has been a leak and there is a lot of water everywhere. The chipboard and ceiling boards are soaked and I have had to remove lots of insulation, the tank is still standing.

The installer says it is fine, the cylinder is 170L so I would guess 180kg when full, I believe the chipboard is 22mm. I know chipboard and water don't go well so I thought that 22mm ply should have been used?

We have just had a old gravity system removed and a new system boiler installed, the unvented cylinder has been placed in the loft. The loft is boarded with chipboard and the cylinder is sat in the middle of two joists with a wall running underneath. Is this safe?
