I've been renovating my bathroom, and essentially changed a couple of bits of copper pipe with JG speedfit so I could run a T off for the toilet to be moved half a metre. I haven't changed the system in any way. I've also had advice about it all from my plumber.
Then I started thinking, what if in worst case scenario, the house floods and I had to claim on insurance. Would I be covered if I'd done it myself?
Of course this can happen whether I do it some random certified plumber does it, I'm just talking worst case, as far as insurance goes.
It's simple stuff, all done as meticulously as possible, and pressure tested for weeks actually while I work on other rooms. So far no leaks, everything is solid! So obviously a flooding situation is extremely unlikely. Because if someone noticed any water coming through the kitchen ceiling for instance, they'd turn the mains water off.
Thanks
