Turn the heating back on, wont make any difference, you can safely use the heating with the water turned off
Just drilled into a water pipe into the boiler. What to do next!

That sounds like a permanent repair to me.

So the insurance "emergency repair" consisted of a kid coming over and fixing the pipe..
Well done..
But, he didn't realise that the connector was so thick that the floorboard no longer fitted flat
And then he buggered off..!
Not so well done!
But hey even after complaining the result was.. "you no longer have a leak, your problem now!"
So we are going to DIY
TBH looks easy actually.
Just want to check, these are the correct bits we need?
Equal push fit coupler

and we need 15mm flexible plastic pipe
would this be it?

ahh ok. I did not know this.. thanks..
is this just to give the pipe some rigidity when the connecter is tightened?
would this do?
