Hi
We recently had a burst pipe in the loft - on the mains feed into the water tank. Copper piping. Damaged bedroom and living room ceilings and some flooring.
We got a plumber out to repair the damaged pipe and he has put a plastic push-fit connector in place to join a new piece of piping to the existing pipework.
Assuming this has been fitted correctly (I have no reason so far to think otherwise) can we leave this as a permanent fix or should we be looking at replacing this ? Although I'm not sure what with ? Is this more/less/same vulnerable to temperature changes than other joints in the loft pipework ?
I am now completely paranoid about further leaks/bursts, especially up in the loft where it's possibly going to cause most damage.
Thanks
