Plastic pipe is ok IME when used with the correct inserts and compression fittings

Another random water mark on the ceiling... Time to take the house apart again

yeah, I've never had a bad experience with JG push fit stuff - own brand alternatives are a recipe for disaster though.

I’d be changing every fitting you can sensibly get to in that picture or you’ll be back again sooner than you’d like

They're all under the floor in an upstairs bedroom. Presumably they're all over the house. Not a small undertaking!

Neither is fixing ceilings repeatedly

I know you're right I just need time to admit that I should probably tear up all the upstairs floors and replace every joint I can find

All of the fittings are broken on the t piece we've cut out.

Looks like a right load of toss.

By the way - is it not easier to take out ceilings and redo, rather than floors?

I'll ask the Wavin/Osma rep when he rings me back

Comments welcomed...

So it appears the next job is to get quotes for a plumber to replace all the fittings under the boiler upstairs and install a flowwatch switch and Wavin will cover it. The bloke suggested under the boiler will be where the majority of the fittings will be. Looking under my floor I'm not sure I agree.

I will be also be getting a quote to replace all the Wavin fittings, and gunning for that. The chap didn't dismiss them paying for that out of hand thankfully, but let's see what they put in writing.

Going to be quite a lot of agro, but impressed they've owned up and suggested getting their chequebook out already.
