Add on for plumbing

When we first went about getting the system filled with water so we could get the rads going there were a few unfortunate leaks the first one was fairly big resulting in water coming down through several of the ceilings letting them stained looked like the damage was done to the qualpex pipe between the floors by a drill bit, there was also a second one of these the following week when we filled the cold water system. We were lucky enough that the two leaks were accessible from the attic, if they had been under the floor we would have been in right trouble. Down stairs last week, there was a leak under the bathroom floor, it meant we had to take up three tiles, turns out there was a screw in the pipe, and the front bedroom ensuite pipe was leaking for the hot supply it would have meant far too much disruption and uprooting to find this leak so we had to blank it off, resulting in that room never will have hot water in the sink, our poor guests!!!
