That's very unideal, did you claim there PL to get it fixed?
The price of the crimper and fittings is eye watering.

there was at least a couple of buckets of water down the hallway but the carpet and underlay helped soak it up, rang the plumber and he came and redid the joint.
Expected a knock on the door from downstairs neighbour but it seems the screed had kept the water in the flat, carpet was fucked but it was going a week later.
Have this week boxed in all the radiator pipework in new flat but plumber fitted a single pipe to the tails so we could run the system to test for leaks and also take the chill off while i was working there in Jan/Feb, Will be gutted if i have to start hacking into the fresh plaster if it leaks.

"and it will mean when the joints inevitably fail "
those push fit things give me the fear (if encased) just had the pipework done in new bathroom using those new fangled crimp connectors, didn't realise they were a thing but the plumber does on call work for hotels and they do not allow naked flames on site so had all the crimp tools to do it that way.
Did have a solder joint fail on an unvented cylinder the day after install which flooded my hallway a few days before a new engineered floor went down so no joint is 100% secure...
