Wow, shows what sort of a job a 'pro' can manage. And you don't have any copper either? I guess you don't keep spares or tools at IMM mansions. Must all be down at that commercial unit.
Tip: Don't take it apart and fiddle with all the bits before wrongly re-assembling it next time. Use Equator to avoid the temptation to meddle.
You are right .....when using inferior fittings. Best avoided.
SpeedFit fittings can't be taken apart like Hep ones. But I've gotta say, I've never had any problems with either make.
Yes they can, I have one here in pieces. Though this is one of the "tiwst lock" ones which also seem to hold better.
As a test I tried pulling a pipe out of a locked Speedfit fitting, and they don't come out. Unlike the earlier ones... ;)

That would be difficult. There isn't any above any ceilings.

Don't you have foundations? Or is your house on stilts?
It's used in part of the secondary heating circuit, and in the highly unlikely event that a failure were to occur, approximately 6 - 8 litres of water would escape, being the contents of the expansion vessel. I don't somehow think that that would affect the foundations.
I also read the instructions and used the recommended pipe cutter, curve formers etc.
I don't bodge things or do them on the cheap, you see.

That is nice to know. Pity you know nothing of the design.
There's very little *to* know.
You follow the instructions and it works without problems.

AH HA! catastopic becomes catastropic (again).
