why would a plumber remove 1.3 m of pipe

[Mr English]

A plumber removed 1.3 m of copper pipe on a straight run(he said there was a leak) and replaced it with 2 No push fit 300mm flexible connectors, when asked why he used this method he would not reply.
Can anyone throw some light on this for me.

I wish I could say I’d seen worse!

I am no plumber but it looked bad to me.

No one has ever done anything right in that bathroom and some guys will take that as a cue to carry on the tradition.
If they're a bottom of the barrel tradesman and / or giving a cut to the agency you can see their point. There's no excuse for a bathroom in a let property not to be done right. Suggest you cut the agency guys loose and hire a proper plumber.

I intend to cut the agency people loose completely
