If the thing
bursts, and they can really make a mess as they are at high pressure,
unlike a heat bank, the insurance company will not pay out.

Do you have any proof for that assertion?

My Direct Line policy states:

We will pay for loss of or damage to the Buildings [and/or] Contents while
in your
Home caused by:
[...]
8 Escape of water or oil from any fixed water or heating installation
or from any domestic appliance

If the regs say an appliance must be installed by an approved fitter, NO
insurance company will pay out if it goes wrong. The insurance company
naturally assumes all is installed correctly by approved people. If not
naturally they will not fork out. They will also want proof of an annual
service too.
