Insurance looking for plumbers report?? Can i write one?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with insurance companies .
    I had a leak in my own house due to a waste pipe pulling out of a shower waste. The shower is in over 20 years i think the pipe pulled out because it was slightly too short and was unsupported over its 2meter length from the shower to the external wall. And with expansion and contraction from hot water and no support i believe it just worked its way out .

    I lengthened the pipe to the correct length and will be installing a few supports when the damaged ceiling is taken down.

    Anyway im in the last year of my plumbing apprenticeship so obviously i just fixed it myself .
    However as the ceiling below needs replaceing the insurance are asking for a plumbers report .
    Can i just type it up myself and sign it ?
    Its not costing the insurance anything extra as they dont pay for plumbing work.

    Its obvious you cannot write your own report... But ask a good friend to do one.... Try change it a little. To allow for expansion which is force majour.

    well its the parents house and the parents insurance ,so i might just write it and see what they say. What exactly are they going to say ? "you should of got someone else even though you are a plumber" ? As far as i can tell from the insurance side its just a case of they need the reason for their own report.
