Will these isolation valves be ok like this for a few weeks?

[Mark Huddleston]

I’ve removed the sink from downstairs cloakroom as we are getting new flooring and a new vanity unit and sink installed over the next few weeks. I’m now thinking maybe these isolation valves may not be ok left like this?? If they were going to leak it fail in some way surely they would have by now??

They'll be fine, unless Jeremy Beadle turns up with a screwdriver and opens them.

Not that pesky Beadle!! I hope he’s not about!

I would use compression cap ends and use the existing nut and olives on the top

Would you do this just to cover the pipes or use this to actually cap the pipe off instead of turning the isolation valves? I was looking at these and using them with the existing olive and not exactly like you said.
