Yes ask the garage, In my opinion they need to,
If there is a leak or damaged hose replace it,
Fill the system correctly with coolant,
Run the engine and check the low speed works on the radiator fan,
Check the thermostat opens at the correct temperature.

Or will it stop once the hoses are replaced to stop the leak?

The low speed can be tested by pressing the demist button when the car is first started.
