How to hide this away

[richardrich79]

The main stopcock for the property is on the pavement outside the neighbors. The pipe appears to be 1/2" copper and emerges just inside the front door where there is a the main earth strap. it then runs 15mm copper around 10m along the skirting held only by a couple of clips with a couple of joints, under the stairs to a stopcock by the boiler.
It's a suspended floor and I'm thinking of running a continuous plastic very well insulated to the boiler/stopcock. The alternative is to stick it behind the skirting building the skirting out a little.
Which would be best?

Insulated below the floor sounds best.

One further question, is it worth my while fitting 22mm instead of the current 15mm mains water in ?.

Yes, while you're at it anyway.
