It's no good - I'm going to admit defeat and ask for an explanation, as I can't see how you end up with a ceiling void on each side of a lintel above an opening in an external wall.....
Drilling holes through lintel

Perhaps void is the wrong term. To avoid running the pipes along the wall or ceiling, I wish to feed the pipes from the boiler in the extension, up into the 'space' above the ceiling plasterboard then through the lintels into the 'space' above the existing ceiling, and from there up into the airing cupboard above.
I think I can visualise that.
Is it not possible to reroute the pipes with swept beds/elbows so that they pass though the wall rather then the lintel?

Good idea, I'll have another look at the plan to see if that is feasible. I think it will depend on the total height of the lintels plus the tray above which bridges the cavity.
