I found thermawrap which I away to buy I thought very least pop that on with a few wraps and quick spray on the drilled hole that pops it down my wall to seal the void air away from it.

Luckily the wash was fine 5 minutes of hair dryer on the exposed pipe in loft fixed whole thing so I am pretty sure it isolated to this very small part that exposed to cold air coming in. Just not sure if expanding foam sensible thing to use or if it damage pipe
