hi is there any fire risk with laying 22mm copper heating pipes in notched joists. Due to the height temperatures they get to?

No, the temp of the pipes will at most be 80-85C, it needs to be a lot hotter to catch fire to wood.

You`ll need to lay a piece of hair felt lagging under the pipes in the notches. It won`t catch fire but it`ll stop the pipes squeaking with thermal movement ;)
