I'm considering insulating the water pipes in the loft, so checked a few videos and articles as you do.

The advice from B and Q was what I was considering...

I then came acros this video.

He's saying something interesting, you should never put insulation between the water pipes and the heated surface. He suggests that all around foam lagging, actually can prevent heat from the home reaching the pipes. Instead, he simply build a tent from the loft insulation and places that over the pipes. That seems to make sense.

Thoughts?
 
Sure. If you have space to bring the pipes into the heated envelope of the house by moving the envelope, go for it
