Mains pipe in wall

BS lagging for outdoor pipes is as thick as your arm. Climaflex is a good brand but for outdoor use I think you need Armaflex.

I would be thinking about a plastic trunking to box it in, I only know the stuff sold for Electrical work, which has a removable cap and is rigid UPVC. You can paint it with non-drip gloss to blend or tone with the colour of your wall.
 
Cheers. Haven't tried it as yet, but if I have to, could I get away with thinner lagging for the inside of the pipe (where it will need to sit in the chasing) and thicker on the outside (where I'll box it in - and where I guess it needs to be most protected)?

Its a mixture of vertical and horizontal. Would say its prob not much more than 30mm deep...
 
I'm beginning to think you should reconsider quite how "impossible" it would be to run the pipe inside the house.
