unsightly pipework

[scooby_snacks]

Hey guys jus a quick one would appreciate any suggestions.. At the moment I'm doing some plastering in the hallway, have removed the radiators from the wall and wanted to take this opportunity to hide the pipe work.

I've looked at some other posts and wasn't sure how best to go about it..
Other rads on ground floor have pipework dropping from the ceiling which is fixed extrenally with clips. Not liking the whole pipework exposure thing! Preferably i wanted to chase the pipes vertically and then run horizontally behind the skirting, plasterboarding over the top. Hair felt lagging, micro bore, conduits/ducts, pvc tape.. Is it really feasible or will I find condenstion marks or cracking in months to come. Any help appreciated

Tubular haifelt would be ok but messy. Consider changing drop to 10mm plastic eg speedfit, dont put any joints in chase. Not sure about cracks later on though!
