^ uh yeah, sorry was trying to be too clever with "uPVC" I meant "whatever new plastic pipes are made of". Not poinltless. Reason being is that we have very high water pressure and very cold mains water. Very cold high pressure water in copper pipes boxed-in, in a warm bathroom with no natural ventillation (in flat with bad ventillation and condensation problems anyway) sweat and and drip and have caused a huge problem with damp and mould that has spread all round the bathroom.

I have lagged as much as I can reach without breaking out the boxed in bits but it's still a real issue. I'll be replacing the copper with plastic.

Interesting that you have very high water pressure- ours is very low, and this morning was particularly low (I suspect the burst water main in Camberwell).
