apply some common sense and keep any joints out of the walls and as accessible as possible.
Sounds sensible.
Is the plumbing just for heating?
I pretty much only bury soldered joints - I like to only use compression joints where they’re accessible- I avoid plastic mostly but for fishing through existing structures it is bloody handy.

Yep just bringing the heating into the loft in a less convoluted manner. Can see straight down the stud wall so hoping it's just a case of dropping a length down there, popping a bend and joint ok the bottom and then hooking that up to existing pipes in the room but we'll see how that plays out over the bank holiday weekend.

Plastics better for burying than copper if in screed unless it’s gas.
I don’t get the big thing about plastic being this shit. As long as you use the right materials it’s fine although I do prefer soldering as it looks neater on show.

I have been reading a lot about electrics to figure out what can be done about with our loft conversion reassembly. Figured same with pipes but I guess I'll just try and apply some common sense and keep any joints out of the walls and as accessible as possible.
