Thanks, yes I was talking about threaded olive fittings. I had a nightmare with push fit fittings and not 100% straight pipe (plastic pipe bought in a roll) in the past so don't really like using them, plus they are ugly as. Got a few more plumbing jobs to do and expect more to be added to the list as we find out more about the house so would like to do things "properly".

It's not too difficult.

This is a good guide
I would always recommend using a heatproof matt to go between pipe and walls / back of cupboards. It saves potentially very costly fire related boo-boos.
Out of curiosity, when you say compression fitting, are you talking threaded compression olive ones? If so, you could consider push fit pipe fittings, which are the easiest and great for tight spaces.
