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".
I resoldered my exterior drainpipe and it wasn't that hard with a blowtorch and some cheap flux and solder. I imagine getting heat into smaller gauge tubing would be easier. As with almost all these things, the hard work is in the prep, measuring, cutting, sanding, deburring, cleaning...
