You should also consider lagging the pipes in your loft as the can freeze when deprived of the heat from your house. To achieve compliance to Water Bylaw 49 (frost protection) and Part L Building Regulations (energy conservation) you would need to have 25mm of insulation on 15mm,22mm and 28mm pipes.
