plastic pipe! cheaper, faster, less joints,

I would still insulate under the floor (ground floor only) even if the plastic pipe expands where there are joints there are weak points if you open a T or any other joint there is a rubber seal, a grab ring a palstic sleave all of them expand at different rates why take the risk just to save around £10.
