Hi all, just joined the forum.
I am not a plumber but a handyman in my spare time for local customers for various jobs within my skillbase.
I have a job to do that requires some water pipes to be re-insulated. in the photo attached, it shows the pipes circled red to be done. Simple job i think but struggling to find the correct material to use as the wool insulation.
I thought i could find a wrap around wool that then gets taped like the existing but cannot find anything like that in the UK.
Can someone point me in the right direction, the trade name for such a product and possible suppliers. I could be going down the wrong path on this looking for a wrap-around product.
Could it be all fabricated pipe insulation that has been shaped and cut to fit?
could anyone advise please

Arms flex panel insulation
 
Yes it’s stick back so peal and stick
 
Another product - Cork Tape ( Tar Cork Tape )

Wrap it around loosely and when done just squeeze it together to make it tight.
You can just keep adding layers to make it thicker.
