No, to comply with the water regs you need to stop the cold pipe becoming warm, but also when it gets boxed in with heated water pipes it will probably give off alot of condensation causing damp inside the boxing, or worse get you a call back for a leak.
Dhw water pipe should also be lagged to prevent heat loss

Out of interest Kyle, was this your job, or where you working alongside the GS plumber for the experience. The onus being on him to make sure the job was completed to a satisfactory standard as he was being paid by the customer.

Good on you buddy, real learning experience. How did you get to know the GS man, friend or ring round. Good to see him helping you get experience.

It's all about who you know in this world.
Make as many acquaintances as possible. Someone knows someone who knows someone who you need!!
I used to work with his wife when I worked in a shop. When I started to study plumbing he took me under his wing.
Although I don't directly work for him we come to agreements with eachother.
He will throw me a few quid for doing jobs with him and ill throw him a few quid when someone rings me and wants a gas job doing. Main thing is that I'm filling my portfolio with gas work and learning as much as i can and earning a couple of quid along the way is bonus

Thanks for that advice youngster, lol, I was in catering in a previous life and met more people than you've had hot dinners, as they say it isn't what you know but who you know and what you can get them to divulge then storing it for later use.
