Sorry if asked before, i tried the search and didnt find the answer. I will be doing a bathroom extension next year. Demolishing old bathroom extension and starting again. All previous pipework will be capped off at junction of existing house until i build the new one.
In most peoples opinion, will i be best going for soldered joints, compression joints or even plastic speedfit type. There will be 1x rad, bath, sink, toilet and shower( ran from combi boiler).
Thanks.

Nothing wrong with any when done properly.

It's probably likely that access to get it soldered might be an issue?
 
I suppose it depends if you’re concealing the pipework, If you are, then probably not best using compression.

Thanks Swwils and CBW. I have done soldered and compression before, but didnt know if times have changed peoples opinions a little.
Beam and block floor and stud walls that i can access from outside for sink, shower and toilet.
Materials cost would be a factor, example, one may have more expensive parts but not as many, or maybe a different way needs a lot more parts but they are cheaper.
