Hey. how would most people pipe up a wall hung basin like the one in the diagram. Go straight up were the taps are. Or run the pipes up the middle of the basin and offset to the taps? Would be piped up in copper no flexis

Are you talking about a basin without a pedestal, presumably?
With mine, the ceramic lower piece that covers the bottle trap goes flush to the wall so for me it was chase a deep groove in the wall, run the pipes in there, then tile over the groove.

It aint goint to be too pretty but I'd run both pipes parallel up to the centre of the basin, and then branch out where the bends couldn't be seen.
You'll have to dodge the drain though as thats central too!

Its only my opinion really - things that are central could look ok, but offset could catch the eye.
I'd pipe up to the waste, then dive off left and right around it. Flexi's could help here.
If the basin is tight in a corner, I guess you could come up the wall then go off horizontally - the more the pipes are hidden, the better really.
Is the waste covered by ceramic that usually clips onto the bottom of the basin?

I would take the pipes along the skirting, as you say they are now, and then turn them up, along the centre line of the basin as high as possible until the waste gets in the way. Then, take the hot to the left and the cold to the right, keeping the pipes as covered as much as possible.
