I'm replacing my kitchen floor and altering some wiring so while I'm under the floor I was considering insulating the heating pipes to reduce heat loss. Only using the cheap grey foam that's about 99p for a metre. Also offers frost protection. Then it dawned on me about the cold water main coming in. Should I insulate that as well to prevent any damage from frost and cold temperatures? It may seem a daft question but the incoming water main is lead. Would this pose any kind of problem or risk if I insulated it? The pipe may go under ground inside the house which if it does I obviously can't insulate it. Thanks for any advice
