With sensible delivery cost. I need 6m ; but 1 roll does 4.8m around a 110mm pipe - so I'll need to stretch it a bit. Maybe acoustic lag mainly at junctions of pipes?

doesn't give any sort of sound reduction values though.

😎 minor point! - website is (expletive deleted)ed anyway! ; I can't order even if I wanted too. I'll keep looking!

Maybe ?

It is in essence just rockwool ( so no sound spec ) but saves boxing in.....

Give up looking for now !

rockwool is good for sound insulation so this might be a good choice. 25mm thick x 108mm pipe size is £10.82/m exc VAT. I guess it all depends on how thick you want it. our heating engineers used this type of stuff for our ASHP flow and return internally.

Yeah it’s probably the best . Shipping was a flat rate of £15 . 
I went for it in the end . 6m ; 114mm pipe ; 50mm thickness

I’m going to use my phones decibels measuring app at discreet points along the pipe ( mainly where wc enters ) . Get some readings before and after lagging .

I know, lets all do a comparative table: get our respective OHs to perform, send the results to @SteamyTea - who would anonymise the results , work his Excel Magic and then publish them.

Would I (expletive deleted). We all want to know whose missus trumps the loudest, and highest pitch.

Standard rockwool pipe lagging works quite well. 

Upgrade this to a mass loaded vinyl around the lagging
