Silly clarification follow up question. I have some left over UFH pipe. Can that be used to run hot and cold water or is it different pipes.

All my searches seems to result in UFH heating pipe


 

What does the manufacturer data sheet say?

good starting point

yes as long as you want to buy adapters for all your pipe work as it will be 16mm pipe (usually) so none of your Hep2O type fittings work.

They all seem to claim it is OK, which seems mad to me considering UFH pipe is supposed to emit heat, and as @PeterW points out it's 16mm not 15mm

So I guess I need to be more specific in my searches - .g "Hep20 15mm water pipe" or "Speedfit 15mm water pipe". Any other manufacturer or brand I should search for?

Hep2O is universally available as “barrier pipe” which is what it essentially is. There are plenty of other manufacturers out there, some cheaper but I tend to stick at single manufacturer across the lot in case of any warranty issues.
