Re Plumbing A House

Hi I need to replumb my house as all the plumbing at the minute is surface. I was wondering can I run the pipes for the radiators through the attic and then chase down the wall to save me having to burst up all the floors?

The shortest run is usually the best option.
Even with the pipes fully lagged you'll find that you are heating enough water to heat a small radiator with the longer run.

No. That would be a recipe for constant air locks. You'll have massive heat loss also.
Don't do it.
