Hi Ray White
You should also lag the pipes connected to the hot water cylinder for 1 metre from the cylinder or upto that point if less than that and concealed in the wall,as part of energy efficiency.

Don't lag under the storage tank/cistern in the roof space. The rising heat from the rest of the house coming through the ceiling underneath it, is meant to stop it freezing.

But do lag it everywhere else.

Make sure roof space lagging doesn't block the eves ventilation or you might get condensation.

If the sides of the tank sweat with condensation consider fitting a drip tray or making a bund.

Make sure your by-law thirty tank/cistern vent and overflow screen are clear and all lids are tightly on, before lagging.
