Is it ok to put attic insulation rolls over pipes?

I am putting insulation into my attic, i know i shouldn't roll it out over any electrical wires or down lights, but there are some water and central heating pipes that the the insulation won't fit under. The insulation is 150mm and is enclosed in a a plastic type fabric, orange underneath and silver on the top and sides.

yes thats fine will help stop them freezing dont put any under your water tank but you can put insulation around it and if it has a lid on top kingspan/xtherm is handy for doing the tank you need 300mm of fiber glass to meet the regs
