Hi Terence .......... that's fine .. your only problem is going to be cracking when the pipework gets hot. A fairly deep conduit (duct) would be better - but not practical for a brick wall ( unless it's thick enough to take a deep channel).
Surface mounting and boxing around them would be better than burying them.

I would also prefer to see them surface mounted - then you know exactly where they are. Don't you have to put a steel plate in front of them these days though ? If it's not too late, maybe that would be a good solution Terence... then you know that if someone tries to drill a hole into the wall, they won't burst the central heating pipes...
