Renewed my passport about seven years ago after my previous passport was stolen. Took a couple of weeks or so and a similar time to have a copy visa attached. No hassles were experienced.

The British Consulate, in the grounds of the British Council is normally only open in the mornings.

Make sure they don't cancel the page with the visa, when they issue the new passport.

Then go to Immigration with old and new passports, the transfer of visa should take around 20-30 minutes.

If you have a multi-entry visa you will need to carry both passports when travelling,

but the entries will still be valid.
