The UUIDs on the new disk will be different and will need to be changed.
I just thought that this might be a common maintenance problem and someone might have just made a script for it or something....

I disagree. The UUID identifies the partition and it is stored with the partition it identifies. dding the disk across will not cause problems in that regard.
I hope your right -I'd read that the UUID also contains data such as partition size and that (as I will be using different sized partitions) then I'd have to tidy up with gparted or similar and then the UUIDs would be changed
