That's a good amount of time. Physically it should take less than an hour from doors open in T3 to getting to T5 departures, so they should be fine. With all the flight reductions the air space is uncluttered and flights are generally keeping well to timetable.
If some thing does go wrong, there is always EDI and I would imagine the staff in T5 will be flexible in the current climate.
