Reduce the risk of freezing
Insulate vulnerable exposed pipes, keep the property adequately heated and identify the main stop tap before cold weather arrives.
Signs a pipe may be frozen
Little or no water at a tap during freezing conditions can be a warning sign, although other faults can cause similar symptoms.
Avoid unsafe thawing
Never use a naked flame or excessive heat on pipework. If you suspect a frozen pipe, seek professional advice on safe next steps.
If a pipe bursts
Turn off the main water supply where safe, avoid electrical hazards and contact a plumber.
