So yesterdays post was about my pipes being frozen and resulting in no water for more than 24 hours. It came back on its own at 3pm.
I’m scared for this to happen again. Do you think we should leave one of the taps running ever so slightly so water is flowing?
We have covered the garden tap with a towel. The stop tap is in the kitchen in a cupboard is it worth covering that too?
Also upstairs bathroom taps are working and downstairs toilet and sink. Outside tap is fine too.
Laundry and kitchen sink isn’t? Do you think it’s still frozen somewhere along the line or another issue?

sorted bythey said turn on all your taps at the same time, for 2 minutes, if I remember correctly..
I assume it was legit
You could lag them search pipe lagging on google plenty of shops sell it by the length as for your outdoor tap that should be isolated from the inside assuming you’ve got an isolation valve fitted
In our kitchen we don’t have a radiator just a small one under the cupboard but I don’t switch on
Also if outside tap OK, it could be a different problem?
Kitchen tap water came on eventually today. It is the back of the house and I think it’s an extension. So maybe took longer to reach. Who knows?! Proper nightmare and makes me really appreciate running water
