Frozen Pipes - No water from Mains - Central Heating

Qbom · 2009-12-22 11:57:16

Hi, Can anyone help me please ? Is it OK to continue to run oil central heating when the main water supply to the house has frozen ? We have ten people arriving tomorrow for Christmas - its going to be cold without the heating ! Thanks for any info.....

Hi, I arrived home on xmas day to find I had no water in the cold tap in the kitchen sink, other homes have. I assume mine is gone as the mains are frozen?!? Water everywhere else seems to be fine. Does this mean the mains into the tank are frozen too? I still have no cold water in the kitchen sink even though a thaw is on! I'm set to go away for afew days and was wondering whats best to do, knock off the water from the garden will this be enough to prevent a burst pipe so I can relax whilst gone and worry about it when I get back or whats my options?
