Yet another frozen pipe saga!!!!

Hi here My pipes were frozen but the mains and the pipe into the attic tank have since thawed. Had a leak in outside boiler when heating was turned back on but have repaired this and heating seems ok (although a lot of water would have escaped from boiler). All rads are warm and there is no noises or anything. My problem…

Hi here

My pipes were frozen but the mains and the pipe into the attic tank have since thawed. Had a leak in outside boiler when heating was turned back on but have repaired this and heating seems ok (although a lot of water would have escaped from boiler). All rads are warm and there is no noises or anything. My problem is that i seem to have another frozen pipe somewhere as the cylinder is stone cold and no water coming to hot taps.
1 Am i ok to leave heating on since water escaped from boiler
2 What can i do about frozen pipe, have light on in attic, heater up there as well (safely positioned) and trap door left open to allow heat rise into attic

Thanks:D
