Yep that's right

It's currently -3 outside, don't think it's been above 1 all day. We had part of a kitchen wall taken down and the ceiling vaulted but there was no work done on the plumbing and that job finished a few weeks ago.

It's the two that go off to the far corner, looks like they connect to some kind of flex pipe and then go behind the plasterboard in the kitchen. If I can get up there I should be able to apply some heat to them.

Thanks Andy. I've had the heating on all day and turned off the mains so will check this afternoon. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to get any warmer outside for a few days!

I've woken up this morning to a kitchen hot tap that is not running any water. Cold tap is fine, 2 other hot taps in bathrooms are fine, central heating is fine and boiler pressure is fine and doesn't show any warnings. My first thought (considering the weather) was a frozen pipe, but if the...
