Last winter, I experienced creaking noises from the pipes in my loft. It was when the weather was particularly cold. Is this doing any damage? If so, can I make any preventive moves? Also - should my heating be left on or off or on timer- if so what time should I put it on to keep the risk of freezing pipes without my heating bill going through the roof? Also Is there anything I can use to strengthen the joints to handle the expanding? In other words - any general info on this sort of thing that I can consider in the next few months before the next cold period.
 
Are the pipes copper or plastic?

What are they supplying?

How long are the pipe runs?

Are the pipes clipped? If so, how often (distance-wise)?

Are they lagged? If so, with what thickness?
