Leave heating on?

[Carlnorwich]

I'm going away for a few days soon, considering the low temperatures (about -5 around here at night) should I leave the heating on? obviuosly I'm thinking the pipes may freeze if switched off.

I'm in a terrace new build (about 5 years old). The water tank is in the loft.

I used to live in a Victorian terrace and would have done there, but with this new house I just thought maybe I don't have to?

The heating comes on for an hour on the morning and evening, should I leave it like this or can I turn it all off?

Set the room stat to 10-15 degrees and leave it on.

For the sake of a few quid in gas do you really want to risk all the upset and upheavel of a burst pipe. As dex says leave it on at 10 degrees

I would also wedge the loft hatch up just a crack to get a small amount of warm air up to keep the tanks from freezing.
