I think I need a little help here. In N Ireland its currently in double - figures and even with the heating being on almost constantly, the hot tap in the kitchen appears to be frozen. every other tap works ok. I cant find where the frozen pipe is as all the pipes are lagged and the only part I have access to is directly under the sink.
The advice I can see online tells me to turn off the stopcock and heating, find where in the pipe is frozen and thaw it out.
If I turn off the stopcock and heating, then surely I run the risk of the rest of the pipes freezing?
I have spent over half an hour tonight with the hairdryier on the pipes under the sink with no luck and there is no way for me to access the rest of that pipe.
Any advice would be greatly apprieciated.
