Bit of a catch 22, they say to reserve water if you try not to use taps the pipes have greater chance of freezing,where if you let a tap flow 24/7 then likelihood of pipes freezing is unlikely,(don't mean have tap on full but just enough)advice from people somewhere very cold leave at least one tap flow throughout the day,every 1/2 hour or so.The councils are letting the water pressure drop in some areas. But the first thing I'd suspect at the moment is a frozen pipe.
Thanks for the replies - had to wash hair under taps in basin - haven't done that in a long time!

My Dad also suggested that as I can't access the attic myself I should push open the attic hatch with a brush handle and wedge it slightly open so that heat from the rest of the house would rise into the attic and stop it happening again. Obviously I'll also get a cold draft from the attic, but it's a price worth paying as it's much cheaper than replacing a burst pipe.
