Due to the severe weather conditions across the North West, United Utilities are receiving lots of calls from customers who have no water due to frozen pipes.
A spokesperson for United Utilities said: “If you have no water, your pipes may be frozen and as long as they are not split or damaged you may be able to defrost them yourself. You can use a hairdryer set to warm or a hot water bottle to slowly thaw them.
“If you are unable to defrost them yourself or the pipe has burst, you will need to contact a plumber or check with your insurance provider for help as this is the responsibility of the homeowner.

If you rent your home, you may need to contact your landlord or maintenance team for further help and support.
