We had to close the Lighthouse for about 2 hours over lunch today. The white plastic outflow pipe from the boiler had frozen, and the said boiler was therefore making a rather alarming vibrating noise. The outflow pipe was apparently smaller than the recommended diameter and should have been insulated, so we'll have to try and sort that out to avoid a future problem. An expensive breakdown both in terms of a call out charge and the loss of income, but I suppose another experience to learn from. We have left the heating on constant throughout the church building for over 2 weeks now, to avoid the risk of a burst pipe. The temperature has been well below freezing all day, and there is no sign of it improving over the next few days.
