can i also say thanks for this brilliant site too.
we have tried everything all day, hot water, wheat bags, etc, worried about cutting pipes, just sawed the external pipe and got to the condensate pipe and heated it with a hairdrier it worked, thanks could not afford a repair man, we too now have heat.

as long as it's outside it's perfectly safe to cut it, try to cut it as close to where it sticks out of the wall as possible, leaving a couple of inches so it can be glued back together easily. that's what i've been doing for the last couple of weeks as a temporary fix for customers until the temperature rises again. just be careful leaning out of the window.
