    Turning the water off will not prevent freezing unless you completely drain all heating and water pipes!!

    The pilot will stay alight but this will not prevent freezing either!

    The best thing would be to just turn the boilerstat and room stats down to a minimum with the heating left on 24 hrs so that the property maintains a minimum temperature throughout!!!

    OK you will use gas but which is more expensive, that or the cost of a frozen pipe which will burst and when defrosted and cause major water damage???
