We have a cold water storage tank in the loft, which is not properly

(PVC?) not lead. The lid is loose, leaving plenty of space for
expansion. To my mind, freezing would be an inconvenience but no risk
to the integrity of the tank.

However, she also mentioned the inlet and outlet pipes. Could they
freeze and present a risk? Anyone venture an opinion?

Omit insulation underneath the tank, lag tank & pipes. You can always use scrap cloth if you've got nothing else.
