To be precise BBC Engineering has reported - From 2:55pm to 11:25pm on 7th Dec 2019 Off the air due to a fault.
If you did happen to retune whilst you had no signal, it will have cleared memory of your correct tuning and you will need to retune again now (when) the signal is back.

That's rather a long time to leave it before querying your lack of reception!
What symptoms did you have - No signal or just badly pixelated pictures?
Have you checked that your aerial is still pointing correctly?
Which way is your aerial pointing (rough compass bearing)?
Are the Rods (or squashed Xs) vertical or horizontal?
There are 3 transmitters that you might receive in parts of your area.
As per the post before yours, this transmitter is subject to Planned Engineering but would not be off-air for any extended period.
Do NOT retune whilst you have weak or no signal or badly pixelated pictures. The usual result is to just clear you correct tuning.
IF you did retune, the you may well have to retune again (& repeat it) until you have all your channels restored. Manual tuning to your transmitters UHF channels would be best rather than auto-retune as you might get tuned to weak signals from another transmitter that could be unreliable and disappear.
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't advise which UHF channels may be best.
As you haven't given a full postcode we can't check your predicted reception or whether you could be vulnerable to interference from new/upgraded phone masts using 700MHz.
Very strong local interference, possibly from a new/upgraded phone mast now operating in the 700MHz band will disrupt your reception.
Have you received a postcard from Restore TV?
See https://restoretv.uk/post…ure/
If you can see a new/upgraded mast near you, then contacting Restore TV for a Free Filter would be a good idea.
