Good afternoon I’ve just finished my patio and have laid new turf from my existing lawn to the new patio as you can see, I didn’t factor in that I’m away for a few days! 🙈 it was laid Sunday and I’ve been watering twice daily since then will this survive a few days with no water? Tia.0

remember to wean the new lawn of water, also if you are watering daily you will need to think about some nutrition shortly , a simple grow more will cover the basis for new grass.
It depends how bothered you are about it though. It can become a real chore if you spend a lot of time worrying about it all.
I only feed once or twice at most through the growing season. As long as the grass is fairly green that's fine for me. If you're intent on having a perfect bowling green that might be different. I'd rather spend my time on plants
And if you take a look at the rest of the lawn you will see it is starving, its bright yellow.
And if new turf was laid on this it will be struggling as soon as it takes root.
So Grow more is 7% Nitrogen and at 20 grams a meter will only apply 14kg of Nitrogen per Hectare hardly rocket fuel.
It is not urea based feed at 34 to 46% N.
The OP
As for the new turf give it a week or two and just give it a little feed, the rest of the lawn looks like it needs food, so add some , always apply on the light side you can always add more, but you can not take it off, hence some of the posts on here with burnt turf.
Slowly does it little and often. We called it spoon feeding in the Turf Trade.
