Hello!
I thought I would at least put in a Hello message before I ask a question - it seems more polite.
I'm an enthusiastic DIYer or probably more accurately rather than "enthusiastic" read "addict".
I suppose I started by helping my Dad with DIY before the term was even invented in the early 1950's and I have not yet stopped. From the first roll of wallpaper in my first flat - and what an introduction using the cheapest, stretchiest paper on a stairs with long, long drop to barn conversion, renovating 12 bedroom hotel in Austria, crappy farm house in France (after idiot English chap owned it - live connected to earth in metal light switch etc.) and now as I near 70 I am taking it easy - 1950's house needing complete going over.

Hello, We’ve recently moved into a fairly old, fairly big detached house (i.e. fairly draughty, but not too bad by any means) with a fairly new well maintained Worcester combi boiler. We weren’t convinced the heating was working right and then got hit with a £610 energy bill for the first 6...
