Sounds like you need to manage your heat a little better. Does the property have galleried rooms? Hallway with tall windows is a good example, shut the doors to that room and don’t heat it. Our hall is a massive heat loss area, four windows 18 inches wide and 10 foot tall, north facing, a loser trying to heat that but the trouble is that a loo is on the same underfloor loop and Mrs tells me it’s a bit chilly.
Turn the thermostat valves down on rooms you don’t use too much and shut the doors, not off but down a little. If youve got a wood burner and free wood then stoke it up and control the heat with doors. We warm the downstairs up (no UFH will come on) and then open the door to the hallway and the heat goes upstairs. You can really feel the air circulation when you do as your feet get cold, and electric cigarette is handy to watch the airflow rich around the house.
Are any rooms slightly lower than the rest? They’ll be cold UFH or not as the cold air will always settle down there. Shut doors as best you can and manage it.
