Hiya em, before you have anybody round, make sure your hot water tank is well lagged, curtains are not covering radiators, no furniture in front of rads, and your room thermostat is at about 21, you have a back boiler, which although one of the most reliable machines, is not the most efficient at about 60%, the quote from bb for his combi is a 77% efficient machine (unless new, then it's 90%) and he doesn't store hot water, so the system efficiency (differs from boiler efficiency) is a lot better than yours, in my opinion, you are not a long way off with your gas bills, considering you have that system, and a prepayment metre. Sorry for going off thread.
