A straight answer, not a list of possibilities
Most heating advice online hedges everything. These guides are written to tell you what is most likely wrong — not every conceivable thing that could be.
Written around how UK homes actually work
Older properties, combination boilers, uninsulated floors, draughty sash windows — the advice here is built around the reality of British housing stock.
Honest about how the site works
Some guides contain affiliate links or sponsored content. Where they do, this is clearly labelled. Sponsored content never influences the editorial line — if something is not worth doing, that is what the guide will say.
Fixes you can actually do before calling anyone
A significant number of cold home problems have a simple cause. These guides start with what you can check and try yourself before spending money on a callout.
