Hi guys, is there anything i can do to make it warmer on one side of house. Not sure if it's the right forum, so apologies if not.

It has cavity wall insulation. I have put a bigger radiator on the stairs & when we get toilet done, a radiator will be installed. Also we will put in a bigger rad in bathroom when that gets done.

No room in hallway to put a rad, it's pretty Baltic there. Including toilet & 2 large cupboards, all these have outside or back onto a concrete shed wall.

Can i insulate cupboards internally or is there something else i can do?

Cheers for any replies

Not very good drawing, hopefully it's what's required. IMG_20221215_195322.jpg
 
Have you had a go at balancing the Radiators as a first step. The idea is to have an even temperature drop from in feed to out feed, usually 5-15 degrees between them. If one or two rads are wide open, they will have almost no temperature drop, so the boiler return will be hot water, so it wont add a lot of heat and whole house stays cold. Once you have them balanced better you can address and look at thermal upgrades that wont break the bank.
