As the title says, my house loses heat at a stupidly fast rate, we can have the heating on and the house warm but as soon as the heating goes off the temperature just decreases quite rapidly. It mainly affects downstairs, my kitchen and hall in particular never heat up.
This is my 5th winter in the house and I can't take it any more, I've 2 young kids and this is non use. Is there a good way of identifying where the issue is coming from and then fixing?
I've looked for draughts, only place I ever feel any is in kitchen at floor level, it's either coming from external wall or from pipe chase that runs to my loft but I'm not sure this would fully explain the scope of the problem.
At my wits end a bit with this, I've never known a house as cold as this. It's a mid 70s ex council house, standard construction with cavity walls
