We do have central heating in the loft. The bedroom without the hatch doors easily heats up to and maintains 20 degrees. The study has the hatch doors and struggles to get to 16 degrees when the central heating is on and down to a couple of degrees above the outside temp when its not, which is...

I've done exactly that - taped up the gaps for now. Occasionally have to re-tape when the force of the wind pushes the doors open. Still cold but better than before by a long way. I've left an oil filled electric heater set to 15 degrees celcius in the loft room to ensure that it...
