Do you have a timer?
If so then set the timer for the hours you want the place heated, then fit dumb TRVs to the rads to control the temperature in each room.
Smart TRVs will give you extra control (i.e. turn off heating in a specific room at a specific time) but are expensive.

It’s a place we are moving into. There is a programmable time clock on the (Baxi) boiler. Current place is a flat with a portable wireless thermostat, now my partner is working from home the room stat is the controller for the heating in the office and the trvs in the other rooms are set accordingly.
In a 3 story Victorian property I think we need a system that is at least thought out. Home office in the top floor, kitchen and main living space on the ground floor.Luckily the turbo will be in the basement with no heating.

I run hot and i’m also from the ‘put a jumper on’ school of heating. But with my partner working from home, I realise that having the heating on from 7-8 and 5:30-10 is not a practical solution.

To follow up on the heating chat. If I have a combi boiler with no room stat. What’s the best way to have decent control over heating. Three floors, all used. We don’t need particularly smart stuff, but not heating a whole house unnecessarily would be nice.
