You can get advice from a retrofit coordinator. They should give advice according to a framework for energy retrofit (PAS2035) rather than try and sell you something. They can also act as project coordinator for a retrofit project but I don't know if it's worth it. If you're in southeast london, SELCE do a scheme where you can get 1h free advice and a cheap thermal survey. I haven't done it but I'm intending to.

Are there businesses at the residential end of the scale that can do a detailed energy survey (more than just someone who tells you to get energy saving lightbulbs) and advise different solutions with different costs and savings, etc? Ideally someone independent rather than someone who wants to flog their solution.
I had my central heating on for 5 hours, full blast, last night and that increased the temperature in the house by about 3.5 degrees (up to 17.5) and by the morning had dropped back down to about 12. Ideally I'd like to know whether this is due to poor insulation, poor heating, dodgy windows, etc. and how to rectify.
