    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    a chill coming from behind the TV where there is a built in cupboard which houses my electricity meter and fusebox – I opened the cupboard door and a blast of cold air came out, I then noticed that the outside wall in the cupboard is completely bare brick.

    This may be part of the problem
    .Maybe try insulating the walls of the cupboard and/or the inside of the door?
  • How about replacing your open fire with a high efficiency gas fire? The glass fronted convectors are up to 89% efficient with up to 4kW heat output and there are some lovely designs to choose from. Not cheap but far cleaner, easier and no gaping hole for the wind to blow down.

    Hope
