Do my bills and usage seem high to you?

OP, afew points.
On 18 Jan your gas tariff changed from a NoStanding Charge to one with a standing charge. With your consumption that should not make much difference unless they introduced a massive price increase at the same time, and as Pont said earlier they have estimated that you used more after that change.
Your gas is being billed as an imperial meter, check that that is what you have. It will be marked on the meter, cu ft for imperial, m3 for metric.
For the period 14 dec to 18 march you used 12607 kwh of gas, for the same period I used 7780 kwh, we are home all day so heating on for that time. That could be deemed quite high (depending on your meter check) so have you had excessive usage?
Your electric forms a smallish part of the bill and seems reasonable.0 -
