Single glazing is your problem. However, having the boiler on low is probably a bad idea as it's burning gas but not really heating radiators enough to have any effect. It's probably running on low 24/7. Run it at it's highest temperature, get some heat in the radiators and then the thermostat will actually get to the point of switching the boiler off. It'll then run for short bursts at full heat output to maintain the temperature.
Yes, as it is now it's on constantly

Update! I took my metre index this morning and turned the boiler off! Then looked at the metre index now, with the boiler still off and it's gone up by 1 unit!
