A few things more DIY related are insulating hot water pipes (the main pipe coming from our hot water tank is in a loft and had no lagging, so we were losing tons of heat to a cold loft) and top up loft insulation if it's not at the recommended thickness (the first 10cm are the most important but another 20cm on top reduces heat loss again by two thirds and reduces thermal bridging by covering the joists).
