Having that temperature constant is perfect and you'll get low bills. I continue to see that with 15/16 on the thermostat. The gas man took temperatures in each room then set the boiler accordingly. I have since increased the boiler temperature to 60 for the winter but with the thermostat at 15.5 I still see temperatures of around 40.
Do you have double radiators? They are beasts.

Single radiators here, but they all now have TRVs on since the boiler replacement, I also had my small bedroom radiator fixed and the 2nd radiator behind my living room computer desk recommissioned as I had kept that switched off for 25 years, so the house should technically be far easier to heat and keep warm, hopefully using less boiler gas time.
I never leave my heating on 24/7 and it's never on during the night, it goes off at 10pm, that seems like a waste of gas when there is no one home, but if someone is a night owl they would likely need the heating on still but I really don't see the point when I'm in bed. Heating gets turned back on remotely before I return home from work etc.
