So could have used 1500 litres.

the op was concerned abut using 1000 litres, looks like it's working correctly.

Its always the same with a new boiler. I go to price up a new boiler and somebodys been in before saying they will save over 20% on fuel. Oh no you wont.

The underfloor heating I believe tends to have the boiler running on & off for a very long time as it builds the heat up. It is never cheap.
The boiler heating rads shouldn't be firing 6 out of 8 hours on, unless it is very undersized. First hour is the long burn time, but that would normally be maybe half an hour overall in average weather & the next hour much less, until only a few minutes each hour if heating kept on.

That's especially true with oil as even the old ones are fairly efficient.
