My gas pressure does seem a bit low - about 19mb which is just on my boilers

am going to service my boiler anyway when the current cold snap is over,
probably over Christmas.

YOu are unlikely to get a sensible reading when not under load. You need
to see what it does when gas is being drawn (even if you just put a gas
ring on rather than the boiler). A twiddle of the room thermostat ought
to do the trick for the boiler mind you.

You also ought to measure the pressure at the boiler as well. That way
you get to take into account the reduction caused by the flow resistance
of the pipework to it. There ought to be a test nipple on/in it somewhere.
