Feeding etc. has already been mentioned. I'd be tempted to sow some seed
on the more sparse areas. It's rather late really, but if we have
another mild winter who knows, it might germinate. If not you can always
do it again (or as well) in the spring

Probably worth scarifying with a lawn rake first.


Thanks everyone. It sounds like the timing is wrong to do anything to do
anything this side of spring, so there's not much that can be done until
then (given it might mean having to do it all again if the winter is harsh)
so sounds like we want to pause for the moment...

As I said look as the Lawnsmith's site, he is closed down for a couple
of months from December, but of course his site remains open.
