Thanks everyone for all your help.

I will replace the cassette and chain.
Quick question: can I make the bike go faster with certain types of replacements for these two parts?
You can make the bike go faster only by applying more effort
Would 34 teeth make it quicker, or even the quality of the cassette?
No

Slightly off-topic, but I want to get rid of the rubbing on the front derailleur, which seems to be one thing no tech (had four since I bought it) has been able to crack. Three Halfords ones and the jabberwocky independent tech who bust my gears recently.
No matter what, the chain always rubs the front derailleur when the gears are in their most resistant position (the highest on both sides). Would 34 teeth solve this?
No
As I said no one can crack this.
Follow instructions here would be my suggestion
