What about storage heaters?
Or should i get the copper piping out and add a rad? (Least favourable option).
I know its not an exciting topic but am sure someone will have an idea

What ever you decide to do, sealing all door and window frames to windows and doors will stop the losses through them.
If your conservatory has the usual glass roof then 2'' polystyrene blocks taped to the underside will further insulate (self extinguishing type) and reduce heat losses, also if not double glazed then double glaze the windows also.
Most high energy bills are caused by the heat losses through draughts through gaps, windows and doors; just in case you have not done any of these.
Plus you can remove when its summer again and put in the garage till the next winter Ha Ha if summer ever comes Eh!
Good luck M8
