presently sat in the conservatory near the window temp in there varies from 12 to 18 deg at the mo

the compost is moist but not what id call wet

any ideas ? these boys are my family and intend to invite them to tea one night !

May be a bit overpotted, they really don't like their roots being wet

Yes I agree on the watering issue, peppers seem to prefer quite dry compost, far drier than tomatoes for example. They also dislike cool conditions, from what you say about temperature, it could be closer to 12 deg than 18...
The impossible is just a journey away ...
