Has it been outside?

Looks like frost damage or cold damage?

You get leaf roll it temperatures differ dramatically

No, not been outside, have been sat on a south facing windowsill since mid feb, but there is a radiator under the window(why do people do that?) Oh, apologies, they went outside in the day a couple of times, under a big propagator lid, not been back out though

It looks a bit purple as well which suggests cold damage, or could be phosphorous deficiency if they've been over-watered.

Give them a little pinch of Blood Fish & Bone to see if they green up. If it's cold damage they may not recover

Could be a little bit of sunburn if in south facing window, but I doubt its been hot enough.
