Smart TRV’s and keep it at a temp to stop it feeling chilly and timed for when they are using the room. will probably see savings overall dependent on how the rest of the heating is set up.
costs to set up but heating with electricity is more expensive in the long run. -
I have a similar issue and thought about smart TRVs and stuff but it is a very hefty outlay that will take a long time to pay off if you've got a decent number of radiators (and they're pretty ugly).
I ended up just getting a cheap fan heater (£20 or so from Argos). When I'm working during the day with no heating on at all it brings a room up to temperature very quickly (probably costs 30-50p depending how cold it is, etc) and then maybe 10-15p an hour to maintain that. Cheaper/quicker if it is just topping up the heating.

What's the best solution here?
I have one room, eldest's bedroom that gets NO sun all day long. It's colder than all the other rooms, there's a built in cupboard that's cold too.
It's bare floor with a rug, curtain, double glazed, and a blackout blind.
Do I chuck the heating on, if I fuck around with all the valves to only keep this rad on the house will get out of wack (crazy piping in this place) or do I buy a plug in heater/oil rad and put it on for a bit to keep the chill off?
It's not quite cold enough for the heating on all day long.
