You could try putting put a compressor on it but even that is not guaranteed. Usually quicker and easier re pipeing it if you can.

If it's old 10mm pipe it could be single barrier & it'll block up again, replace it if you can.

your right,but the length of the runs are terrible,not going to be easy,skirts of, behind walls etc.

Is there a chance that the pipes are kinked behind the rads where they exit the wall?
sometimes when the pipes come up the way behind the rads and are then brought through the wall and then routed back down to the valves they can become kinked especially when a bit of heat reaches them and they become soft.

Sounds like surgery is required, cut out the badness and replace.
