No access to pipes elsewhere? If not, you may just have to renew the existing one.
No, the only pipes are the ones showing in the original photo. So exactly what is it I need to replace then?

Not sure which side the check valve is, but you will need what you posted earlier or this: https://www.dhsspares.co.uk/product/ideal-176671-filling-loop-1781034
Do the pipes go straight through the wall? perhaps you can access them from the other side
The other side is an external wall, so I don't think I can get to them.
Thank you. The part that I think is blocked looks like the part in this pack (https://www.heatingspareparts.com/boiler-spares/partno/177477/379247). It's this equivalent part that has a 'white valve' inside it, which I would guess is the non-return valve.

It’s not visible there, so look in the cupboard underneath, above the boiler and check the airing cupboard

So your 2 valves have blanking caps fitted (which is correct). You need to find your loop (braided hose), remove the blanking caps, open the valves to correct pressure, turn off valves, remove the loop and refit the caps.
