Thanks all

its a phormium all right

I get the idea of dividing it to reduce spread
but it wont solve the height,

Could I strip all the blades off it down to the root ball
and would it grow again?

If you don't want the plant at that height you have only the alternative of
taking it right out. That's the height yours grows to. If you cut the
leaves back you'll end up with tatty leaves that are going brown where they
have been cut.
