We have Bindweed covering most of our garden and plants, it seems
impossible to get rid of, every time we clean it from the garden it is
back (I know to try and remove the roots at the time time but it is so
well entrenched that this is proving very difficult). Is there anyway
to get rid of it or is it a case of clearing the garden completely and
restarting?!

It depends on the size of the garden, of course, but I used a broad-leaf
weedkiller where it was growing in grass, a "no lasting effects" weedkiller
where the plants growing with it didn't matter too much, and then treated
individual cases where it was entangled in things I wanted to keep by
pinching the bind weed off to "one pair of leaves showing" and then I
painted glyphosate gel onto those.

It will recur and you have to be persistent, but my system means that I now
only have a few areas that still need attention from time to time.
