Am now having doubts about it being evergreen but there are definitely
no thorns, and definitely no scent. The flowers have dropped off and I
can't see any fruit buds. However, the googlepics for Chaenomeles are
very very much like my shrub. Sorry for the poor quality pic - had to
take them on my phone because the card reader for my camera is
knacked.

Whatever it is, it's a pretty shrub. How about Chaenomeles "O Yashima"?
That's described as a taller growing, double white one with fairly large
showy flowers and there may be other similar varieties. Here's one
nursery link, albeit in US, with a pic of the flower:
