  I've just listened to recordings of coal tits on Merlin and they don't sound like what you describe. But chaffinch calls certainly do!

  A robin? We have a resident robins who makes the most incredible sounds, single and loud.

  Starlings sometimes do a single sort of whistle/cheep.

  Chiffchaffs too - as well as their more recognisable "chiff-chaff" song (which they don't sing at this time of year) they have a single, loud contact call.

  Greenfinch? They do a cheep often quite wheezy.

  I've heard something else warbly, rumbly wheezy. There's a lot going on out there. The birds must've decided spring is near or here

  Blackbirds' alarm 'cheep' is very loud and can be quite monotonous. We used to have one nesting in the hedge that would go into 'alarm' mode whenever there was a cat in the garden. It could keep it up for hours

  Great Spotted Woodpecker is a possibility.

  IME it's usually the female GSW which calls but I wouldn't describe it is a Cheep.  Bit harsher than that - to my ears anyway.
