Yep, I'm wrong. It is Viburnum...Eve Price from your description of flowers and berries. Still say hack it. They rejuvenate really well. Then feed it up, be nice to it and zap whats left of the scale.
Just read up on Eve Price and it certainly sounds as if that could well be the one. Can't face scraping them off they are revolting so I think I'll get the other half to lop it off about 18 inches down which will get rid of the majority of them and try spraying the remaining ones.

Thanks everyone for your help.
