Thanks for all your help on this by the way!

Glad to see that you got the problem sorted in the end! Yes I would also suggest that the time between clearing the DNS is reduced greatly otherwise this problem will be experienced with any website hostings that are updated in the same way on your work network. Anyway, at the least the mystery was solved in the end!
