It did turn out to be the head gasket.
I pulled the head off, and while my son ran it over to a local garage who refaced it, I cleaned up the top of the block.
We then decided to regrind the exhaust valves (inlets were ok) then threw it all back together.
Total time taken 5 hours; total cost £40, including the head facing.
Try doing that on a Volvo!
