I bought them both at 1m high. Planted them on south facing house wall Pruned back whippy strands every July And pruned back further to 2 to 3 buds in January as advised. They have grown and leafed abundantly every year The only thing that I may have done incorrectly was last May/June to also cut back some of the really long strands. But have left them this year. Any advice welcome.

My well established wisteria tree was showing no problems and was very vigorous growing, it is a proper tree with the trunk. This year small green fronds has appeared as usual but then stopped in that stated and is staying like this until now (July). The spring new little leaves/fronds are still there, they are not wilting but it is going no further, there were no flowers this year at all.
Do you regularly prune your wisteria? They should be pruned twice a year to keep them healthy and in bounds. This fall you can cut out the dead wood. Check the wood for borer holes. They are the most common cause of wisteria failure. I have attached links for more information on pruning, diseases, and general care that should help:

I have wisteria on my house which didn’t bloom this year (I just bought it last year so not sure if it’s ever bloomed) It might be that the wisteria isn’t old enough but it seems to be pretty established. How should I encourage it to grow around my house? Is it better to leave it low up to the first story or should I encourage it to grow higher? I don’t love the look of my 60s house so I wouldn’t mind it being covered with vines and flowers. Any suggestions on how to make it look nice and encourage flowers?
Wisteria is not a very reliable bloomer, so giving it the proper care and making sure that it get plenty of phosphorus and potassium will ensure that it flowers when it is old enough.
As far as pruning it... This will be up to you. Pruning some of the longest leaders will help the vine to develop more evenly over time, though.
Here is an article that will help you with the care of the plant:
I moved to a new house which had a beautiful climber in the back garden which unfortunately had never been pruned so took over half the garden. I gave it a severe pruning so I could really-see the lawn underneath it and it started to grown new shoots at the tips. I’m now worried that I have killed it though as all the shoots it grows go brown and die. My neighbour says it had beautiful blue flowers in spring but I have no idea what it is. Please can you help, I’m not an expert gardener and I’m really worried I’ve been over-zealous in my pruning and killed it. I’ve included a photo I took when we viewed the house (before I pruned it) in case you can identify what it is.
It is hard to say, but it sounds like, by the description, it could be a Wisteria. It is very likely that there was a pathogen introduced with such a heavy pruning. This is even more likely if the pruners were not sterilized beforehand.
You can try fungicides, but it may recover on its own over time. This article will help you to care for it:
What are these? What do I do with them
Since wisteria is a legume, after they bloom, they produce seed pods. Typically, around late summer or early fall. Remove them using a pair of secateurs but be aware that there may now be 2022 flower buds near the ends of the stems so do not cut the stems back too far. Alternatively,
try your hand at growing your own wisterias from seed: collect the pods and let them dry. The seeds normally explode from the pods so collect the pods (after the leaves fall in autumn) and place them onto a tray to dry. Twist the pods open and plant the seeds nearly 1″ deep in freely draining mix. But note that wisterias grown from seed may not be identical to the parent.
I have kept it watered in the hot weather.
Your vine may have borers or other pests. Here is more:

What are these? What do I do with them
Those are the seed pods. Wisteria can be very invasive so you may want to collect those and put them in the trash.
