Any tips please??

Try switching off mains water supply, turn on kitchen tap until no water comes out then switch off tap, flush toilet until cistern empty, then turn on mains water supply, rush of water may dislodge blockage.

It may be easier to just unscrew the nozzle to let the debris out. Not sure whether the newer mechanisms are more difficult to disassemble.

My cistern developed the same problem, it just needs a new washer in the fill valve. My new toilet came with a spare washer, it's about a ten minute job to fit it.

All very sensible suggestions but OP cannot get to the cistern, it seems to be built into a wall.

Ah I see the logic of mchale's suggestion now.

My experience of toilet innards is that they do fail. Maybe only once in a decade but blocking one in entirely seems very very short sited - are you 100% certain that there is no access?

Yes. I'd bite the bullet and sort out access to the cistern now. you're bound to need access at some time.
