I’ve inherited a Pyracantha which has grown to 4ft (1m20cms) high. It appears to have grown in height but not in width as it is tall and spindly. How can I get it to bush out to cover an unsightly wall please?

I don't know that you can.
Why not try good old Google?

Cut the top of it and it will branch out, you might have to tie some of the side branches to encourage them in the direction you want. I have three in my garden and they have all had same treatment. One is kept about 4 foot wide, the others about 3.
