I think it is a Noble False Widow, Steatoda nobilis. They aren’t aggressive and don’t have dangerous venom. Bites are very rare because these spiders really want to avoid us.

Thank you very much for the reply – I thought it didn’t have a shiny enough back but looked like one!! Out the window it goes!
