I updated a theme that was in use on my client’s website, and now the original default header has appeared and displays the name of the page on all pages. This is looking scruffy and interferes with the overall layout of the site and I would like to remove it.

I don’t think that your problem is in the header.php file. If it is the entry title that you are wanting to hide you could find where it is being printed in the other PHP files and remove that line of code.
Or, you could simply use a display:none on the entry title class in the styles.css.
Example:
h1 .entry-title {
display:none;
}
In the place of get_header(); function you can call your custom header file.
that will remove default header and added your header just like if you create your new header file named custom-header.php
then call it like
