I don’t fancy paying out to replace my GCSE results if I don’t have to but as they are 10 years old can an employer get them if they wanted to??

Yes they can. I work for a recruitment agency and checking quals is part of my job and I've had to exactly recently so for someone in a similar position to you. He was highly experience but his highest qualications were GCSEs so they wanted to verify them, this is very unusual as in these situations candidates experience usually speaks for itself and GSCE results are irrelevant but they are entitled to do it before they make you an offer.
Personally I think it is ridiculous and pedantic that odd employers do this (especially as most people no longer have their certs). I think it may be because they are worried that if they check candidate degrees (which is standard) degree candidates could kick up a fuss that their qualifications were checked when others weren't.
Anyway, the best way to get them confirmed would be to contact the exam board for confirmation, if you still have your certs or remember the board for each GCSE (they will probably be a mix of boards) pass the info on to the employer and they should check on your behalf.
If you don't have that info you should ring your old school and speak to the secretary and ask if they can let you know what the boards were or if alternatively they would verify the quals themselves and who your employer should contact to do that. At the very least they have a duty to let you know the exam boards you were assessed by.
Your new employer can get verification once you know the boards and it is absolutely standard that they should absorb the cost of verification although in many cases it will be free done by fax.
Good luck.

You should learn to punctuate your English.
Why would they now need your GCSE results??
Most employers gather 'evidence' of previous accredited learning for the last five years.
The details of your GCSE's should be admitted in your CV document, when you sign it, you self certify that you are being truthful.
What you did more than five years ago is really a thing of the past.
If you want to take English or Maths tuition go through a Learn Direct Centre, courses will be free for you.
Good luck x x

As long as the examination board is still going then yes they can. However, an employer is going to be highly unlikely to check, unless it stipulates that you need a certain GCSE - for example if going into teaching they would check on your maths and science.
