    15 minute break after four and a half hours, and a half hour (which can include the first 15 minutes) after six hours, then a further 15 four hours later.

    Currently taking 2x15 in my 10.5 hour shift.

    But if I take a third 15 I've to work an extra 15 mins. I'm not paid for any breaks.

    Ah I may have misread the break information. It looks like the third break is if you are working more than 11 hours, sorry

    From the link
    Example: If you start work at 7am you are entitled to take a 15-minute break at 11.30am. At 1.15pm when you have worked 6 hours you are entitled to take a break of 30 minutes. As you have already taken a break at 11.15, your employer can limit this break to 15 minutes. (If you are working in a shop you are entitled to a one-hour break at 1.15pm.) If you start working again at 1.30pm or 1.45pm and continue working until 6 or 6.15pm you are entitled to another 15-minute break.
