Is there any way of taking apart a solvent welded condensate fitting or is it just a case of cutting out socket and re-do?

Cutting is the only way.

When assembled, the solvent dissolves the plastic so it melts together permanently.

Gotta love Tom's Tips. Not so many vids now as he's retired from the tools - which I thought might mean more vids :(

Sometimes it's worth spending time trying to decouple solvent weld if it's a socket buried in a wall and made good, but on condensate size I don't think I'd bother... Depends what the OP is trying to overcome?
