Thanks for the info. I will try it. It is only dust marks to be covered but need to do the whole ceiling.

Our bedroom ceiling is standard plaster painted with white vinyl emulsion, which is now getting a bit grubby after many years. If I give the ceiling a new coat of white emulsion it does not seem to cover the black marks adequately. Is there a primer, or alternative paint I can use. What do...

After the last wash on my Servis dishwasher I noticed a pool of water inside the dishwater at the bottom. Fortunately there was no water seeping into the kitchen. There must be a blockage somewhere. I have checked the filter and jets and they are clean. Any idea what the problem is and how...

Thanks for your response. Are you saying there is access to the drain hole from the outside (at the back of the fridge)?

I have a Hotpoint Iced Diamond fridge. The water at the back of the fridge, as part of the defrosting process, collects at the drainhole but the water does not go down the hole and ends up at the bottom of my fridge. The drainhole must be blocked somewhere, but there is no obvious blockage...

Thanks Landyandy I will certainly follow this up. I understand that this product is available from most outlets.
