Can anyone help me. When painting ceilings I always end up with stripes! These look even worse in natural light. I use Dulux trade paint and good rollers. How do I achieve a totally flat white ceiling?

Thin the paint out slightly before you use it 15%...

Work away from the light...once you have rolled the first strip along the window wall roll the next one close to it...and the next one...then roll over them in the opposite direction...then repeat this across the ceiling.
