Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Exterior painting system

Yes. Although there are other systems (e.g Leyland Trugard, or Little Greene's traditional oil eggshell).)
Dulux claim to guarantee their Weathershield system for 8 years (oil-based) or 6 years (waterbased), but I suspect they would come up with some reason for not forking out if push came to shove, e.g. you didn't use their recommended primer preserver over the whole surface first, or the paint was used somewhere exposed to the elements (like most of Yorkshire!)
Has anyone successfully claimed against Dulux if their W/S system fails?

Thanks,just out of interest do you spot prime small areas of bare timber with the primer preservative
Yes. Or with Zinsser Bin 123 if I need it to dry quickly.
