    I've used the Leyland MDF primer before, seems to do what it says on the tin.

    Best matt white?

    Leyland trade white is very white or seems to be for me. It was on offer a week ago at Screwfix. But like every other colour there are lots of different whites.

    White ceiling paint nightmare

    I've been using Leyland trade vinyl matt for years, worth stocking up when they do their offers as it's not cheap unfortunately, is anything nowadays.

    Emulsion Recomendations For Refurb

    I've always gone with this one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/leyland-trade-contract-10ltr-brilliant-white-matt-emulsion-paint/33680 but others will be along with their preferences, the traders will always spend more on paint.

    Who makes the best paint

    Don't think there's a definitive answer, opinions will always vary, can't really go wrong with the big/popular brands though. Personally I go for Leyland Trade for emulsion and Dulux trade Satinwood for the timberwork. Recoat emulsion after a couple of hours, timberwork the next day if necessary.

    Decent paint?

    I've used Leyland trade emulsion from Screwfix without any problems, though only ever used the white, happy to recommend that. Crown emulsion always seemed OK when I used it. Can't go wrong with anything from Dulux in my opinion, so far.

    What white paint - mat plasterboard walls - 10 years since last coat

    Leyland trade vinyl matt emulsion - from Screwfix, clean any dust/dirt/cobwebs off the walls/where it meets the skirtings etc, fill/sand any holes/pin holes/old picture hook holes etc you don't want to see afterwards, one coat will do (in my experience).

    Screwfix no nonsense trade bare plaster paint vs Fortress Trade matt emulsion bare plaster paint

    ...I would hazard (Arf!) it's made by Crown exclusively for Screwfixso this will be the replacement for the No Nonsense paint, that having been discontinued. I agree it appears to be a different paint spec, guess you'll have to chance it. I've always been pretty happy with Leyland trade paints.

    Interior paint advice

    Others will have their preferences but I get on quite well with Leyland Trade Emulsion, though it's only available in limited colours, Screwfix and the like have it on offer for two 10l tubs every few months (on offer atm by the looks). Fortunately we paint most walls white here. We did use...

    Best paint that money can buy?

    ...caused any scuffs etc, sorry that's probably not much help. In the last house the whole place was white (my ideal choice too btw) we used Leyland vinyl matt throughout and just gave it a freshen up every so often, on offer a few times a year from Screwfix, I've never used anything but Dulux...
