Osmo door oil is oil based , you get a far better finish and tougher finish than crappy water based paint that literally dries as you are applying it showing every brush mark

I have read people have given oak veneer doors a coat of Zinserr cover stain before applying top coats, but maybe an ordinary wood primer would be ok, best bet is to pop into a local decorating centre ie Brewers and see what they recommend using. I personally would play safe with the coverstain...

Just paint it with black masonry paint want show up the mess then, or post a picture so we can see your bbq, there are quite a few heat resistant paints on the market

No Problem (y)

There is enough room for a paint kettle and brush, sandpaper, putty, knife and dusting brush and 1 person me thinks. Does not moving someone around on a tower against health and safety rules on your own property ?

Why not just touch in all the knots with knotting solution, and then prime bare timber with acrylic primer/undercoat and then apply your water based paints.

That is water based primer undercoat, I have been a painter and decorator for 33 years and if I was doing it for the sake of say 1/2 hours I would knott all the knotts, because you dont want to do all that painting and in a few months time seeing brown marks burning through the paint, better to...

I have used one and they are very good, sturdy and enough room for yourself and kit needed, nice if you have a friend to move you around instead of keep coming down and moving the tower along

If you were going to use water based undercoat and topcoat, you would have to put an adhesion primer or knotting solution on all the knotts or they will just burn through the water based paint.

I would definitely thin down the paint, but if you are trying to get it to cover in 1 coat, thinning the paint with water will mean you would have to apply 2 coats

By the looks of things you will have to remove box, and chop out some plaster to let box go into the wall further or use a thinner metal back box, but it might be that already.

I just read down to bare wood on gable end, thats why I am saying give it all a good rub down and dust and primer over the woodstain before you start undercoating

Have you tried washing wish sugar soap, I always clean guttering with sugar soap and the wash again with clean water before redecorating outsides.

You wont get decent brushes at Wickes, you need to go to a decorating centre, ie Brewers, Crown Decorators Centre, Johnstones or Dulux Decorating Centre.

Me personally I would thoroughly rub down all woodwork and apply a coat of woodprimer first.

Ratio for mist coating is usually 70/30 - you didnt mist coat with a vinyl matt did you, just use a contract matt emulsion watered down for a mist coat, also you should go to your local decorating centre and buy some Tesa masking tape, the yellow 1 they do can be left on surfaces for weeks and...

The dreaded water based strikes again, crap Paint Johnstones onecoat, dont diy buy trade paints, people think they are saving money by buying paint from the sheds but it costs them big time in the end, this is my opinion only, I dont touch jobs unless been purchased from a decorating centre or I...

Zinserr perma white is self priming so I see no point buying other Zinserr products, I would give the ceiling a couple of coats, and lasts up to 7 years according to Zinserr.

Your first picture looks like painted stipple artex, your next 2 pictures look completely different, look a blown vinyl wallpaper thats been painted.
