    Hanging heavy mirror

    Hard to tell from the photo, could it be that you drilled through plasterbaord into dot-and-dab then into breeze block? Was the effort required during drilling constant all the way?

    Radiator back on now but boiler not working

    I'm not sure how you are expecting anyone on here to diagose the issue without being able to look at it. If you have paid someone to carry out the work and there is an issue it is not unreasonable to call them back to come and diagnoise the issue and repair (at no cost) if they are at fault or...

    Sat dish - RF reflective coating

    yep, blow over it with a rattle can, the pre/post performance delta will be unnoticeable to the user. In real terms at Ku band (Commercial satellite tv) you may see a drop of 0.2db. Rain fade will affect the signal more than this

    Sat dish - RF reflective coating

    My old company manufactures satellite dishes from carbon fibre. We would spray the dish with electrodag (to improve rf performance) then add a final coat over the top in whatever RAL code the customer wanted.
