I wonder if you are laying off when the paint is too thick; either from starting to dry, or being in an open can too long and needing a little white spirit stirred in?
It also helps to paint smallish sections so you can keep a wet edge. Large flat surfaces need a big bush so you can do the whole surface in one go; panelled doors are fiddly but can be done in small sections.

B&Q rich satin everywhere, is this oil or water based? If water based then it could be that you are using natural bristle brushes. For water based paints you should always use synthetic brushes in order to minimise brush strokes.
