I changed my dishwasher the other day to be horrified at the amount of
mud underneath the old unit. I then checked under the dishwasher...
same. To see the extent of the problem I drained the attic tank, and
there was a thick brown sludgy mess at the bottom also. I wonder is it
due to a mains leak somewhere? Any help/advice on this would be great.
I'm on a mains water supply with strict regs... so I don't think this
should be happening?!

Just contact your water company for a water quality test. You can also
contact the Drinking Water Inspectorate if you don't get a satisfactory
result from the water board. However if there is a leak and it's on your
property I think you'll end up paying for the repairs so it might be a
double edged sword.

I'm not sure why there should be anything under your dishwasher unless it
was leaking in which case most of the mess might be rust. The attic tank
should be clean though.
