Hi, @atomic-orange, this domain is not using Netlify DNS at this time. The name servers used can be found here:

$ whois minus-acoustics.co.uk | grep -i "server"
% IANA WHOIS server
nserver:      DNS1.NIC.UK 213.248.216.1 2a01:618:400:0:0:0:0:1

I do see a DNS zone configuration for this domain at Netlify here:

However, it isn’t active at this time. To activate Netlify DNS for this domain, please change the DNS name servers at the domain registrar to the ones shown for this domain at the link above.

Once that change is made, Netlify DNS should become active within 24 hours (due to the 86400 time to live values on the existing DNS records for the name servers used now):

minus-acoustics.co.uk.	86400	IN	NS	ns2.krystal.co.uk.
minus-acoustics.co.uk.	86400	IN	NS	ns1.krystal.co.uk.

I did test the SPF and TXT records created at Netlify DNS. They do work correctly if the name servers for Netlify DNS are used:

Note, you don’t have to use Netlify DNS to point a custom domain to a site at Netlify. There is an alternative - external DNS:
