Pile length is matched to surface texture. High-density and foam sleeves give a fine finish on smooth surfaces such as doors, medium pile polyester suits general walls and ceilings, and long pile holds more paint for rough or textured surfaces. The page lists medium pile sleeves in 4in/100mm and a long pile roller in 9in/230mm.
Rollers here come in 50mm mini, 4in/100mm and 9in/230mm sizes, with an 18in microfibre sleeve for large areas. Use the mini and 4in sizes for doors, radiators and narrow sections, and 9in for walls and ceilings. Check the frame suits the sleeve too: one 9in frame is listed for 43mm sleeves.
A round sash brush has a round head that follows curved and narrow shapes, which helps with detail and profile work such as glazing bars, mouldings and window frames. Sizes listed are 15mm and 21mm, and there is a 6 piece flat and round sash brush set if you need both shapes.
A stripping knife has a stiff blade for scraping off old paint and wallpaper, while a filling knife has a flexible blade for pressing filler into cracks and smoothing it off. Paint Stripping and Prepping lists soft grip filling knives from 32mm to 100mm, a 100mm stripping knife and a 38mm chisel knife for narrow areas.
Use a wide block brush made for stains and preservatives on rough timber. Painting and Decorating Brushes lists a 115mm shed and fence brush, a 120mm Woodmaster stain brush and a 170mm deck and wall brush. The wider head covers boards quickly and works the coating into sawn timber.
Choose a pole that lets you reach the ceiling or the top of the wall from the floor without overstretching. Poles listed include Step-Lock fibreglass poles of 1.2m and 2.4m and a 2m telescopic pole. Check the pole end suits your roller frame before ordering, as fittings differ between makes.
Painting and Decorating Tools
This category covers tools for preparing surfaces and applying paint, varnish and other coatings. Painting and Decorating Brushes lists flat, angled, long reach and beaver tail brushes, touch-up brush assortments and brush sets. Paint Rollers, Roller Sleeves and Trays covers rollers, sleeves, trays, bucket covers and sleeve cases, and Paint Stripping and Prepping includes stripping and filling knives, long handled and floor scrapers, shave hooks and dust sheets. Paint stirrers and a pneumatic paint can crusher for workshop waste are also listed.
Brands include Draper and Sealey. Match brush width to the surface, using narrower brushes for cutting in and trim and wider brushes or rollers for larger areas. For rollers, check that sleeve width and tray size match, such as a 9in or 230mm sleeve with a tray of the same size.
