Decorating & Paints: Brushes, Rollers and Prep Kit for UK Homes
Klevaro stocks a focused range of decorating tools and paint accessories for everything from a single feature wall to a full house refresh. The collection covers paint brushes, rollers, paint trays, scrapers, fillers, masking tape, dust sheets, sanding blocks and the small extras that turn a tidy job into a tidy finish. We carry Rolson Tools UK alongside other established names, with the focus on practical sizes and pack mixes that suit DIY budgets. Most ranges include both budget options for one-off jobs and longer-life tools for households that decorate room-by-room every couple of years. Pair this collection with our hand tools for prep, and our artist and craft brushes for fine detail work on furniture, frames and signage.
Brushes, Rollers and Application Tools
Brushes still do most of the work on doors, skirting, frames and cut-in lines. A 25mm sash brush, a 50mm general brush and a 75mm wall brush handle most household jobs between them. For walls and ceilings, microfibre rollers give a fine, low-spatter finish on emulsion, while medium-pile rollers suit textured surfaces. Match roller width to the wall: 9 inch (230mm) suits open spaces, 4 inch (100mm) gets behind radiators and into corners. Keep brushes wrapped in cling film between coats so a single brush handles a whole day without washing out.
Filling, Sanding and Surface Prep
Most paint problems start before the lid is opened. Filler knives, scrapers, caulk applicators and sanding blocks are the unglamorous tools that decide whether a finish lasts. Use a 50mm flexible filler knife for cracks and screw holes, a stiff scraper for old emulsion or wallpaper paste, and a sanding sponge to feather edges. Mask off skirting, sockets and architraves with low-tack masking tape, and dust-sheet floors before opening any tin. For storage of all this between projects, see our storage and handling range.
Trays, Liners and Paint Workflow
Roller trays, tray liners, paint kettles and stirring sticks finish the workflow. Disposable tray liners save the worst of the clean-up; paint kettles let you cut in around windows without dragging a full 5 litre tin around the room. Stir slowly to mix pigment without trapping bubbles, and decant only what you will use in 30 minutes so the paint stays at a workable consistency. Keep a damp cloth on hand for spills, and resist the urge to over-load the roller (a heavy roller drips and leaves tiger-stripe roller marks at the cut-in line). As a quick starter kit for a UK living room: one 9 inch microfibre roller and frame, a 50mm and 25mm brush, two tray liners, a sanding sponge, a tube of decorator's caulk, a roll of low-tack tape and one good dust sheet. That set will see most rooms through and store flat in a drawer for next time.
