Brushes & Brooms

Learn more about brushes & brooms

A broom is a general tool for gathering dust and dirt. A sweeping brush does the same job, while a yard brush, also called a garden broom, has a wider head and tougher bristles for outdoor work on paths, patios and driveways.

Bristle stiffness and head width are the main things to check. Soft bristle brooms suit fine dust on smooth indoor floors, while stiff bristle brooms are better for rougher surfaces and heavier debris. 

Typical uses

• Can be used across workshops, garages, yards, driveways, patios, decking and building sites.

• They help clear sawdust, grit, leaves and loose material from hard surfaces.

• A stiff bristle broom is better when you are shifting heavier debris on rougher or external surfaces.

• A softer broom is the better fit for finer dust on smoother floors.

How to choose the right brush or broom

• Smooth indoor surfaces like wood, laminate and tile usually suit softer bristles.

• Carpeted areas and external paving usually need firmer bristles that work into the surface.

• Check the product specifications for bristle type, head size and handle length.

• A wider head covers ground faster on larger areas.

• A handle length that suits you can make sweeping easier over a long shift.

• Check if you need a complete new broom or whether you only need to replace the head or handle.

Before you order

Match the broom to the job, whether that is indoor dusting, yard clearing or a wider sweep across a larger area. It’s also worth checking whether you need a complete broom or just a replacement head or handle.

Why not stock up on heavy-duty rubble bags, dustpans, and site bins to complete your cleanup kit.
