Title: Best Brush

In the states we have no options as to brushes.  Most guys that have been cleaning windows for long enough with wfp's will adapt a boars hair brush to their pole as there are no real good options. 

What brushes are folks in the UK using?

Gaz's brushes are the biz - failing that we use Vikan/Tucker/Salmon

Thanks.

for Gaz's brushes you'll need to leave a message for him here on cleanitup, top notch brushes by the way.  For tucker just google as you'll get them in the states.  For Vikan try http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/wcw/ecommerce/index.php?file=product&idcate=80 if you're working above 20ft I would go for the smaller brush 11" (16" far too heavy)

Lastly Salmon brushes, I don't know the link but I'll find it tommorrow and post it.

Overall Gaz's brushes are hands down winners over the rest - especially the swivel brush, very reasonably priced too.  His username is GazH20 - I'll ring him in the morning and tell him to message you.

Thanks for your help.  I am familiar with the Tuckers and the Vikans.  I am looking for something a bit more like what I have seen from Gaz's brushes. 

I found a couple photos that look very interesting.

Thanks.

Some people say tucker brushes are the best? Should I stick to my gaz brush (now fan jet compliant after five minutes with a drill and scissors!!)

Even gardiners website call it a gaz brush... ;D

Hi Guys,

We have referred to it as a Gaz brush (only in brackets) as a help to any Cleanitup user browsing our site. They are actually from the commercial Salmon Range of brushes which, if any one requires one, we can order in for them.
