Title: Gutter brush
Post by: Davew on May 03, 2007, 09:18:30 pm

I want a brush that I can apply tfr to gutters and facias - anyone have any suggestions? It has to be able to hold plenty of moisture so I don't need to keep bringing it back down too many times to soak it. Maybe a fence brush but ideally it would have a screw thread. I can then wash with pure water and a gaz brush.

I was thinking of sticking a very cheap Tesco flocked brush on the end?

Here is an Anzo fence brush the bristes will part around the sides when used along the length of the gutter. Either dip it in Tfr or pump it up.

Thanks Jeff, I think you posted that before I have my eye on one at B&Q.
Gaz I usually finish off with your swivel brush but I reckon a smaller lighter one could be even better?

davew you'd be surprised ( I was) at how high you can spray with the nozzel unscrewed till it just gives a jet, easily get up to guttering/fascias with my 5ltr Hozelock sprayer, about £20 B&Q

I'll try later. I've made a longer lance already from some aluminium tubing from B&Q. Think I'll wait till the wind drops first.
