About Brooms Whether you're clearing construction debris from a building site, maintaining workshop floors, or keeping outdoor spaces tidy, having the right broom for the job makes all the difference. From heavy-duty yard brooms with stiff bassine bristles to soft coco brooms for delicate indoor surfaces, the selection available from Tooled-Up.com includes everything professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts need for effective sweeping. With options from trusted brands including Faithfull, Draper, Gardena, and Sealey, these brooms are designed to withstand the rigours of daily trade use whilst delivering exceptional cleaning performance. Modern brooms come in various configurations to suit different applications and surfaces. Platform brooms offer wide sweeping coverage for large areas such as warehouses and factory floors, whilst saddleback brooms provide excellent manoeuvrability in tighter spaces and around obstacles. You can choose between complete broom assemblies ready to use straight from the box, or select individual broom heads and handles to create your preferred combination. Many professional users keep multiple broom types on hand, selecting soft bristles for finished surfaces and stiff bristles for rough outdoor cleaning. Beyond traditional wooden-handled brooms, today's options include telescopic aluminium handles for adjustable reach, heavy-duty metal brackets for secure wall-mounted storage, and replacement heads that extend the working life of your equipment. Whether you need a robust 24" platform broom for clearing building rubble, a soft 12" indoor broom for sweeping polished floors, or a specialised deck scrubbing brush for outdoor maintenance, the right broom combination will save time and deliver professional results across all your cleaning tasks. Jargon Buster Bassine (Cane) A natural fibre made from palm leaves, bassine is stiff and durable, making it ideal for outdoor yard brooms and heavy-duty sweeping of rough surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and paving. It withstands harsh conditions and maintains its shape well under demanding trade use. Coco (Coconut Fibre) Soft, fine bristles made from coconut husks, perfect for indoor use on smooth surfaces such as laminate, tiles, and wooden floors. Coco brooms are gentle enough not to scratch delicate finishes whilst still providing effective sweeping performance for fine dust and debris. Saddleback Broom A broom head design featuring an angled or curved profile that allows the bristles to maintain better contact with the floor during sweeping. This design improves efficiency and manoeuvrability, particularly in corners and around obstacles. Platform Broom Also known as a flat broom, this features a wide, rectangular head typically ranging from 12" to 24" in width. Platform brooms cover large floor areas quickly, making them popular for warehouses, workshops, and expansive outdoor spaces. Threaded Handle A standardised screw thread connection system (typically Acme thread) that allows interchangeable broom heads to be securely attached to handles. This system enables easy replacement of worn heads and customisation of handle lengths for different users. PVC Bristles Hard-wearing synthetic bristles resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes. PVC brooms are excellent for wet environments and areas where natural fibres would deteriorate, such as food preparation areas, chemical stores, or washdown bays. Who Uses Brooms? Brooms are essential tools across virtually every trade and industry, including: Builders and General Contractors – sweeping construction debris, cement dust, plaster, and general site waste Groundworkers and Landscapers – clearing leaves, soil, grass clippings, and outdoor maintenance Warehouse and Logistics Staff – maintaining clean, safe floors in storage and distribution facilities Factory and Manufacturing Workers – keeping production areas free from dust, swarf, and material waste Facilities and Maintenance Teams – routine cleaning of commercial premises, car parks, and outdoor areas Shopkeepers and Retail Staff – daily sweeping of shop floors, forecourts, and customer areas Mechanics and Auto Workshops – removing oil, dirt, and metal filings from garage floors Gardeners and Groundskeepers – maintaining paths, patios, driveways, and outdoor recreational areas DIY Enthusiasts and Homeowners – general household cleaning and property maintenance Decorators and Painters – clearing dust and debris before and after finishing work How to Choose the Right Brooms Consider the Surface Type: Match your bristle material to the surface you're cleaning. Soft coco bristles suit polished indoor floors, laminate, and tiles, whilst stiff bassine works best on rough outdoor concrete, tarmac, and paving. PVC bristles excel in wet environments or where chemical resistance is needed. Choose the Appropriate Width: Platform brooms ranging from 18" to 24" wide cover large open areas efficiently, ideal for warehouses and factory floors. Smaller 12" to 13" heads offer better control in confined spaces, between equipment, or in domestic settings. Consider your typical working environment when selecting head width. Select Your Handle Configuration: Traditional wooden handles (typically 48" or 54") provide proven reliability and comfortable grip for extended use. Telescopic aluminium handles offer adjustable length for different users and tasks, reducing back strain. Consider whether you need a threaded connection for interchangeable heads or a permanent assembly. Assess Durability Requirements: Trade users working on building sites should prioritise heavy-duty construction with reinforced connections and quality bristle retention. The Tooled-Up range includes professional-grade options from Faithfull and Draper designed for daily site use. Look for varnished or treated wooden handles that resist moisture and splitting. Think About Storage: Heavy-duty metal broom brackets keep brooms organised and off the floor, extending their lifespan by preventing bristle deformation. Consider wall-mounted storage solutions if you maintain multiple broom types for different applications. Proper storage keeps handles straight and bristles in optimal condition. Plan for Replacement: Purchasing brooms with interchangeable threaded heads proves more economical long-term, as you can replace worn bristles whilst retaining serviceable handles. Stock spare heads for your most frequently used configurations to avoid downtime on busy projects. Popular Accessories Broom Handles – replacement wooden or aluminium handles in various lengths (typically 48" to 54" or 1.2m to 1.4m) Replacement Broom Heads – spare bassine, coco, or PVC heads for threaded handle systems Broom Brackets – heavy-duty metal wall-mounted storage brackets and organisers Dustpans and Brushes – complementary hand tools for collecting swept debris Yard Scrapers – for removing stubborn stuck-on debris before sweeping Wheelbarrows and Buckets – for collecting and disposing of swept material on site Hand Brushes and Deck Scrubbers – for detailed cleaning work alongside brooms Extension Poles – telescopic handles for increased reach in high or difficult areas Work Gloves – protection during extended sweeping sessions Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between bassine and coco broom bristles? Bassine (cane) is a stiff natural fibre ideal for outdoor use on rough surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and paving, whilst coco (coconut fibre) is softer and better suited for indoor use on smooth floors such as laminate, tiles, and wood. Bassine handles heavy debris and harsh conditions on building sites, whereas coco won't scratch delicate surfaces in finished spaces. Can I replace just the broom head, or do I need to buy a complete new broom? Most professional brooms at Tooled-Up.com feature standardised threaded connections (typically Acme thread) that allow you to replace worn heads whilst keeping serviceable handles. This is more economical and environmentally friendly. Check that replacement heads match your handle's thread type – most UK brooms use compatible standards, but it's worth verifying before purchase. How do I maintain my broom to extend its lifespan? Store brooms with bristles off the ground using wall brackets or hangers to prevent deformation. Clean bristles regularly by rinsing outdoor brooms and combing through to remove trapped debris. Allow natural fibre brooms to dry thoroughly after wet use to prevent rot. Store in a dry location and treat wooden handles occasionally with linseed oil to prevent splitting and maintain grip comfort. What length handle should I choose for comfortable sweeping? Standard broom handles are typically 48" (1.2m) or 54" (1.4m) long. Choose a length that allows comfortable sweeping whilst standing upright without hunching – taller users generally prefer 54" handles. Telescopic aluminium handles offer adjustability between approximately 1.0m to 1.8m, ideal for shared equipment or varied tasks across different sites. Are synthetic or natural bristles better for trade use? Both have their place in professional settings. Natural bassine and coco bristles offer excellent sweeping performance and are biodegradable, but PVC synthetic bristles excel in wet environments, resist chemicals, and maintain their shape in temperature extremes. Many professional users keep both types for different applications – natural for general sweeping and synthetic for washdown areas or chemical environments on industrial sites.
