FAQs
Does this package include the handle?
No, the COTTAM Block Paving Brush is supplied as a head-only multipack. You will need to provide your own 23.5 mm diameter handle.
Can I use this on a wooden deck?
It is not recommended. The steel wire bristles are abrasive and will likely scratch, score, or damage wood surfaces.
Are the bristles rust-proof?
The bristles are designed for outdoor use and are durable, but as they are made of steel, they should be kept dry when not in use to prevent oxidation.
How do I remove the scraper if I do not need it?
The scraper is integrated into the brush head assembly and is intended to be a permanent part of the tool for added utility.
Is this safe to use on delicate natural stone?
Use caution on soft or polished stone as the steel wire may cause visible surface scratches. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Brush head feels loose on the handle
Ensure the handle diameter is exactly 23.5 mm. If the handle is slightly thin, apply a small amount of electrical tape to the end of the handle to create a snugger fit.
Bristles are becoming bent or matted
Avoid using excessive downward force on flat surfaces. Use the edge of the bristles for gaps and ensure you are cleaning on a dry surface to reduce resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your brush, simply locate a standard wooden or composite broom handle with a diameter of 23.5 mm. Firmly press the handle into the push-fit socket until secure; ensure the fit is tight before beginning work to prevent the head from wobbling. For maintenance, rinse the brush head with a hose after use to remove trapped organic debris and dirt. Allow the timber block to air dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture absorption, and store the tool in a dry shed or garage to maintain the integrity of the steel bristles.
