A mixed set of five disposable paint brushes in a range of sizes, ideal for contractors and decorators who need a practical brush selection for quick jobs, touch-ups, and one-off applications without the fuss of cleaning up afterwards.
When you need paint on a surface quickly and you’re not interested in spending ten minutes cleaning brushes afterwards, a 5 piece contractors paint brush set does exactly what you need it to. This mixed set includes five brushes across a useful spread of sizes, giving you the right width for whatever you’re tackling, whether that’s cutting in around frames, applying wood treatment to tight sections, or knocking out a quick undercoat before the proper brushes come out.
Disposable brushes get a bad rep, but on a working site they make a lot of sense. There’s no solvent, no drying time, no brush left in a tin of water that someone knocks over. You use them, you bin them. For short-duration jobs where cleaning a quality brush isn’t worth the effort, or for products that wreck brushes anyway (some wood preservatives and bitumen products being the obvious offenders), this kind of set earns its keep.
Where the 5 Piece Contractors Paint Brush Set Gets Used
The size mix in this set covers the kind of widths that come up constantly on site. Smaller brushes handle fiddly work: pipework, edges, metalwork, mastic coverage. The mid-range sizes are the workhorses, good for fence panels, joinery, garden structures, and internal woodwork. Having a few sizes ready to go without digging through a toolbox is the sort of small convenience that saves a surprising amount of time across a working day.
Good for Trade, Good for DIY Overspill
These brushes are sold as a contractor set, but they’re equally handy when a homeowner calls you to do a small job and you don’t want to break out the good equipment. At this price point, keeping a pack in the van costs almost nothing and covers a lot of situations. A 5 piece contractors paint brush set at under two quid is one of those lines where the maths is simple: buy a few boxes, keep them stocked, don’t think about it again.
Sizes included are 1 inch, 1.5 inch (two brushes), and 2 inch (two brushes), giving five brushes total in one pack.
Pro Tip: If you are using these with a solvent-based product, apply quickly and keep the brush moving, as solvent can soften the bristle bond on disposable brushes faster than on quality trade brushes, so short swift strokes will get better results than long slow dragging passes.
These brushes are used across a wide range of everyday site and decorating tasks. They suit any job where clean-up time outweighs the cost of the brush itself, including applying wood preservative, fence paint, bituminous coatings, PVA primer, and touch-up work on interior joinery. Groundworkers and builders find them useful for applying bonding agents and sealing compounds in areas where a good brush would likely be ruined. Decorators keep them for cutting in on rough or contaminated surfaces where dragging a quality brush makes no sense.

Key Features
- Mixed size set for versatility
- Disposable, no cleaning required
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Suitable for water and solvent-based paints
- Cost-effective for short-duration jobs
Not suitable for: Not suited for fine finish work where brush marks matter, such as gloss painting on doors or trim where a quality brush is needed. These are working brushes, not finishing brushes.
Open the pack, select the right size for the job, and apply paint or treatment as you normally would. There is no preparation needed. When the job is done, dispose of the brush rather than cleaning it, which is the whole point at this price. For solvent-based products, keep brush strokes short and deliberate to avoid softening the ferrule bond.
- Select the brush size that suits the width of the surface you are covering
- Stir or mix your paint or treatment thoroughly before starting
- Load the brush to roughly half the bristle length to avoid drips
- Apply using short, controlled strokes, working the product into the surface
- Dispose of the brush when finished, or when the bristles begin to deteriorate
Can these brushes be used with solvent-based paints and treatments?
Yes, they can be used with solvent-based products, but keep in mind that solvents can degrade the bristle bonding on disposable brushes faster than on quality trade brushes. Work quickly and use short strokes rather than long slow passes for the best result.
What sizes are included in the 5 piece set?
The set includes five brushes: one 1 inch brush, two 1.5 inch brushes, and two 2 inch brushes. The spread covers most standard cutting-in, joinery, and surface treatment tasks you would encounter on site.
Are these good enough for interior decorating work?
For priming, applying PVA, and general preparation work they are fine. For finishing coats where you need a clean, mark-free result, you are better off with a quality trade brush. These are built for practical, single-use work rather than fine finishing.
Constructed with synthetic bristles set in a basic ferrule and wooden handle, these brushes are designed for single-use or short-duration application tasks. The bristle mix suits both water-based and solvent-based coatings for general application. No performance ratings or specific chemical resistance certifications apply, consistent with disposable trade brush products at this price tier.
