BroadAmbition Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 We are in need of a replacement mop head, the current one kinda fell off, mind you it doesn't owe us owt as its been in use since the late noughties. Situation is we can't seem to find a supplier of the traditional type, you would have thought that Nearest and Dearest would stock them but no longer do apparently. Bro' has been searching all over the shop but can't seem to source one from anywhere. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 We used to get them from Coopers in Gt Yarmouth. I believe they still have stores in Norfolk, at North Walsham or Kings Lynn, from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annv Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hi I use a mop that you slide the bottom handle and twist it then squeezes out the water, works very well in mopping excess water/dew from cabin roof and deck. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Griff I may be Barking up the Wrong Tree I think councils supply those sort of Mop Heads for the Schools Caretaker use to Mopping up loos and Shower Rooms so they must have a supplier for these study Mop Heads.

Bikertov Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We have used Gopher Supplies in the past for stuff at work - https://www.gophersupplies.co.uk/ and our cleaning company use Avica https://www.avica-uk.com/ca/traditional-mops-handles/9623 But I see from your picture that you may be specifically looking for something with a nice metal ferule, which is a bit more specialist.

PaulN Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Brian Ward's? https://www.brianwards.co.uk/product/mop-head/?highlight=mop heads The mop heads are advertised alongside a wooden handle, so presumably suitable for the heads. If the strands are too long, a pair of scissors should rectify. Seems well priced too. A call to Nick or Tanya might be a good idea. to check if suitable.

BroadAmbition Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi Bikertov, the s/steel ferule is part of the mop handle not the actual mop head. The mop head is a round affair held onto the handle by a simple large copper pin over a leather and or s/steel penny washer Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
