Paint and Sealant Scrapers – Heavy-Duty Surface Preparation Tools for DIY and Trade Use

Our scraper range includes tools purpose-built for demanding surface removal tasks in both domestic and commercial environments. From lightweight handheld scrapers for tight detail work, to heavy-duty long-handled floor scrapers ideal for lifting bonded floor coverings, each tool is designed to improve user control and reduce fatigue during stripping of floor paints. Many feature ergonomic handles, hardened steel blades, or angled heads to optimise performance on stubborn materials.

Whether you're tackling flaky paint, adhesives, sealants, rust, or thermal coatings, choosing the right scraper can significantly reduce prep time and support a better bond for new surface treatments. Our collection includes rigid-blade models for hard surfaces and flexible options for more delicate work, plus adjustable blade angles and quick-change features that allow you to work more efficiently across large areas or intricate details.

We also offer specialist scrapers for glass cleaning, wallpaper removal, and flooring preparation, including models that accept interchangeable or reversible blades. These allow for longer tool life and better adaptability depending on the material you're working on. Floor scrapers with long handles are perfect for upright operation, helping reduce strain on the back and shoulders.

With high-performance designs for every stage of preparation, our range supports trades from decorating and flooring to industrial maintenance and facility management. Whether you’re removing contaminants before coating or stripping off outdated finishes, we have a scraper that will get the job done efficiently and cleanly.

Scraper FAQs

What’s the best scraper for removing adhesive from concrete floors?

A long-handled floor scraper with a wide, rigid blade is ideal for removing carpet glue or vinyl adhesive from concrete. These tools allow users to apply even pressure over large areas and can be used standing upright for improved comfort. Look for scrapers with replaceable blades to maintain effectiveness as edges wear down.

Can I use a scraper on glass without causing scratches?

Yes, but only with scrapers specifically designed for glass cleaning. These typically have a fine, flat blade edge and are used at a shallow angle to prevent gouging. Always check that the blade is clean and free from burrs or debris, and avoid using metal blades on untreated or soft-glass surfaces.

Do scrapers work on dried paint or coatings that have been heat-treated?

Yes, but effectiveness may depend on the hardness of the coating. For heat-treated or chemically resistant coatings, a robust scraper with a sharp, hardened blade may be needed, and it might help to soften the coating with a heat gun or stripper beforehand. Multi-angle heads can assist with difficult edges and curves.
