L.G. Harris is a name that has become deeply rooted in the British decorating industry. Founded in 1928 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, Harris began as a modest manufacturer of brushes and decorating tools.
Over the course of more than 90 years, the company has built a reputation for quality, consistency, and dependability. Their commitment to traditional craftsmanship, combined with a forward-thinking approach to tool design, has seen them evolve into one of the most trusted decorating brands in the UK and far beyond.
Harris brushes and rollers are now used in homes and on job sites across the globe. A highlight of their prestigious history came in 1961 when Harris was awarded the Royal Warrant by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, confirming their status as the preferred supplier of decorating tools to the Royal Household at Sandringham.
To this day, Harris still holds that Royal Warrant, a rare honour that underscores their continued dedication to excellence. Their products are associated with reliability, durability, and performance – qualities that have remained consistent through decades of innovation and growth.
At the heart of the Harris brand is a dedication to making decorating not just easier, but better. Harris is a company that listens to its customers and uses their feedback to drive continuous product development.
Their design teams embrace cutting-edge materials and manufacturing technologies to produce tools that save time, reduce effort, and improve overall results. One of the best examples of this is their patented NO-LOSS paint brush system – a revolutionary design that eliminates the common frustration of bristles coming loose mid-project. This small but powerful innovation ensures a flawless finish and has helped redefine what users expect from a paint brush.
Beyond this, Harris offers ergonomic handles for enhanced comfort, precision-tipped bristles for cleaner edges, and a wide array of surface-specific products to ensure that decorators always have the right tool for the job. From professional painters to weekend DIYers, users trust Harris to deliver consistent performance, intelligent design, and lasting value.
At Platinum Chemicals, we understand the importance of offering decorating tools that deliver on quality, usability, and price. That’s why we stock a carefully selected range of Harris products across their three main quality tiers – ensuring there’s something for every customer, regardless of experience or budget.
The Harris ULTIMATE Range represents the very best of what the brand has to offer. These tools are designed for professional results, using advanced materials and superior build quality to guarantee a smooth, even finish every time. Whether it’s brushes that maintain their shape or rollers that hold and release paint efficiently, this range is made for those who demand top-tier performance.
The Harris SERIOUSLY GOOD Range offers an excellent balance between quality and affordability. Perfect for homeowners, hobbyists and keen decorators, these products are designed to perform well with minimal fuss. They offer a noticeable step up from basic tools without the premium price tag.
Finally, the Harris ESSENTIALS Range is ideal for those seeking reliable, cost-effective tools for everyday tasks. Whether you’re giving a room a quick refresh or tackling your first home project, this range includes all the core decorating tools you need at a price that won’t break the bank. These straightforward, easy-to-use products get the job done efficiently and are perfect for those who want dependable results on a budget.
Our Harris Hub categorises tools by their intended use, making it easy for customers to find the right equipment for specific decorating tasks. This structured approach not only improves the shopping experience but also ensures that users can achieve a high-quality finish no matter what surface they’re working on.
The Harris Walls & Ceilings Range includes a wide variety of paint brushes, rollers and paint pads designed specifically for interior emulsion applications. These tools are developed to help decorators cover large areas quickly and evenly, with smooth, professional-looking results that last.
The Harris Interior Woodwork Range is tailored for fine detail and surface precision. It includes gloss brushes, varnish brushes, and smaller precision tools – perfect for use on skirting boards, doors, window frames and other internal wood surfaces.
For external projects, the Harris Exterior Woodwork Range provides heavy-duty brushes, block brushes and weather-resistant rollers designed to cope with outdoor surfaces. Whether you’re painting a shed, a fence, or garden furniture, this range helps deliver long-lasting results in less time.
The Harris Masonry Range includes robust tools built to handle textured and uneven surfaces like brick, render and stone. These products are ideal for exterior walls and feature high paint pick-up, heavy-duty bristles, and larger coverage areas to make masonry decorating quicker and easier.
Each category is developed with specific tasks in mind, ensuring that decorators are always equipped with tools that are fit for purpose – helping to avoid mistakes, save time, and achieve excellent results from start to finish.
Beyond brushes and rollers, Harris also offers a complete line of tools to support both the preparation and application stages of decorating. At Platinum Chemicals, we carry these ranges under two key categories: Work Smarter and Preparation Tools.
The Harris Work Smarter Range is designed to streamline every aspect of your decorating workflow. It includes reliable roller frames, sturdy extension poles for high walls and ceilings, deep well roller trays, paint kettles, and other helpful accessories that can make large jobs feel more manageable. These tools are engineered for ease-of-use, with a focus on comfort and durability – helping to reduce fatigue and improve efficiency on site or at home.
The Harris Preparation Range focuses on the all-important prep work that ensures a flawless final result. It includes robust wire brushes for stripping away old paint and rust, filling knives for smoothing out imperfections, scrapers for removing flaky surfaces, and sanding tools for surface refinement. These items are essential for getting your surfaces ready for painting and are made to withstand repeated use on tough materials.
By combining the right preparation tools with high-performance application products, Harris gives you everything you need to complete your decorating projects to the highest standard – whether it’s a quick touch-up or a full-scale renovation.
