Hey all.
I am in a fairly new build house and upon decorating it is a pain in the rear painting behind radiators due to space. A regular 4" roller would get paint on the radiator.
My Dad has a long reach roller arm with a super slim roller on it that he has for many years. It is probably only 15-20mm diameter. I am free to borrow it but it is far easier if I buy my own!

Does anyone have idea what these are called? I am struggling to find one online.

Could it be termed a mini roller? I am not fussed about having long reach, just a small diameter roller!

Being a new build, has it got the thin plastic pipes to the rads? If so you can usually unhook them from the wall and sit it on something away from the wall.
 
Thanks for the replies.
I've had a look at all of those but they don't appear to be as thin as the one I have used.
There is the option to unhook the radiator if I am totally stuck as it does have the plastic flexi pipes :).

Any chance it could be one of these? A modelling paint roller :D

 
I always remove the radiators. Although it's a nuisance, it just makes it easier to decorate. Besides, it does them good to have a flush out now and then!
