Home to full sized AstroTurf, grass cricket wicket, a nine-hole golf course and an all-weather wicket, there was no better match than the GKB Rotobrush for Witham Hall Preparatory School.

Alex Exton, groundsman at Witham Hall Preparatory School, explains that the GKB Rotobrush perfectly fits his needs. “It is a compact and efficient machine that it is perfect for what I wanted it for. This machine was affordable too, which was a big appeal. It’s rare you can get such an impressive machine for such a great price.”

As your synthetic sport pitches get used, dirt becomes apparent. From moss and algae to general wear and tear, this ultimately can affect the technical characteristics and authentic appearance of the turf. The GKB Rotobrush restores this by tackling persistent contamination. Alex explains: “We use our GKB Rotorbrush to clean our AstroTurf. Due to the size of our grounds it can take a while however this machine is the best of the best!”

The GKB Rotobrush enables you to brush deeper and more effectively where needed. Thanks to the rotating brush disc that is provided with extra rigid bristles, your artificial pitch maintenance can be taken to the next level. When the functioning of normal brushing and cleaning stops, the GKB Rotobrush continues. Alex Exton said: “The GKB Rotobrush gets so close to the edges of the AstroTurf, especially where the carpet meets the fence kickboard and also on the artificial for the cricket.”
