It is exactly that. I've only ever used 9" as that is often what is most readily available when I walk in somewhere and remember I need rollers. Then also because i usually already have 9" trays.
These are the liners

The Frogtape works very well. When we moved into our place it was freshly decorated but white walls throughout so we painted a fair few rooms up to a third height just to quickly get some colour into the rooms and we didn't get any bleeding at all.
Cheap stuff sometimes doesn't adhere as well and you get little spider legs of colour. I normally have some cheapo stuff as well which I'll use for dust sheets and stuff.

we're keeping the ceiling white and going a relatively dark colour on the walls.
Obvs subjective but it might look better to keep the white down to picture rail height. Also easier to get a clean masked line on the wall than in the corner.

Thanks all for your replies - very kind!
@Mr_Smyth
I hadn't thought about that ... I know it was completely redecorated within the last 7 years, and the woodwork looks fairly good to my untrained eye, but currently everything is white. I appreciate that it might look very different with colour on the walls. I may well be coming back for more advice down the line if I decide that I need to do the skirting and door frames as well!
@Haggis
This is my best buy, it's very comfortable to hold and has a magnet for your brush. I use the liners so I don't need to clean it after use.
This looks great for the brush and small roller - I will buy one and a set of liners.
@aggi
Good tip on the dust sheet - I will amend my plan accordingly. I think the masking will be very important, as we're keeping the ceiling white and going a relatively dark colour on the walls. You reckon the stuff I linked will be naff and Frogtape masking tapes will work better at getting a sharp line? If so, definitely a false economy to go cheap and I will go for the Frogtape.

I had a look on the B&Q website and struggled to find it (which reminded me that I hate that website). Is it something like this plus some liners? https://www.diy.com/departments/goodhome-woven-polyester-medium-pile-roller-set-4-pieces/5059340016696_BQ.prd If there's any chance you can remember a brand or dig out a link that would be really helpful. I was thinking I'd go for 12 inch rollers just to get it done quicker (and I have a 4 inch roller for finer stuff). Or is there a good reason to go for 9 inch over 12 inch (said the actress to the bishop)?
