garbolino executioner 13m with free 1.8m extension for £199 from cheshire fishing will give you a 38 1/2 foot pole and you can buy extra extensions for £40

MAP F16 it was £249 when I bought it from Cheshire fishing and it's about 45ft.
I've had mine a couple of years but it doesn't get used every day.
-
what are the two poles like for flexibility at full height ?
-
compared to a glass fibre or aluminium excellent. the map f16 is highly recommended but i have not used one, the one I use I am not prepared to recommend yet as i have only been using it for two months so only time will tell

This is my F16 last Monday at full length.

I needed to go 40-45 ft a year ago and tried the diy fishing pole way. It didnt work the pole snapped and left me out of pocket.
In the end I went to gardeners and bought the max pole for £699. I know it sounds a lot but I have never looked back. I use this pole on all jobs even ground.
If the price is a problem which it was for me then get an interest free credit card that runs for 12-13 months and save the money up durring that time, then pay it off. This is what I have done and will be paying it all off this month. I'm not worried as the moneys there.
