They are doing a 35ft carbon pole for £219 plus VAT and carriage.
Sounds too good to be true, anybody seen one of these are they telescopic or modular? At that price I'm tempted.

Just had a look it's telescopic.

I don't know mate, Ive never seen one, that's why I'm asking, they are less than half price, has anyone used one?

Hello guy's,

I placed my first order with Brodex on Sunday, I took advantage of their earlier pole & brush head offers.
I got their text message this morning and quite fancied a longer one :o
I also talked them into sending it with the order I placed on Sunday, so no extra carriage to pay ;)

I'm just getting back into window cleaning after a short break of 12 years :o
Things have changed, i'm sure we will be talking more............

Funny you should say that........when I asked them when it would be delivered (together with my previous order) they replied 'within 7 days of your initial order date' ???
I take it these suppliers have a bit of a reputation then?

Just had a phone call from Pure Freedom confirming that my order with them was on a pallet and will be delivered tomorrow. See BMS, it's not hard to get it right! ::)

Apparently, the shorter length poles are Glass Fibre & longer ones in the same range are Carbon Fibre ???

I got the text as well.I use brodex poles and get on well with them
the clamps can be a problem,but the the replacement ones they
sent have been fine with no problems 6 months later.
I bought the 36ft alloy,3weeks ago for a stupid price of 128 quid.
It can be a bit of a beast to control and is heavy,but it does the job for 3rd/4th storey work.The carbon fibre pole would definitely be a good buy at that price.

True enough :)

Looking at gardiners there pole of same height is 33% lighter, but i suppose it is nearly double the price
Might give brodex a go, got a hydra at the moment and although not the lightest , or most rigid, it is bomb proof and a very reliable pole

Hello Dai,
The order I placed online on Sunday for the 'Special Offer' Pole Set & Brush Head Set, yes I did get an email order confirmation.
I got the text on Monday for this pole offer, I rang them and asked them to add it to the online order I placed on Sunday.
The second order (for the pole) arrived today, but the online order placed on Sunday i'm still waiting for ???

Well I ordered and paid for mine a week ago, I have heard nothing, not even an email since.
I called them today and the girl said the guy who deals with the orders was busy but would call right back. It's now 22.13 and I'm still waiting.
