Its not just safety for me its no good cleaning windows if the wind is picking up dirt and causing it ruin just cleaned still wet windows.

As they will look no better or even twice as bad when dry. Mike

You are 100% safe as long as you cordon off an area with an equal circumference to the height of your pole..................ah never mind.

If you can safely control your pole = ok.

If you cannot safely control your pole = no work.

I have just tried to cordon of a street on one of my domestics for thirty metres, but the folk in the street are not happy about it.
