Do you use a protector ball?

Buy some of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=practice+balls&_osacat=18924&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=practice+balls+foam&_sacat=18924 (the rainbow ones, not the yellow)

and drill a 5mm hole through them (do it twice, as it'll be full of bits of foam after the first go), then run your 6mm pole hose through before putting on the fitting at the end.  Its job is to keep the fitting from banging endlessly on the floor.  And to catch on every single thing you walk near.

We use 360 Protectors from Exceed. They seem to work well.

Tried that but when pulling onto a flat roof for example as I pull the hose the connection just comes apart
