I currently clean the ground and first floor where due to the slope of the road my slx 30 covers it easily. I have now been asked to do the top floor and the 30 is well short. I'm thinking 47 with deep neck for the top.
I need to work from the road so need to do it as as  efficiently as possible

Don't go with "reach-it" or you'll need about 15 different poles!  ;D

firstly remove C then B but best keep A on as perry would say I'm thinking  ;D ;D
By the time you faffed about  with a reach-it I would have it done with me 35' pole and cleaned all the plastics too  :P

Some are just show off's arnt they as a hybrid pole is still good enough for most jobs.  ;D
When I say good enough it's putting money in yer pocket which all that counts  ;)

False economy.

Ooooh if the top of the window is 8 metres, square that 64m and you stand about 5m out, square that 25, bung them together 90ish, find the root, bit less than ten, that takes the hypotenuse to your feet remember. Room to play with. Take away the number you first thought of, you need a 30' pole.

I think anyone that hasn't got the latest 30' titanium plated, diamond encrusted infinitum pole is a mere peasant 😂

Some do actually prefer using CLX's over SLX's though for some bizarre reason. The whip allows you to clean lower sections of glass over long reach conservatories and extensions easier as the brush end of the pole is lower

I'm still waiting for someone to say they would open the window and clean it from the inside with a karcher.  ;D ;D

Or just don't bother to clean it and get paid the same. Best to turn up on a rainy day though  ;D ;D

That's the 30'. With an extension I would get there but would be at a poor angle and make it hard to scrub. Going to have to dust off the bloody credit card. Customer did committ to a two year contract, (written in an email)
Thanks for the replies

I'm sure perry is laughing his socks off right now muttering to himself "80 20 rule  +a +b + c... sorted"  ;D ;D
Mind you this is a very good example of what he is on about I think as what are you going to do now buy a longer pole?

Can I ask what slx pole is that exactly as I see is fitted with one extention already which don't seem anything like 30' to me?

It's a slx 25 with one extension.
Not sure to replace the pole as its at least 5 years old or to extend again

a 35 would get it easily a 47 would be overkill unless you had other jobs for it , or your only 4" 6
