Depends what you mean by "second floor".

Good old British eccentricity uses the terms: "Ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor" etc, so 2nd floor is actually 3 floors up.

If  that's what you mean you'll need at least a 24ft pole

Cheers,

Ian

24ft carbon facelift,or if you can afford it buy the 34ft one and remove 2 sections for everyday use.

Measure from the lintel to the ground with another pole etc or a piece or string

I can reach some 2nd floor windows using my 18ft pole but its a bit of a stretch, your better off with a 24ft for 2nd floor work. :)

Yeah, trust him, he's been wfp about 3 whole days ;D ;D ;D.

Agree with NWH, get a carbon 24ft mate, you'll not have to struggle on your tip-toes & reach more windows. a 17ft pole will severely limit your reach.
