It is 24' 9" fully extended without any gooseneck or brush attached. Realistically with a gooseneck and brush, it is 26ft. This should give you a reach of 31ft.

Post by: Alex Gardiner on October 06, 2008, 06:40:54 pm: Yes, I did one today funnily enough. You can just reach with a gooseneck attached. Interestingly I clean a converted nunnery that is third storey and is actually 6" higher than the 4th storey window I did today. I also do a stately home and it's second storey window is the same height as the low level fourth storey.

Post by: RO-Sheen on October 06, 2008, 07:13:53 pm: I have a 4 year old 3 storey house. I need a 31' mimimum from end of the pole to top of brush to reach the velux windows at the back of the house.
My house is a modern Persimmon house called 'cambridge'
