Which poles were they ?
my experience with Brodex is you have to constantly keep on to them until you get what you want :-\

I would swap it for a 27ft extel hybrid pole if anyone is interested, the hydra pole has only been used a handfull of times so still as good as new.

I've always said the same- It's a false economy mate. Where poles are concerned buy the real deal from day one. Nothing you ever buy will pay for itself more!!

No wonder people struggle to get good results with poles which bend like bananas! ;)

SLX- all the way
Title: Re: How long do Brodex normally take to deliver new poles?
Post by: concept on July 17, 2009, 06:54:06 pm: i dont have the funds to buy a carbon pole at the mo, so, i have to struggle and ache for the time being!

:-[

mate, they are 95 quid, at the end of the day, its paid for itself, but its not ideal for me.

just buy one direct.

Post by: Central Window Cleaners on July 17, 2009, 07:34:10 pm: Poles arrived today, not had a chance to use them yet, but the hose they used is very heavy so will be changing that before i use it.

One thing I dont like is the fact the sections do not have stoppers and the first time I pull the first section straight out of the pole.

That's actually a good thing. Means you can remove sections you don't need & thus reduce weight & base diameter, makes for easier working! ;) You'll soon get used to that.

Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on July 17, 2009, 10:05:20 pm: I used my WFP for fascias in the past, now I use a pressure washer, so much easier and quicker.
I'm looking at a polar brite pressure washer.
