 I have just put a price in for a large block of flats, if I get the job I will require a pole of about 40ft, can anyone recommend a decent pole of this length that isn't going to break the bank?

harris extention "dont tell me this has not crossed your mind" you could always look on buy & sell section and get one second hand to get you by, or ebay.

Nice to see you back by the way

I guessed that someone would say Harris pole extension!! I have had my harris pole up to about 30ft, using a number1 extension, and a 7ft number4 (i think) which worked ok although it wasn't ideal, I think 40ft would be pushing it a bit though!! Saying that I have been considering using the thickest section on 5 or 6  harris poles to make a modular pole that would probably work well at that kind of height! I will let you know how that one works, and there may even be another video!!!    It's good to be back Ian! thankyou.

hello groundhog have missed you upsetting the upper classes of the
window cleaning forum.

jeff brimble i think uses a maver f16 pole £249 from one of the fishing
tackle sites i could be wrong but im sure this gets him well over forty feet
im sure he will be on here at some point to give facts if interested

i got my poles to  42 ft

a cut and paste from the DIY forum

a Reload ( well it was a reload with a few spare bits )

i combined the reload with TWO Zensorflex's ( mainly the base sections )

measured it at 42 ft

im well chuffed

price for new poles, 140 quid ( thats TWO reloads and TWO zensorflex ) though to be honest i looked at it and you could do it with THREE Zensorflex and ONE reload ( thus 95 quid ) infact im going to try and do it tomorrow

i never did get around to trying it with the 3 ZF and 1 reload

but for 140 quid, a 42 ft pole, you cannot complain

Thanks Gary and Matt!! Whats a reload though? is it a fishing pole?

yes

it was called the Ron thompsom reload, its now called the ron thompsom gangsta ( same pole, new name )

i tried it at 42 ft, it was controllable and lightweight, i use it once a fortnight at 36 ft and its fine
