My SLX 25 only just reaches 2nd floor windows now because when i upgraded the clamps i cut too much off the pole oops ;D ;D

I'll have to order a extension section for it

BIG BIG mistake,  never cut the pole rather cut the clamps.  Use a hacksaw.  I did that last year and now my pole is stuffed,  its keeps splitting on the end and breaking.

never again....

I took about 3-4 inches of each section to remove the worn parts and to be honest it will be the last time i do it, i would rather have a nice new shinny pole  ;D ;D

The slx 25 is now a slx 22 great for every day work but not big enough for second floor and above.

I take it you mean ground, 1st, 2nd floor as in three storeys total and the upper storey is no longer reachable?
It's a game of three halves!
