I will go out on a limb here and say that a 'true' 35ft pole would reach the top windows as long as the ground did not fall away at all. I have used a true 25ft pole (SL-X) on similar third level windows so an extra 10ft should get you to the top level.

isn't it a normal guide to estimate each floor by adding 10ft? thats how i normally handle jobs and it works easy enough.

so for 4 floors use a 40ft pole?

50ft but i would buy a 60 footer  ;)

I’m having a bad day can’t judge any kind of height been getting the wrong size poles out all day and not extending them enough  :-[

I will now revise my original estimation to 40-40ft

I reckon similar. Just over 30ft.  ;D
That car roof is about 4ft off the ground. Each floor around 8ft i reckon.

30 foot pole would probably just about get it, but if thee want to play it safe go for the nxt one up.

Most of the time this is the case other than from the ground up in most cases,i would be confident in going to that job with 5 sections of the SL2 knowing that it would reach.

40ft height. 10ft per domestic floor including ceiling joists/girders/services.
It's a game of three halves!

Count the bricks and divide by four.  That's the building height in feet.  The rest I'm sure you can figure out - i.e. allowing for the working angle and a bit of reach.
