i use the 3 section unger teleplus pole.i have got another 2 sections to make it a 30ft pole!but ive yet to use the last big section!i just pop my  T MOP on the end and soap up then my squeegy(which is a swivelock,very handy for awkward angles} then detail with microfibre in the unger fixiclamp.takes a while to get quick and do an adequate job but essential for the single trad window cleaner IMO.much safer for windows above wet decking,mossy/gravel sloping drives.above porches.even above conny roofs if u get the swivel squeegy!great bit of kit.look at some of my backposts on tips for using trad poles! ;) ;)

best wishes

I use a Harris pole with Wagtail on.  At first you'll need practice, but you will get the hang of it.  As said you can even do over conservatory roofs.  The only bits I have problems with are the narrow top openers.
