you need a bungalow pole.
easy
go in wilkos buy a £1.67 broom
angle adaptor and brush £25 ish
get some hose etc then you have a 3 ft pole nice and light about £5
cheap to do aswell
if you want it better put a trigger or tap on it!

If you have an old pole or have had to replace a first section because it has split just cut off the threaded bit at the end and about 30cm of pole to make a short handle. Them wrap a bit of gaffer tape round it to make a proper handle. Result -  A very very short WFP.

I made a pole from an aluminium telescopic mop handle, took the plastic thread part off an old brush handle and it fitted perfectly.

i will add pics soon of bungyy pole
Ive been to pure freedom to get a tap and some hose.
 Basically a wilkos cheap £1.67 pole
already had a spare angle adaptor.
Had a spare brodex brush so put that straight on to angle adaptor.
The angle adaptor fits straight on where the old brush head went on the wilkos.
Drill a hole into pole,push hose through
add tap obviously optinal and connect and off you go as easy as that.
Shouldnt cost you no more than £25 and you have a nice light pole for bungalows and all downstairs windows.
