Best poles to use for Domestic houses

[Elliott randall]

Hi all. I am looking for the best pole on the market for 2 story domestic cleaning and the odd window above conservatories. Any help would be great. Thanks

An Slx25 or Slx27 from Gardiners.

The last pole I had for 9 years was an Slx22. I'm glad I upgraded it to an Slx27 as I now can reach almost everything on the round.

I found the 22ft poles perfect for domestic 18’s can be bit short I found 25’s bit long and awkward for ground flore windows my set up is a 18ft and 25ft that covers my domestic and commercial I also have a 47ft for the high stuff

I use a slx 22.
Have no problems reaching any 2 story houses with conservatorys.

Extensions can be another matter though but even then generally I need the 27 if the 22 is not long enough.

Also wight is a factor as is collapsed length. The 22 is short when collapsed and light meaning I'm faster and can maintain my increased speed throughout the day

I'm 5ft tall and a 22ft pole does most of my jobs including cleaning above conny's and some extensions from the side then I have a 27ft pole for higher work and ones that need the extra reach over extensions

I went for a pathom 18 as it’s lite and can be bashed about that’s my every day pole it’s been a good pole to be fair I wasn’t keen on it at first few things I’m not keen on one is the gouse neck is stuck in pole but I added the gardeners quick lock buy unscrewing the cog the other thing I don’t like is in the sections there is these things that the univalve won’t go through so it’s a pain to change the hose . Other pole is xline nano this pole gets very lite use but I’m not keen on the clamps and sections don’t slide easy but it’s nice pole to use I may change clamps to facelift ones

 

[tench0771]

Think I may try pathom himod 25 next or boss pole

 

[tench0771]

I would steer clear of the phoenix x poles they were out to quick slx are good but black hands and clamps needing glueing is a pain in the ars

I’m guessing you mean Phantom pole by Facelift.

Yes

I have an 18 and 25 in van all the time and hits all the right areas. When I do 2 flats I need my 35 foot pole but only once every two months. Wouldn't like to replace the 3 poles if they went missing. Always wear tru touch gloves so my hands don't get wet or dirty.

I'm 4ft tall and a 22ft pole does most of my jobs including cleaning above conny's and some extensions from the side then I have a 27ft pole for higher work and ones that need the extra reach over extensions you could make some stilts haha

Are they Gardiner poles?

I'm going to get a gardiner, does the slx 25 or 27 have enough reach for residential?

 

[Mattlekim]

I use the slx 22 for my residential work.
I do windows above conservatory and 3 story windows with it. It's on limit with 3 story work but I like the extra lightness of the 22. 25 will easily do 3 story, but with a big conservatory on a 3 story house you would need a 27

Thanks, just getting equipment around me will take this onboard

25 should do most including most 3 storey depending on the slope of the land etc

 

[scottish cleaning service]

I run with an 18' and a 25' which gets me 99% of my work.

Personally wouldn't use anything above 22ft as a daily pole I then have a 27ft for the awkward large extension and 3 storey townhouses, but I also need to use a 45ft for some residential jobs purely for the velux's on townhouses

 

[Daftoldgit]

My 18' is ok for nearly all my 2 storey work, including over conservatoys, but there a couple of exceptions where I use a 27'

I wonder why poles never went metric?
