Gardner poles, brushes & accessories

[Greener]

Hi all,

OK so it seems to me that the gardner poles are the most popular poles to use, so my question is what would you all recommend is the best size poles and brushes for a man to get? I will mainly be cleaning domestic two/three storie town houses, conservatories, fascias and gutters?

Thanks in advance

Greener

I have clx 18, but i only do 1st floor type houses, i use the sill brush in that first video, it is good for getting in different nooks and crannies and u can getbthe sill as well as the name indicates. I have pencil jets, a resi neck angle adapter so the brish head swivels, i also have an aqua dapter which costs an additional £50 quid ish and u need a pole adapter as well so it fits on the gardiner poles.

I got a CLX18 and a SLX25 with ext#6 to make it into a SLX30

Good combo as you can use the CLX18 for everyday use and knock it out, while saving the dearer SLX for the taller jobs.

How do find the CLX-18 @PTWC? Is it a bit whippy? I've thought about getting one for standard houses.

 

[PTWC]

Well I think its OK.

But I would not go for a longer CLX.

Its a lot better than the Unger 17 I had before.

But when I use the SLX I really notice the difference (love it).

slx 22 great pole use it 90% of time

very seldom have to get the 25ft out

 

[Greener]

I was thinking of possibiliy getting the 18 for the two stories houses and the 25 for the three stories, although I wander if I could just get away with using the 22 for both? What do think? Duncs how do you find using the 22 on the taller houses?

I'm with PTWC and use the same poles, got to say i love my slx25 :h:

As for the clx being whippy Tuffers, i thought CNC had been near my van and swapped it for his banana :rofl:, you certainly notice a difference between the two poles

 

[cheapncheerful]

like it andy w...but the bend is nice when you need to get above a conny if you rest on the gutter...i havent got a gooseneck yet...

 

[andy w]

Knowing you CNC you will probably pull the gutter off :rofl::rofl:

 

[cheapncheerful]

so far so good....but...them internal gutter brackets...do break easy...i think...i dont know as i am :iaminnocent:

Its the plastic bits on the end of window ledges for me, not that i have knocked any out i always discreetly push them back in :hehehe::hehehe:
