Help Support WCF:

the extensions are the also the best poles for hoovering gutters so 7 poles yeah why not, i knows you all jealous! 

my best client a school, has a roof made of glass the size of two football fields, its flat and i clean it from the side no walking on glass, it was red at first with rust so i gave it a super clean killed all the moss too using ........lol  for those who need it use HG limescale remover i use an overspray and hand trig it on as needed with a weed spray bottle, now the roof is blue and lets in sunshine!! i did 3 deep cleans before lockdown and now im broke i left my clients to clean schools

buy yourself an extreme pole you will see im right but dont use it for small jobs its way too flimsy 

i clean the fourth floor over a 3ft recess using one hand, in London the mansions are very tall i have no need to exaggerate dont feel wounded when an expert gives you good correct advise on poles 

dont buy a pole that bends it wont work as good as a gardiner can ionics are rubbish

Somebody who can clean a glass roof the size of two football fields without walking on the glass must drink a lot of Red Bull. ?

Very sorry but I can't actually believe someone comes on here asking for advice how to clean up to 90'. If you don't know how to do it safely I suggest you walk away from the job

=====================================

you should hush up mate save calling people out you know nothing about high poles

I have a few Xtremes thanks and whilst I don't claim to do anything above 60' I am not calling anyone out and I'm definitely not wounded ?. All I said was I'd like to see it, your claim of "easily cleaning windows at 100'. If you can't prove it it's very hard for anyone to believe your claim.

I've just spent 2 days working in London, Thursday we did 5 blocks, 4 of them 4 floors and one 5 floors. Unfortunately it was to windy on Friday to do 7, 4 floor blocks, in Uxbridge so I'm down again Monday morning

 
its easy to tie a length of para-cord to the brush and loop it back to the ground!! 

You need to reinforce the clamps so you dont pull the brush apart but as long as you can tie a string its not going to topple cmon its not rocket science 

maybe im the worlds best lol but get off my back about it i dont need to prove nothing the proof is written

extreme poles are all i use......a 25 ft main pole  and 47 footer for higher jobs.......i dont go any higher than 47 ft...i wouldnt want to if im being honest......

the 47 footer ive had for nearly 10 years now as it only gets used a few times a month...my main xtreme 25 gets its top 3 sections replaced every 12-18 months(sections 4 and 5 last a lot longer)....best poles for making my working day as easy as possible

 
all you need to do is buy slx poles then mix them with the extreme poles and add extensions i already wrote it 

slx are stronger poles! and buy yourself an extension so you can clean it better and add 8lt water pump not 5lt you wont have enough water with 5lt pump  then when you got extensions and slx you wont break poles, i only use top two extreme poles for 80 ft type jobs

I'm six feet four, devastatingly handsome and built like a brick outhouse. Honest!

It must be true cos it's written here.?

Of course a bit of video footage from a smart phone (who hasn't got access to one these days?) would soon settle the matter.?

 
yeah i just spray them at that height think ive only ever done it once or twice, i give them a reach around after keep things spotless it makes good sense to hide the slim poles and work with the thick ones when possible. the extension poles are thick and just as light i love it when people hold one it has no weight at all, i pretend its heavy then i pass it to them its an amazing pole the extensions are Boss
