[THL4KEL]

Hey guys went and had a look at this earlier on. What size pole do you think it would take to get to the skylights?

35'

Depending how tall you are you might get them with a 27', 35' would comfortably get them.

ide say get a 47ft pole that will then cover any high work u may pick up as well but ide say 35ft/40 ft would reach that

I'm 5 10 and my pole is a Gardiner slx 27

Probably need an extension

27 won't reach, I've got a 27 I'm 6ft and I cant get near one

Personally reaching over that conservatory ide use a 47 I recon its further than it initially appears

Not just better to say , sorry I can't reach those windows than fork out £500 for another pole

35'

Or tell them to flip them and do from inside  :1f44d:

thats one thing i had to think about a long time ago do i fork out for one or to jobs or turn away ! well i forked out and more high work came in so its defo worth having to poles a short 25 or less for standerd houses and a big 47ft + for big stuff

I hear ye Tench, but where does it all end,, you got to draw a line somewhere or the spending on new toys is endless! But if you are going to target work above 3 storie then fair play.

I got a massive pole but I put wd40 on it thinking it would losen it up but now quite a few sections are jammed on it.. Think it was 60ft..

The windows are about 25' high, with the angle 35' max. I'm 6'5" with reach approximately 8'. Im fairly certain I'd reach them with my 27'. Easiest way would be to put your biggest pole up and see if it would reach.

A 32ft pole might just get it, But if you are set on getting them done then you will have to buy 2 slx extensions to be 100% certain you are able to get them taking your 27ft slx to a 37ft pole.

I have a house like that and I reach with a Slx22 and a couple of extensions make mine a total of slx30 just about.

I have put extension 7 and 8 on my soon to buy shopping list.
