Do you mean Velux  and dormers? 

I have a 35ft viper and that just reaches some of them .

my 27 reaches most dormers, as for Velux I do them from inside, I explain I can't do them from outside so if not in I can't do them. Most people don't think about them anyway when you quote.

To be honest I don’t know what velux and formers are please educate me [emoji15]

Pictures are always helpful on here as someone will have cleaned the type you're talking about. If the said Windows are sat back from the gutters then a long gooseneck will make them much easier to reach.

Just googled and it is formers

Dormers? Because if it is "formers" I definitely need a picture. Predictive text by any chance  :1f644:

Dormer windows  :1f603:  and velux's , For some houses to get velux's on a roof you will need a 32-35ft pole from level ground not sloping off and ideally a carbon pole as clx will be a struggle to handle no doubt

we all carry just two poles in the vans 22slxs and 47ft extremes theres no need for anything else unless your hitting the bigger work then we send in the big guns with the ultermite poles ,

save , beg , do what you have to get a ex47 and you will never look back shame you have wasted money the buying extensions already its not the way to go for easy high work

Windows are set back I could reach the top but not the bottom as set back

CLX-22 with extensions is quite difficult to control. You need a more rigid pole at this height - Gardiners Extreme or SLX.

Sounds like you need one of these to get to the set back windows.

These will help you, the biggest aren't the easiest to use though.

I also carry a CLX-10 which I use for approximately half of my work (mainly bungalows). Brilliant little pole - also saves wear & tear on my 22.
