I have this one house that has a dormer window, there's a flat roof above the window and all the rain water drips down on to the glass bringing moss and :turd: which then dries on the glass. It's near on impossible to scrub off using WFP. I forgot that I had one of these on the van, so I gave it a go today QuicK-LoQ™ Taper Cone Adapter - For Traditional Tools - Gooseneck Parts - Goosenecks & Pole Fittings - Water-Fed Poles - All Products Gardiner Pole Systems

My go to problem solver is a tube of mastic (which reminds me i need to buy some more)

Forever knocking off the silly ends on sills so a quick squirt and fixed

The best gadget i have ever seen is by @Damo

His gate unlocker gadget should be patented

Lol don't tell me you use a squeegee as well./emoticons/biggrin.png.

Seriously though that is a good idea. I didn't realise that attatchment existed. Good for porcupine or ettore scrub pad. I take it you WFP after?

Yes, WFP after, it would be rude not to :rofl:

 
Got a link to the hooks mate? Do they fit in the holes that are already in the beam or did you drill them?
I haven't no, they was on ebay I got them about 3 years ago.

B and Q do similar ones but need to bed over the flat bit to make it fit on the roof.

I had to drill the holes and used toggle bolts to hold them in place, as I find these the safest especially if they come loose then they will never fall off.

 
"its a tight fit in that box at the back. you could tip the van upside down and it wont slip out."

blimey i thought I had clicked on a porn site for split second there !
