Trad Pole above Consveratory
« on: April 06, 2010, 07:59:48 am »
What length pole should I be looking at to do the windows above a conservatory?  Got a few custies who ask me when I am going to be able to do them.  Also what is the best type and technique?

i use a 6m. pulex pole that is a 3 parter , 2 metres each section.  i got it online i think it was under £30 . 

for the most part i use only the first2 sections, i put a small ladder agenst the side of conservatory and pole the window above while standing on it. this makes the job Really easy

 Use a wagtail flipper on my pole ,it works great

one thing i always look for when im ready to start is what the con roof is made of,some are made of thin glass so be careful not to bang your pole anywhere near it

Will my Unger applicator and Squeege work with that?  What website was that?

as long as your squeegee is a swivel  type it will work good. it MUST  be a swivel squeegee to do pole work . i believe i bought the pulex pole from  Allclean ,  i remember i bought it cos it was the very cheapest 6 metre pole . Allclean have a very big website

Mine is not a swivel type so will not work.  Also they are not that price anymore.
