Otherwise have a look at the Unger poles from Cleaningspot and others.

We use a two section 9FT X-tel pole with a vikan brush head for ground floor windows, conservatories, conservatory roofs from a ladder, we even used it to clean some soffits today from a ladder that were set back a metre from the fascia boards.

Why not use an Unger 2x1m alu, you could cut it down if you wished OR cut down the £15 Harris pole  8)

Is is just me?

I can see the sense in paying lots of money for 45 foot plus poles where lightness and rigidity are vital.

I can see the sense in paying out lots of money for 20 odd foot "everyday" poles where lightness and strength make you more productive and less tired at the end of a busy day.

But I can't for the life of me see the sense in paying out vast quantities of cash for rigidity and lightness for a 7 foot pole that you might use once a day for 20 minutes at the most. A £1.70 wooden broom handle would do the job just as well!

Cut down an old pole. Poles tend to wear out at the end where they are clamped 90% of the time (ie fully extended) so the bit in the middle is fine

;D me as well If I wanted a short pole that is what I would do, I have enough old trad poles lying about that would do the job for free
