Doc, i don't know what price would be from eastern trading direct would be, Omni vac poles are 'semi' telescopic ie. a smaller dia pipe fits inside the larger and is then clamped.

those have a swayged end so are modular,  if you just looking to get cheap vac poles you could bye the ali tube from a supplier like Smiths metals - they would cut them into 1 or 2 meter lengths - get the clamps froma hardware store and you could have 50 ft of pipe for less than 50 quid
