So i decided long ago to ditch doing skylights as i can barley reach them (on 2 storey houses) on a small stepladder without the sagging pole catching the roof! So it occurred to me... Do i need a gooseneck so the sagging pole will not catch the roof?

Might help bud.
Or a stiffer pole.

Gardiners 90 degree carbon gooseneck
Very expensive but works very well

stiffer pole AND a carbon gooseneck mate.

the normal 45 or 55 degree gooseneck will do.keep it on your pole at all times instead of putting it on just for skylights so your not wasting time when you could be cleaning.

the 90 degree gooseneck is good for solar panel cleaning though on longer poles.

i find the Xtreme poles with carbon goosenecks fantastic for both skylights and solar panels.

I use a slx30 with 55 degree gooseneck and do them no problem

Thanks for all the great advice everyone!

I also have the slx30 so i think if i intend to do anymore skylight or especially if i start getting solar panel cleans i'll invest in a gooseneck.

Thanks again

Ive just got 2 extensions for my slx30  to use for solar panels, just pop them on when needed
