This is the carpet cleaning section mate.

You might want to try a gutter vac type of machine and attachment.

ive seen the gutter type machines bit expensive for a one off job, was thinking more on the lines of a numatic machine

a numatic should do. You wont need that much suction to remove cob webs. You'll need something with a bit of reach for the ceiling. Or a long hose and a ladder lol

Maybe someone in the general cleaning section might know.

Barry,

I use the one in the link below for vacuuming high curtains and fabric walling. It is basically a numatic machine with an added vacuum power control. If you want cheaper just buy the numatic version without the vacuum control.

Take a 3 x 2mtr extension pole remove the end cap and squeeze a 12" flat aluminium mop frame with Velcro strips onto the end, stick a dry waffle microfiber cloth onto the Velcro strips and proceed to wipe the cloth against the surface you want to dedust, for removing light soils and sticky cobwebs just use a lightly damp waffle microfiber cloth, if you have large areas to clean and dust just have enough cloths with you to carry out the work.
