24 ft fibre-glass pole should be sufficient, 30 ft more than adequate.
£200 or less for cheaper end of market
£400 - £500 for the newer extra-light poles

Buy a 18ft facelift pole for your domestic work and for your 3 storey work you can buy add on sections for the facelift pole which could take you up to 36ft which should do the 3 storey wrk.
Also a great addition is the excell glass fibre 3x3ft pole. Excellent for ground floor work and when fully extended can reach 9ft plus the height of you.
Rough prices for the poles without looking on the net are as follows.
1. facelift 18ft pole = £199-£260
2. Add on sections = £50-£80
3. 3x3ft excell = £50-£80
Hope that is of some use to you?

I would go same as above but a 3x4 excel. Because you can use that on small houses aswell as just groung floor stuff. The 3x3 is probably only any good for ground floor.
24" facelift.
12" excel.
If i was starting again thats what I would get.

Never found the bristles to fall out on my facelift and i've been using it on domestic for 6 month now. You should phone up the supplier you purchased it from and i'm sure they will replace it as it sounds faulty to me!

facelift, but carbon, it is worth the extra pennys. buy at 24ft, its so lite you can do the bottoms with it at 90 degrees no probs, plus you can still buy extra sections to add on later if you require more height.

I just posted a similar question, my work is like that.
What suppliers are there for water fed poles? I've seen a few at Windex last year, but are there others, perhaps a bit cheaper?
Skint flint, I know!

hi all
have just ordered a preditor pole from brodex. 4 section working to 24' (plus my height) list 166. plus vat and delivery takes it to £202. wanted it as a spare as i can be a bit heavy handed and im frightened i will break my current one.
with a bit of haggleing and loads of their goodwill i got it for £135. delivered.
thanks to pat at brodex and it shows there are deals to be had!
