Looking to get another pole soon as the one i use is fibreglass anyone recommend a pole that is reasonably light and is good value for money..

Any of the X-Tel poles fish4fun. They are reasonably priced, long lasting & pretty light to use all day. Shop around for them though, as the prices can vary by more than a few quid.

Are the x-tel fibreglass poles worth buying or should i go for carbon fibre jd.

They are worth buying mate, ive had mine for quite sometime now and its really up to the job, long lasting, light enough to use etc. Check out www.surecleansystems, they are hard to beat on price and service.

jd was your pole fibreglass or carbonfibre.

Its lightweight Glass/Carbon fibre mix

WILL HAVE A LOOK at the website jd.

Checked the website surecleansystems and found it dear for the 30 ft Xtel Hybrid Pole found window cleaning warehouse prices really good.

Its very unusual that surecleansystems are a lot more expensive than windowcleaningwarehouse! Is definately the same pole? I would phone Arthur at sureclean & mention it to him fish4fun. Im sure he would at least match the price and the service he provides is the best ive come across.

Check the windowcleaning warehouse price jd free delivery with the poles also.

Ive been on and had a look at those poles being sold on each website fish4fun. As you say, the one in windowcleaningwarehouse is much better priced. I am surprised that their is such a big price difference, i always find Arthurs products the cheapest or at the very least similar in price. I actually think Arthur has put the wrong prices for his poles on his website, as i have purchased from him in the past and his prices were better than anyone else! However thats a great price that wcw have, so go for it mate, its a terrific pole. I bought the 24ft one which extends to approx 27ft, its pretty handy when you need to reach those hard to reach windows which are above flat roofs or are 3 storey. It saves you having to go into the van and get a different pole for the higher ones, as the 24ft pole reaches 95% of all the domestic windows.

LOOKING FOR A POLE AROUND 30 FT MARK JD,i have some fascias to do and they can be pretty sore on the arms when using the fibreglass pole.

Go for the 27ft one on wcw then fish4fun. It has a approx working height of 32ft or so. But as you say, a bit heavy for prolonged use, especially on fasciias! If you want the very light poles to reach 30ft or more then your talking big wonga!

Sounds like a game that I need to get into JD - supplying the mega light poles that reach more than 30ft - what sort of prices are you talking??

Hiya Mark. Ye can get facelift poles that reach 60 - 70ft. One with a 30ft reach would roughly set you back £700 - £800. Its pretty light at approx 4kgs though & they are pretty strong im told and robust. The weight includes your brush & hosing. Or the wcw slightly heavier poles would set you back around £400 or so, but they would be sore on you for prolonged use! Do shop around though as the prices can sometimes vary considerably, as fish4fun is finding out.

Yeah i will go for the hybrid poles as the full carbon poles are very pricey indeed.
Will only buy a carbon pole if i am doing work around 60 feet or over regularly.

I think you do right fish4fun......

Got new hybrid extel pole 2day will try out next week

I think youll be pleased with your purchase fish4fun. keep us posted.....
