40ft water fed poles
A "40ft pole" can mean a pole 40ft long, or one that gets you 40ft up. We sell both. Here are the 5 carbon fibre poles that fit, side by side.
Poles around 40ft long
Poles that reach about 40ft
Shorter poles with a working height of about 40ft, for when 40ft up is as high as you go.
Compare 40ft poles
Working height is about the pole length plus 6ft, because you hold the pole above your head.

Choosing a 40ft pole
Pole length or working height?
Measure the highest window you clean, from the ground. That is the working height you need. Then take off about 6ft for your own height and arms, and that is the pole length.
So if your top windows are about 40ft up, a 34ft pole will do it. Go longer only if you need to reach further.
Anti-Spin at 40ft
Anti-Spin is a key built into the pole itself, so the sections stay keyed together instead of twisting in your hands. It does not rely on the clamps to do it.
In this size, Anti-Spin comes on the UltraReach 40R Anti-Spin 8-Section. The others on this page are built without it.
Water, brushes and hose
A pole this long needs a steady supply of pure water at the top. See our water fed pole systems for pumps, controllers and filters.
Brushes, goosenecks and hose are sold separately, on the water fed pole brushes page.
Safety at height
Every pole we sell has two insulated bottom sections. That is a last line of defence, not protection: no pole is safe near overhead lines, and a 40ft pole reaches a long way. Read our overhead power line safety guidance before you extend.

Questions
Asked before buying.
An 18ft pole covers standard two-storey residential work. 25ft gives you comfortable reach for taller facades and conservatories, and 33ft and above is built for commercial work — shop fronts, offices and three-storey residential. If you are between two, tell us about your round and we will point you at the right one.
See for yourself: our Facebook page has a back-to-back test of the UltraReach pole against the Gardiner SLX.
Our patented Anti-Spin system is built into the pole itself, like a woodruff key. It stops the sections rotating or twisting under load — so the pole stays aligned, the clamps do not wear, and you waste no time repositioning at height.
No. Every Reach Pole has two insulated bottom sections tested to 80kV, and that test is real, but it is a last line of defence and not permission to work near overhead lines. Electricity arcs. In April 2024 a window cleaner lost his forearm to a 33,000-volt flashover that jumped around two metres to his pole without ever touching the cable, and no insulation rating on any pole would have stopped it. Water on a pole makes it worse, not better. The only thing that keeps you safe near overhead lines is distance — look up before you extend, and if there are lines anywhere near the job, do not work there. See our overhead power line safety page.
