Anyone recommend telescopic pole and scraper/brush for moss on roof?

I think the issue is that standard extension poles over here use the EU standard, while the docapole has US standards.

Must be possible to use an adapter to go from one to tother?

Yes, I forgot, despite posting about the adaptor earlier. Good point!

I couldn't find an adapter I could touch and feel before I bought so improvised with an old brush head that I attached some metal strips to and then attached to docopole with good old gaffa tape.

How did you attach an old brush head to the pole? I presume the old brush head had a hole that the docapole inserted into and you just used the gaffa tape to keep it in place? I'm thinking if I had a wooden brush head, would that be too heavy for the end of the docapole.

If you think a stiff brush will do rather than a n a scraper, there is a docapole attachment

I have used this it's ok has a little bit of a tendency to try to unscrew off the docapole and tricky to use with a 6m docapole fully extended using above roof from an upstairs window. If you were on a ladder at gutter level and using extended only 3-4m (then moving ladder along to do different sections of roof) it would be easy.

I read a review where some guy said he thought the docazoo brushes were too soft, but he tried a nylon brush one from draper. It is arriving this afternoon so will have the opportunity to test it out. Not sure about the thread, but the review guy used it so somehow he has gotten it to work.

It seems surprising that there is not an attachment for moss removal considering it is a universal type pole.

And my pole has just been delivered! I'm using it to clear the gutters too.
