Opening Velux windows?

[Luckycharm]

I Got velux windows a couple of months back they are quite high up and I need a ladder to open them. Does anyone know is there any kind of special pole with a hook you can get to open them - I asked in B&Q and they did not anything. I know I won't be opening them much in the next couple of months but would be alot easier then having to go the shed each time to get ladder to open and close them. They are too high to stand on a chair to open.

Ring velux themselves as they have a telescopic pole and also they have a cord that will open very high windows (have this system myself in a en-suite and it works a treat).

These are not on their website, had to get cord's for my mum a few weeks ago and had to ring directly to the office.

You can get electric opener ( a real treat ) and also electric battery operated blinds.

We made one ourselves and it works perfectly fine. Buy an ordinary sweeping brush handle and screw in a fairly large hook into the end of the handle. Costs a couple of euro and actually works!
