Velux Opener
 

Any bright ideas for an out-of-reach Velux window opener? £20 plus seems a bit
steep.

How far does it have to reach?

How about one of those litter pickers (if long enough). Would need to
be a fairly strong one, not cheapo Aldi type.

I can do that, but it's a bit of a lean from the landing, over the staircase
to the window. It would need to be about 4' long, and approximate the claw
type arrangement of the devices on sale. Can't think how to improvise the claw
though.

If the window is like the one I fitted - A near full width bar, to open
the trickle vent, or pull a bit harder and it swings open.....

A wooden broom, screw one of those pound shop large red hooks in it
(intended for hanging ladders etc.), to open it. Use the other end of
the broom to close it.

I made one froma length of broom handle and a modified brass coat hook.

We have a plastic boat hook on the end of an alloy pole which was intended
for using a paint roller (or window washing stuff).

Hook end for opening.
Rubber bung end for closing.
