Summary
Removing an old Hills clothesline in Flat Bush required digging out a concreted-in base and completing a careful clothesline installation using the new plastic sleeve supplied with the unit. The backyard was a flat surface with easy access to water and power, and the customer specifically requested the sleeve be set in concrete for long-term stability. The job attracted 4 offers and was assigned for $300. The handyman excavated the concrete around the existing post, pulled the stubborn base free, fitted the new Hills clothesline into its plastic sleeve and backfilled with fresh concrete to secure it. The customer rated the work 5/5, praising clear communication, punctual arrival, neat and tidy workmanship and that the area was left immaculate. The completed clothesline removal and installation in Flat Bush, Auckland resolved the concreting challenge and left a stable, ready-to-use line for the customer's backyard.

Mark is great in every way. Communication was perfect, showed up when he said he would and did such neat & tidy work. It was a big job digging up concrete, pulling out the old line & replacing it with the new line and fresh concrete. He left the space immaculate. 200% would use Mark again!

Located In Flatbush, Auckland. The existing hills clothesline needs to be taken out of the hole it is currently sitting in, in the ground. There seems to be a sleeve it is in, but it must be concreted in. We have tried to pull it out ourselves but it won't budge. We have already purchased a new hills clothesline, which we'd like put back in where the old one is currently. It is brand new, came with a plastic type sleeve for in ground use, but we think the new sleeve is supposed to be concreted in for stability. It is located in our back yard, flat surface right next to the concrete pad, easy access to water & power. We're hoping there's an expert out there that can help get our old clothesline out, and new clothesline up and running. And most importantly, stable. Thank you
