What types of clotheslines do you install?

We install all common types: rotary hoists (Hills, Austral, Daytek), fold-down clotheslines (wall and ground-mounted), retractable lines, ceiling-mounted indoor lines, and heritage replacement parts. We can recommend the best style for your space.

Do you supply the clothesline or should I buy one?

Either works. We can source from local suppliers at trade pricing, or install one you've purchased from Bunnings, Lincraft or online. Let us know your preference when we quote.

Is concrete work included in the installation?

Yes, for rotary hoists and ground-mounted units we include the concrete footing in our standard install — typically a 300mm-deep, 200mm-wide pour. The price ranges above include this work.

How long does clothesline installation take?

Wall-mounted units: 1–2 hours, single visit. Rotary hoists: 2–4 hours plus 24–48 hours for the concrete to cure before the line takes load. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.

Can you remove my old clothesline?

Absolutely. We can remove old units as part of the install, including cutting out the old concrete footing where required. Add roughly $120–$250 to the install cost depending on what's there.

What's the best location for a clothesline?

Northerly aspect with afternoon sun, clear of trees, and somewhere you don't mind walking to. We'll assess your yard and suggest the best spot. While we're there, ask about our pressure cleaning to freshen up your outdoor areas.

Quick Answer

How does professional clothesline installation work in East Maitland?

A standard rotary hoist install takes 2–4 hours: we mark the position, dig a 300mm post hole, set the ground sleeve into a concrete footing, then return after 24–48 hours of cure to fit the head, arms and lines. Wall-mounted fold-downs and retractable lines are quicker — typically a single 1–2 hour visit using suitable masonry, fibre-cement or weatherboard fixings. We install every common Australian brand (Hills, Austral, Daytek, Eco, Versaline), supply trade-priced units if you'd prefer, remove old clotheslines and footings, and re-line existing frames where the structure is still sound.

When do most people need a clothesline installer?

Six situations cover almost every clothesline call we get — from first-home buyers in new estates through to landlords swapping out a tired old Hills Hoist between tenants.

First-Home & New-Build Setup

Most new homes in Thornton, Rutherford and Metford estates are handed over without a clothesline — the developer leaves it to the buyer. We can spec, supply and install the right unit for your block size in a single visit.

Old Hills Hoist Past Its Best

Wires sagging, head unit seized, paint flaking, footing concrete crumbling. Decades of Hunter weather take their toll. Often cheaper to remove and replace than to repair.

Wrong Size for the Yard

Rotary too big for the available swing radius, or fold-down too small for a family of five. We size the clothesline to your yard so you actually use it.

Tight Courtyards & Townhouses

Modern Maitland townhouses often have only a small paved courtyard. A wall-mounted fold-down or retractable line gives you usable drying space without losing the courtyard.

Renovation & Landscaping Changes

Putting in a deck, pool, or shed where the clothesline used to be? We relocate the line, including cutting out the old footing and pouring a new one in the new spot. Often paired with a <a href='/services/pressure-cleaning' class='text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-700 font-semibold'>pressure clean</a> of the surrounding paving while we're on site.

Strata, Rentals & Investment Properties

Quick turnaround installations for landlords and property managers — we handle the lot from purchase to install with proof-of-installation photos for your records.

Types of clotheslines we install

Choosing the right type comes down to yard size, sun direction and how often you use it. Here are the units we install most often, with notes on where each works best.

Rotary Hoist (Hills Hoist Style)

The Australian classic. 4-arm rotary line, ground-mounted in a concrete footing. Best for medium to large yards. Capacities range from 30m to 60m+ of line.

Fold-Down Wall-Mounted

Mounts to an external wall, fence or post. Folds flat when not in use. Ideal for courtyards, patios and smaller yards where a rotary won't fit.

Retractable Wall-to-Post Lines

Single-line or multi-line retractable units that extend across an opening and rewind when finished. Almost invisible when stowed.

Ground-Mounted Fold-Down

Heavy-duty fold-down units mounted on a single concrete footing. Better capacity than wall-mounts where a free-standing solution is needed.

Ceiling-Mounted Indoor Lines

Pull-down or retractable indoor lines for laundries, garages and undercover areas — useful in winter or rented apartments where outdoor lines aren't allowed.

Heritage & Replacement Parts

Replacement lines, head-units, spinners and end caps for older Hills, Austral, Daytek, Eco and Versaline units — no need to replace the whole clothesline if the frame is sound.
