Washing line removed, posts dug out, holes filled and levelled. Garden left tidy, ready for new owners or whatever you're planning next.
### Clear the Garden Before You Go
Moving out and the **washing line's staying behind** - or maybe it's broken and you want it gone. Posts need digging out, holes filling, and the whole lot disposing of properly.
I'll get it removed completely. Rotary dryers unbolted and lifted out, traditional post-to-post lines dismantled, posts dug up. Holes backfilled and levelled so the garden looks tidy for the next owner or for your rental checkout.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Check before removing - some buyers expect washing lines to be left, especially if it's a nice rotary dryer. Might be worth leaving it unless they've specifically said they don't want it.

Good to Know
> 🏡 **Selling your house?** Check with your solicitor or estate agent before removing the washing line. Most buyers expect one to be left unless it's specifically excluded from the sale. **Want to keep it?** If it's a rotary dryer you want to take to your new place, I can dig it out carefully so the socket is undamaged. Traditional lines aren't usually worth moving. **Rental checkout?** If your tenancy requires the garden to be clear or returned to original condition, this is worth doing properly. Landlords notice half-removed washing lines with posts sticking out and holes everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions about Washing line removal in Dawlish
Can I take the washing line to my new house?
If it's a rotary dryer with a socket fitting, yes - I can dig it out and you can take it with you. Traditional post-to-post lines don't usually come out in reusable condition. The line itself is cheap to replace, and posts often split when being extracted.
Will you fill the holes where the posts were?
Yes, included in the price. I'll backfill with soil and tamp it down level with the lawn. If you want it perfect for turfing or reseeding, let me know and I can make sure it's properly prepared.
What if the posts are set in really deep concrete?
Common in older installations. I can dig them out but it takes longer if there's a big concrete footing. I might need to break up the concrete to get the post out. I'll let you know if it's going to add time.
Do I need to do this before selling/leaving rental?
Check your contract. Some landlords want washing lines left, others want gardens clear. For house sales, buyers usually expect a washing line to be left unless it's specifically excluded. Ask before removing it.
Can you dispose of the old washing line?
Yes, I'll take it away and dispose of it properly if you don't want it. Metal parts to scrap, posts to waste disposal.
