The continuous manufacture of reinforced hose is performed by forming an assembly of a tubular reinforcement structure 23 and a tubular lining layer 24 surrounded by but not united with the reinforcement structure. The assembly is fed to separation means, such as a tubular mandrel 10, and cover material for the hose is applied, e.g. by extrusion, to the reinforcement structure whilst the lining is maintained spaced from the reinforcement by said separation means. The separation means may serve also to provide support for the reinforcement structure during application of the cover material. Subsequent to formation of the cover the lining is united with the reinforcement structure. <IMAGE>
