Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Carlton

Why Carlton homes move

Carlton sits on inner-north Silurian clay with pockets of fill. A century and a half of seasonal clay movement, plus fill that settles under old footings, is what cracks the masonry and drops the rear floors in Carlton's period homes.

The homes we work on in Carlton

Carlton is dense with Victorian terraces and workers' cottages on brick and bluestone footings, often with timber-stumped rear sections, alongside extensive student apartments. The stumped sections need restumping; the masonry footings can need underpinning.

Local to Carlton

From the terraces off Lygon Street to the homes near the Carlton Gardens and Princes Park, we work across the suburb. We are set up for tight inner-city sites where access, not just the count, is the real challenge.
