Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Kew
Kew holds some of Melbourne's finest Victorian and Edwardian homes, and their ageing footings and timber stumps make underpinning, restumping and reblocking common here. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Kew and the wider City of Boroondara, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Kew homes move
Kew sits on Silurian mudstone weathered to a reactive clay subsoil, with alluvial river flats near the Yarra around Studley Park. The clay moves with the seasons, and Kew's substantial homes put real load on their footings, so when it shrinks in a dry summer the movement shows as cracking in solid brickwork.
The homes we work on in Kew
Kew is rich in grand Victorian and Edwardian brick homes, with interwar and weatherboard stock mixed through. The solid brick homes tend to need underpinning when they move; the weatherboards and bungalows on timber stumps need restumping.
Local to Kew
From the streets around Kew Junction and Cotham Road to the homes near Studley Park and the Yarra, we work on Kew's period houses regularly. Getting the footing fix right matters most on these substantial heritage homes.
