Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Newport
Newport’s period homes sit on the reactive, low-lying ground of Melbourne’s inner west, making restumping and reblocking common across the suburb. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Newport and the wider City of Hobsons Bay, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Newport homes move
Newport sits on reactive western clay near the bay, with a historically high water table. The damp subfloors that result speed up the rot that ruins timber stumps in the area’s older homes.
The homes we work on in Newport
Newport is full of Victorian and Edwardian workers’ cottages on original timber stumps, a legacy of its railway-workshops history. Those century-old stumps are almost always due for replacement.
Local to Newport
From the streets around Newport station and the lakes to the cottages near the workshops, we restump period homes throughout the suburb, working within the tight setbacks that are normal for Newport.
