Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Sunshine
Sunshine’s post-war and interwar homes sit on the western basalt plains, where highly reactive clay makes restumping and underpinning routine. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Sunshine and the wider City of Brimbank, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Sunshine homes move
The western basalt plains carry some of the most reactive clay in metropolitan Melbourne. In Sunshine, a dry summer can pull enough moisture from the soil to drop a footing noticeably, then a wet winter heaves it back, cracking brick and plaster.
The homes we work on in Sunshine
Sunshine has a large stock of interwar and post-war homes, a mix of weatherboard and brick veneer. The weatherboards need restumping; the brick homes, when the clay moves, need underpinning.
Local to Sunshine
We cover Sunshine, Sunshine North and Sunshine West, from the older streets near the station to the post-war grids further out. The heavy local clay means we often recommend deeper support here than a surface fix.

Is underpinning common in Sunshine?
Yes. Sunshine sits on highly reactive western clay, so brick homes here often develop footing movement that underpinning corrects. Bedrock Foundations assesses the soil and recommends the right method, whether that is underpinning, screw piles or restumping. Call 04XX XXX XXX.
How much does restumping cost in Sunshine?
As an indicative Melbourne range, restumping runs about $600 to $1,300 per stump, and a Sunshine home typically sits on 40 to 100 stumps. Bedrock Foundations counts them on site and gives you a fixed written price. Call 04XX XXX XXX.
