Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Thornbury
Thornbury’s Victorian and Edwardian homes on stumps make restumping and reblocking two of the most common jobs we do in the suburb. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Thornbury and the wider City of Darebin, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Thornbury homes move
Thornbury sits on reactive clay, and its blocks slope gently toward Merri Creek. Homes on the lower, damper ground near the creek move more, and older subfloors there hold moisture that rots timber stumps.
The homes we work on in Thornbury
Thornbury is full of Victorian and Edwardian period homes on original timber stumps, with some interwar homes further out. Those century-old stumps are almost always due, and damp-driven rot is common.
Local to Thornbury
From the streets off High Street to the homes near the creek, we restump period homes throughout Thornbury. As with neighbouring Northcote, the downhill side of a home near the creek is usually where the stumps have dropped furthest.
