Every postcode in Victoria
Five crews, and none of them are metro-only. The regions below are where the work actually goes, and the quote for a job three hours out reads the same as the quote for one in Brunswick.
- No regional travel premium
- Five crews across the state
- Free on-site inspection
Melbourne metro
The bulk of our work. Inner-north and inner-west weatherboards on original timber stumps, post-war brick veneers through the east and south-east, and Californian bungalows everywhere in between. Tight side access is the norm rather than the exception, which is where galvanised steel stumps earn their keep.
- Brunswick
- Coburg
- Preston
- Northcote
- Footscray
- Yarraville
- Essendon
- Box Hill
- Camberwell
- Bentleigh
- Dandenong
- Werribee
Geelong and the Surf Coast
Older cottages through central Geelong and Newtown on original stumps, plus coastal homes where salt air and sandy footings bring their own problems. Travel down the highway is routine and is not loaded onto the quote.
- Geelong
- Newtown
- Belmont
- Ocean Grove
- Torquay
- Lara
- Winchelsea
Ballarat and the Central Highlands
Goldfields-era housing on deep reactive clay, which is the combination most likely to turn a restump into an underpinning job. Worth having assessed properly rather than guessed at.
- Ballarat
- Wendouree
- Creswick
- Daylesford
- Bacchus Marsh
- Ararat
Bendigo and central Victoria
Miners cottages and weatherboards with shallow crawl spaces and long dry summers followed by wet winters. Soil that moves seasonally is hard on timber stumps that were only ever set into the ground.
- Bendigo
- Kangaroo Flat
- Eaglehawk
- Castlemaine
- Maryborough
- Heathcote
Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley
Irrigation-country homes where the water table and the clay do most of the damage. Subfloor ventilation and drainage usually need attention at the same time as the stumps.
- Shepparton
- Mooroopna
- Kyabram
- Numurkah
- Benalla
- Wangaratta
Mornington Peninsula
Beach houses and older holiday homes on sandy ground, often with additions on footings that never matched the original. Mixed footing types under one roof move at different rates, and that shows up at the join.
- Frankston
- Mornington
- Mount Eliza
- Hastings
- Rosebud
- Sorrento
Gippsland
High rainfall, heavy soils and plenty of houses a long way from the nearest builder who will actually travel. We do, and the quote is the same quote a metro job gets.
- Traralgon
- Morwell
- Sale
- Warragul
- Drouin
- Bairnsdale
- Leongatha
Not on the list?
The regions above are the ones we are in most weeks, not the limit. Nationwide Restumpingcovers the whole state, so if your town is not named, ask. The answer is usually yes and the travel is not an extra line on the quote.
