Why Coburg Homes Need Reblocking
Coburg and the Merri-bek council area sit on Melbourne's basalt volcanic plain — reactive clay soils rated Class M to H under AS 2870. The basalt plain's exceptional moisture retention in winter combined with severe summer drying drives significant annual ground movement.
Coburg's interwar and post-war weatherboard homes from the 1920s–1950s are now 70–100 years old. Many of these original homes sit on hardwood stumps that are well into their deterioration phase.
Warning Signs Your Coburg Home Needs Reblocking
Watch for these signs of deteriorating stumps — do not ignore them:
What Is Reblocking — and How Does It Differ from Restumping and Underpinning?
Reblocking and restumping are the same process — both describe replacing old timber stumps with new concrete stumps beneath a raised timber-framed home. Underpinning is a separate process for homes on concrete slabs. Not sure which applies to you? Call 0455 888 899 and we will advise you honestly, at no charge.
Our Coburg Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Coburg property, assess your subfloor, identify damaged stumps and provide a free written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
We document the number of stumps, subfloor access and drainage considerations relevant to Coburg's specific soil conditions.
Rotten or damaged stumps are safely removed. We work from beneath your home — in most cases without removing any floorboards.
High-strength concrete stumps are installed to a minimum of 450mm depth and concreted firmly in place. Concrete does not rot. Termites cannot damage it.
We use hydraulic jacks to lift and re-level your structure — correcting sloping floors and reducing frame distortion.
Comprehensive check before sign-off. All work performed by a Registered Building Practitioner (Licence DB-L 54524) with a written 15-year guarantee.
