Why Sunshine Homes Need Reblocking
Sunshine and the Brimbank western corridor sit on reactive Quaternary clay soils from Melbourne's western volcanic plain — rated Class M to H under AS 2870. The western plain's clay profile expands and contracts significantly with Melbourne's seasonal moisture cycle.
Sunshine's interwar and post-war homes from the 1920s–1960s are now 60–100 years old on original hardwood stumps. The combination of reactive western clay soils and this housing era makes Sunshine one of Melbourne's west's most reliable reblocking demand areas.
Warning Signs Your Sunshine 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 Sunshine Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Sunshine 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 Sunshine'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.
