Contact Warragul Restumping

Send the town, what the house sits on and what you have noticed inside. A couple of photos of the worst room and, if you can get there, a stump under the floor usually gets you a price range before anyone visits.

Call

03 5660 8324

Quickest option, especially if there is a date attached. Say the date on the call.

Or send the details

Fill this in and someone will come back to you. Photos of the floor, the outside of the house and the subfloor answer most questions before they are asked.

What helps with a quote

  • The address or town. The overlays are checked from it, and flood-prone land or a heritage precinct changes the paperwork.
  • What the house sits on. Timber stumps, concrete stumps, brick piers or a slab. If you do not know, a photo under the house tells us.
  • What you have noticed. Which rooms slope, which doors stick, where the cracks are, whether it changes with the seasons.
  • Clearance and access. Roughly how high the floor is off the ground and whether there is a side path a barrow or a small machine could use.
  • Photos. The worst room with a level or a marble on the floor, the outside of the house showing the baseboards, and anything under the floor you can reach.
  • Any paperwork. A building or pest inspection report, an old building permit, an engineer's letter.
  • The date. Settlement, a builder's start, or a floor that is getting worse quickly.

If it is urgent

A floor that has dropped suddenly, a stump that has given way under a load, or a house that has moved after a landslip or flood is a different kind of job. If anyone is in danger, call 000. If the house is unsafe but nobody is at risk, keep people off the affected floor, tell your insurer, and the council's municipal building surveyor can be contacted about emergency building action.

What this site cannot help with

Nobody here can issue a permit, tell you over the phone what class your soil is, or design underpinning. For a planning question, Baw Baw Shire Council is on 03 5624 2411. For a registered practitioner, search the Building and Plumbing Commission's register.

Questions

Common questions

How do I get a restumping quote in Warragul?

Call or use the form. Give the town, what the house sits on, what you have noticed inside, and send a few photos. A subfloor inspection follows, and the written quote comes from that.

Is the quote free?

Quotes are normally free. Confirm it when you book, and ask whether the subfloor inspection is charged separately.

Do you need to visit before quoting?

A first price range can come from photos and a description. The number that goes on a contract comes from an hour under the house with a probe and a level, because the state of the bearers is not visible from anywhere else.

What photos should I send?

The worst room with a level or a marble on the floor, a door that sticks with the gap visible, the outside of the house at baseboard level, and anything you can reach under the floor: a stump, a bearer, the ground.

Can you work to a settlement date?

Tell us the date at the start. The permit and the contract set the pace, and a subfloor inspection before settlement is often what the buyer or the vendor needs most.

I have a building report that mentions the stumps. What should I send?

The report itself, or the pages about the subfloor. It says what the inspector saw and where, and it is the starting point for the inspection and the quote.

Do you cover the hills and the small towns?

Yes. Neerim South, Rokeby, Willow Grove, Thorpdale, Buln Buln, Jindivick, Darnum, Nilma, Longwarry and the farms between, along with Warragul, Drouin, Trafalgar and Yarragon, and Bunyip and Garfield in Cardinia.

Can you arrange the engineer for underpinning?

Yes. The building surveyor asks for a structural engineer's design before permitting underpinning, and that is arranged as part of the job, or you can supply a recent report if you have one.
