Restumping / reblocking

Based in Ringwood, VIC, Shelmar Underpinning offers underpinning and structural repair services to local homeowners, including restumping and reblocking.

Melbourne's highly reactive clay soils and large stock of older timber-stumped homes make restumping, reblocking and underpinning especially common work here.

As a 2025 guide, typical underpinning runs about $4,000 to $15,000 and concrete cancer repair varies widely with access -- a guide, not a quote. See the cost guide for the detail.

Common questions

What services is Shelmar Underpinning listed for?

Shelmar Underpinning's listing here covers Restumping / reblocking. Treat that as a pointer for comparing specialists rather than a confirmed scope of work, and check directly what they can take on.

Is Shelmar Underpinning licensed and insured?

Licensing and insurance are not part of what this directory verifies. Before hiring Shelmar Underpinning, ask them directly for current licence and insurance details, and cross-check with your state's building or fair trading authority.

Should I get a structural engineer's assessment before contacting Shelmar Underpinning?

For anything beyond hairline cosmetic cracking, yes. A structural engineer independently diagnoses whether footings have moved and why, and specifies the repair; a contractor like Shelmar Underpinning then prices and carries out that repair. Getting the engineer's report first means every quote you get, including from Shelmar Underpinning, is priced against the same diagnosis.

How much should I expect a job like this to cost?

As a 2025 guide, residential underpinning commonly runs $4,000 to $15,000, with the full spread across jobs from about $3,000 to $25,000; concrete repair varies a lot with access. Treat any figure, including one from Shelmar Underpinning, as a guide until you have a written, inspection-based quote. See our cost guide for the breakdown.
