Reblocking involves replacing old or deteriorated stumps beneath your home with new, durable materials such as concrete or steel. While the terms are often used interchangeably, restumping typically refers to replacing timber stumps, whereas reblocking is a broader term that includes upgrading to stronger materials.

Most reblocking projects take between 3 to 10 days, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the job. Larger or more challenging properties may take longer, especially where access is limited or structural adjustments are required.

Reblocking costs in Melbourne generally range from $12,000 to $30,000+, depending on the size of the home, number of stumps, soil conditions, and access under the property. The most accurate way to determine cost is through an on-site inspection, where we assess the condition of your existing stumps and provide a detailed quote.

In most cases, you can remain in your home during the reblocking process. However, there may be temporary disruptions, especially when lifting and levelling is taking place. We always advise based on your specific situation after inspection.

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, reblocking and restumping can refer to slightly different foundation repair methods. Restumping typically involves replacing old timber stumps with new stumps while maintaining the existing support layout. Reblocking is often a broader process that may include replacing stumps, correcting foundation movement, re-levelling the home, and upgrading the overall support system. In many Melbourne homes, particularly older weatherboard properties, reblocking may involve additional structural work beyond simply replacing individual stumps. During our inspection, we assess the condition of the foundations and recommend the most appropriate solution based on the property's age, condition, and level of movement.
