Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.

Bronte’s charm comes with age — and that often means ageing subfloors. If your home has sagging, bouncy floors or cracks forming near doors and windows, it could be time for re-stumping. We specialise in re-stumping Bronte homes, especially heritage, timber, and coastal dwellings, using durable materials and 20+ years of hands-on experience.

What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?


Re-stumping (also known as restumping) involves replacing your home’s old or damaged subfloor stumps with new, long-lasting supports — usually concrete or galvanised steel. It helps correct uneven flooring, restores your home’s level, and prevents further movement or structural issues.


Why Bronte homes often need re-stumping:

  • Timber stumps have rotted due to high moisture or termites
  • Sandy or shifting soil near the coast has caused subsidence
  • Previous renovations didn’t reinforce the foundation
  • Drainage issues or erosion have impacted subfloor stability
  • Tree root intrusion or outdated DIY repairs have weakened support


Coastal homes in Bronte are especially vulnerable to salt-laden air, moisture, and ageing timber — all of which can speed up stump deterioration.

Signs Your Bronte Home May Need Re-Stumping

These symptoms can indicate a failing subfloor — and catching them early can save on costly repairs later:


  • Floors that feel spongy, uneven, or slope to one side
  • Cracks above doors, windows, or architraves
  • Doors or windows that stick or don’t close properly
  • Gaps opening between the floor and walls/skirting
  • Musty smells or visible moisture under the house
  • Subfloor stumps that are leaning, cracked, or visibly decayed

House Relevelling Specialists


Old or damaged timber stumps can shift over time, causing floors to dip and frames to twist. We remove failing stumps and install strong, modern replacements—ensuring your home is safely supported and structurally sound for decades to come.

Re-Stumping


When foundations are no longer strong enough to support your home, underpinning adds the reinforcement needed to stabilise and secure your property. We use engineered solutions to extend your footing into stable soil and stop further movement.

Underpinning


For lighter structures or concrete slabs, resin injection is a fast, non-invasive way to stabilise sunken ground. This method lifts and strengthens foundations by injecting an expanding resin that fills gaps under the home—ideal for driveways, patios, and parts of the house affected by soft or shifting soil.

Foundation Repair Services


We inspect, repair, and upgrade the beams, bearers, and joists under your home to make sure everything’s structurally sound. If you’ve noticed bouncy or noisy floors, it might be time to look beneath the surface.


Sub-Floor Works


Ventilation

Moisture trapped under your home can lead to mould, timber decay, and structural problems. We install smart sub-floor ventilation systems that keep air moving and dampness out—helping protect your investment.
