Restumping Balnarring
Restumping Balnarring homes starts with a licensed restumper inspecting your floor and stumps.
We handle restumping (also called reblocking), underpinning, relevelling and stump replacement. Stumps are also called piers. Use the quote form and a licensed restumper will look at your house. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
Rain and the ground under your floor
Balnarring gets about 801 mm of rain a year. February is the driest month, at about 48 mm.
The restumper who quotes your job checks for sinking, tilting and worn stumps under the floor.
Permits for work in Balnarring
Building permits on the Peninsula are issued by private building surveyors. The Shire says a permit is most probably needed for building work.
The restumper who quotes your job will tell you whether it needs one.
Coastal and heritage areas
The Shire of Mornington Peninsula decides planning permit applications for works in the coastal area. If your house is near the bay, ask us about this on the quote form.
The Shire's Heritage Overlay lists heritage places in the village and at the beach. A listed house can have extra rules for work on it.
Where we work around here
Balnarring sits in the Shire of Mornington Peninsula, about 63 km south-east of the Melbourne CBD.
The village is a couple of kilometers inland on the Western Port side. Balnarring Beach is the small coastal resort on the bay.
Before you fill in the form
Tell us if the house is near the coast, because planning rules can differ there.
Tell us if you plan a renovation, remodel, extension or addition. Floors that are being changed are often worth relevelling first.
Licensed restumpers only. One restumper looks at your house, not a list of them.

They can be. The Shire of Mornington Peninsula decides planning permit applications for works in the coastal area. Tell us how close the house is to the water when you send the quote form.
