Fixed-quote restumping, reblocking and house levelling for Echuca and Campaspe & the Murray — with the permits, engineering and local soil knowledge handled for you.
Echuca's river-port history means many of its most character-filled homes sit on old flood-plain soils — sandy loams over clay — that shift with the Murray's wet and dry cycles. Period homes here are wonderful, and their stumps are usually original.
Echuca has one of regional Victoria's richest stocks of Victorian-era and Federation timber homes, most built on red gum stumps cut when the paddle steamers still ran. Beautiful houses — 100-year-old footings.
Regional prices, not Melbourne prices. Typical Echuca jobs:
| Job | Typical range |

| Full restump — 2BR cottage | $9,000–$15,000 |
| Full restump — 3BR weatherboard | $12,000–$22,000 |
| Partial restump (one section) | $3,000–$7,000 |
| Permit + engineering (we arrange) | $1,200–$2,000 |
Every house is different — stump count, access and soil drive the price. A free inspection gets you a fixed number.
In Echuca and across Campaspe Shire, restumping requires a building permit through a registered building surveyor plus an engineer's stump layout. We handle permits, engineering and inspections end to end.
Most full restumps run 3–7 working days on site, plus approval lead time (we start the paperwork the day you accept the quote). You can usually stay in the house.
Concrete suits most local blocks; we recommend steel adjustable stumps where the clay content is high or the block holds moisture.
Yes — Echuca is a base, not a boundary. We service Moama, Kyabram, Rochester, Tongala, Barham, Cohuna, Lockington, Gunbower and everywhere between. Travel is built into the fixed quote, never a surprise line item.
Not when it's done in stages. Heritage homes are lifted in small, even increments — a few millimetres at a time across many stumps — precisely so lath-and-plaster walls, original fireplaces and ornate cornices aren't stressed. Hairline movement in old plaster is normal and patchable; cracked chimneys and racked door frames are what happens when lifting is rushed. Ask any restumper how they stage their lifts before you sign.
Echuca's paddle-steamer-era homes deserve another century — and that starts under the floor. Book a free inspection and we'll treat your place like the heritage it is. Request your free Echuca inspection →
