Restumping Gold Coast
Gold Coast homeowners ask about restumping or raising a house when a stump fails, a floor drops or a flood level sets a new height. In Queensland a licence is needed for building work valued over A$3,300, and the regulator's home warranty scheme lists the replacement of a stump by name. Your enquiry is passed to an independent provider, who inspects the house and quotes.

- Each enquiry goes to one independent provider for your part of the Gold Coast, not to a list of firms that all ring you.
- We do not restump or raise houses. The provider inspects, then names the price.
- Every call opens with a notice that it may be recorded.

Before you call anyone
Three facts that change the job
- A licence above A$3,300 Queensland's regulator says a licence is needed for building work valued over A$3,300, and the Act counts the cost of the materials in that value. Ask any provider which licence they hold and what it covers before you agree a price.
- Stumps are insured work The regulator's Regulation lists replacing a stump among the building work that its home warranty scheme covers when a licensed contractor does it. The regulator says the cover is compulsory for residential work valued at more than A$3,300, including materials, labour and GST, and pays up to A$200,000 on claims for 6 years and 6 months.
- Approvals are yours to check The regulator says it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure the right building approvals are in place before work starts. Ask the provider who will lodge what, and whether the job needs an approval at all.
Three steps
From enquiry to quote
- Describe what you see Your suburb, what you can see (a floor that has dropped, a leaning stump, a door that will not close) and when you first noticed it.
- It is passed on Your enquiry goes to a single independent provider for your part of the Gold Coast. The provider pays for the introduction; you never do.
- A provider inspects and quotes The provider looks at the house, works out the cause and prices the job.
Restumping across Gold Coast
Before a raise, the City of Gold Coast offers a flood level search that gives a defined flood level for a property. The City says its results refer to riverine or regional flooding only, do not cover local flash flooding, and do not show the flood extent, so the search gives a level for one lot and not a picture of the street. Read the raising page for what the City says about floor heights.
