How to Identify When Your House Needs Restumping and Underpinning

When it comes to the stability of your home, restumping and underpinning are two processes that you should know about. They both involve the replacement of and repair of stumps, whether they be timber or concrete. It’s important that your property is upheld with the best quality stumps as they can significantly affect the structural integrity of the house. If you’re wondering how to identify when your house needs restumping or underpinning, here are some of the tell-tale signs to look out for:

Uneven or sagging floors are usually an indication that the stumps are deteriorating or damaged. They’re also a sign that the foundation is not supporting the weight of the building, which can lead to cracks and collapsing walls. Restumping will correct this problem and improve the load-bearing capacity of the foundation.

If your property has wooden stumps, they can rot with moisture over time. They can also be affected by termites, which can turn full wood blocks into nothing but dust. In order to prevent this, it’s important that you choose a company that uses termite-resistant materials when restumping your house.

Another common reason for re-stumping is to add a second story or extension to the property. It’s essential that you choose a reputable company to do this, as it will have the experience and expertise to ensure the structure can withstand the added weight.

Underpinning is a process that can be done in conjunction with reblocking or restumping. It involves digging under the existing foundations and pumping concrete into the soft areas to make them solid again. This is a great solution for houses that have started to sink in certain areas of the property due to expansive soil or age-related wear and tear.

When choosing a company to carry out underpinning, it’s important to choose one with extensive industry experience and a strong reputation for customer service. It’s also important to get quotes from multiple companies and compare the pricing to find the best deal. Underpinning is a costly process, but it’s well worth the investment to protect your home.

Is Hiring Architects in Melbourne Worth The Money?

Any skilled architects in Melbourne will save you money, not least because a great design will add value to the finished property. This is only one of the reasons why high-end developers frequently use industry pros to draw up strategies.

Part of the function of renovation builders in Camberwell is to prevent potential budget dangers by anticipating and minimising them before they occur. While they are most commonly identified with their ability to create elegant homes, it is equally crucial that they have a full understanding of construction procedures.

The Architect's Role:

Drafting the Plans

This is most likely the first thing that comes to mind when you think of an architect. The technical drawings are crucial. Creating them allows the architect to assist you in fleshing out ideas, for example, building a tiny wall in the bedroom made room for a king-size bed.

Getting Inventive

Do you desire eye-catching visuals? Are there hidden storage areas? An architect can incorporate certain specific features into the plans, and more may emerge as you learn about, say, a wall that's four inches thicker than it has to be, allowing you to instal shallow built-ins.

Providing Advice On Fittings and Finishes

Paint, tile, flooring, countertops, kitchen cabinets, faucets, lights, doorknobs, appliances, and other items are all included in the term "fixtures and finishes." If you're working with both an architect and a designer, the designer will be the one who makes recommendations for fixtures and finishes. If you do not have a designer, that layer will be between you and the architect.

Is It a Good Investment?

Architects may appear pricey because you are not purchasing something tangible for your homes, such as bricks or a boiler; instead, you are purchasing time and ability, which are difficult to define. They are, however, well worth your money.

So as ever I'm bored

And so I'm researching the actual Edmund Reid's history

I didn't know he was an aeronaut

Also, bizarrely, his daughter (Elizabeth, who is the basis for Mathilda in the Ripper Street series, tho her history is changed drastically for said series) - this isn't the bizarre bit, but she married the station sergeant of H division, a Thomas Smith, and her son Edmund was sent to war as a sapper in France (he has no distinctive marks, reportedly, only his height is listed, which is unusual, but I know before he left he was a clerk for P.L.U or P.L.A, whatever that might be) - the bizarre bit is that she was baptised at age 33, having already married and had 3 children, tho neither they or her husband were baptized alongside her, as I've seen before

Thomas was almost 10 years her senior and retired on a pension of £208, 14s, 4d p/a in 1920 - he had blue eyes, and fair hair "turning grey" at age 56, after 33 years at work, and his hand seems to have shook on signing his name, or else a new dip of his pen caused blotches

Anyway so

I've found Edmund Reid's Police Pension register!

He retired from the L division, Lambeth in Feb 1896, as an Inspector, with a pension of £117 exact - his middle names were John James, and he was born in Canterbury in March 1846, was 5ft 6 and a half, had dark brown hair and grey eyes (and a "fresh" complexion, tho I've never really understood the meaning of that). "If injured in the service, state nature" just has a tick next to it, which I spose means none, and the pen was running out of ink or else has faded very much

He was a mason!!

I'm not terrible surprised, really, a man of his standing in his age, but it doesn't much match with his characterisation in Ripper Street, tho I know I oughtn't take that as truth

The membership list says he lives at Leman Street, and funnily there's a Flight just above him on the list. It says he was "Excluded" in 1898, tho no reason given and I wouldn't expect one

Anyway, so

Along with the aforementioned Elizabeth, there was a son, Harold Reid - younger than her by 8 years - he was a soldier, enlisted in 1900 age 18, and before that a barman by his enlistment papers. He was taller than his dad by an inch and a half, but had his same features (Fresh complexion, grey eyes, brown hair) - but, also, a tattoo! "Four dots left" I presume arm. He was in South Africa twice, for five years total, and between those spent six years at once in India. Of course his dad is his next of kin, and his address changes twice (Stanley Road somewhere in Kent, then 9 Southampton Row London, then finally Hampton-on-Sea)

He's listed as a soldier on his marriage record in 1918, but his record as I have found it dates only to 1908. Maybe there's a separate thing, for WWI stuff?

Ah, in 1939, he's a retired police officer living in Kingston upon Thames. Idk that I'll find his pension record, I'll have a hunt. Aha, here he is. An inspector himself, no less! Oh, by the description, it's the wrong Harold Reid. Never mind then!

Anyway in 1911, he's (the correct one) living with his dad in Hampton-on-Sea, listed as an Army Corporal (and Edmund a Police Pensioner), and they have a German housekeeper and a domestic from Stepney with them. Edmund's pen is not running low on ink this time. Their neighbours on either side are Mounts - one, Albert Mount, a house decorator and his family, and two, George Mount, a "market gardener", who I think might be Albert's father (tho his wife is the same age as Albert, 30 years his junior, which is gross)

Oh, Harold has a daughter! Elizabeth Mabel, born summer 1919. In Andover, of all places.

No listing whatsoever for WWI, tho, so idk how or why he's still a soldier on his marriage.

But I have found Edmund's baptism (as an infant, unlike his daughter), and from there him at 15 - they live now in a pub in St Giles Camberwell - his father is a railway clerk from Aberdeen, his mother a housekeeper from Seynham? Idk somewhere in Kent. His elder sister and his cousin visiting are both barmaids, presumably in the pub they live over, and his four younger sisters are all school age. Edmund himself is a grocer's assistant - the nearest one is a Mr Jennings, next door, I'd presume Edmund works for him.

At age 25, he is a lodger with the Fields family, in Southwark St John, and is a warehouse worker.

It's not til he's 26, the next year, that he joins the police

For a lark, I had a look for Jackson and Drake - there is no such person as Homer Jackson (except in 1940s Birmingham), nor Matthew Judge (except up north, and later), but Bennett Drake did exist! As a name, at least. He's a brewer's labourer from Dorset, living in Hilton and then Sherborne, with a wife Sarah and at least 6 children, including a stepson. His middle name is Swire (or Swyre, or Sayre), apparently, and his father John was a labourer. He also was unable to sign his name, tho his second wife was. He had at least 2 older siblings, and 7 younger, so his mum Harriott must've been rushed off her feet, the poor woman.

I had a look for Fred Best, too, because he was certainly a factual person. At 15, in 1881, he was a printer's messenger living with his parents on Albany Road, and his dad was a carpenter. He's the middle brother of three, with the eldest becoming a banker, and the youngest a piano agent. And of course we know Fred is a journalist! Tho I can't find any much more word of him - except one Fred Best, in 1891, who is a book, builder? Bookbinder? Dodgy handwriting, that enumerator. Tho that one is 5 years too old, that doesn't always mean much - tho unless there's another Fred Best who's dad was a carpenter, there's a listing for him having joined the army in '84, and this one is the right age

Anyway, that's enough of that, it's almost 2am and I have to be vaguely presentable at noon tomorrow (today), dear me

Since the day they got the keys in 2012, interior decorator Lauren Egan and commercial photographer Glenn Hester have been slowly updating their 1920s Preston home (nine kilometres north of Melbourne’s CBD). 

‘We came in and ripped up the mouldy carpet, and then spent every spare moment for the next six months getting the house liveable,’ says Lauren.

The house required re-stumping, and the internal walls all needed replacing, but the couple enjoyed every moment. 

After an initial renovation in 2012, Lauren and Glenn engaged Project 12 Architecture in 2018 to design an extension, adding more living space, another bedroom and bathroom. Originally the couple were seeking a major overhaul, but after undertaking a career change and opening co-working and photography studio Council Street in Clifton Hill, they settled on a more modest design. Some compromises had to be made, but there was no budging on the terrazzo en suite, Anchor Ceramics kitchen tiles, and solid Concrete Collective bench tops! 

‘We revised our brief and Aimee and Louis [from Project 12] came back to us with this creative use of space that we could execute ourselves as owner-builders, and get our hands dirty where possible,’ Lauren says. ‘Their design has transformed our house from quaint to showstopper (we often have people drive by for a closer look!).’

Having completed an interior decoration course in 2018, Lauren undertook the interior design herself. One of her most inspired ideas was introducing a varied colour palette, eliminating all internal white walls in the process. 

‘There are eight paint colours we used throughout the house, some of them deep and bright, and some of them subtle and neutral,’ she says. ‘Because of the abundance of natural light, we used a muddy grey on the main living spaces in the old house, which pairs beautifully with the smoked oak floors, then we flipped this in the new lounge where the walls are tan and the floors concrete.’

Other colours reflect various natural elements outside the home, such as subtle dirty purples that reference established jacarandas in the front and back yards, and deep greens reflective of the property’s lush garden by Mud Office.

To keep costs down and add character, Lauren has sourced second hand furniture as much as possible, and is no rush to ‘finish’ the space. 

‘We’re at ease with filling our home overtime,’ she says. ‘I have a decent list of things I’d love to own, but there’ll be the right time and place to bring them into the fold.’

It’s an ongoing process, but Lauren hopes thoughtful changes they’ve made will see the house through another century. 

‘We’re hopeful that we’ve given this house a new lease on life, and it will last another 100 years!’ she says.

December/January planning round-up

Here are some planning applications submitted between December 6 and February 23 that our readers might find interesting...

* A company called Bluecroft Peckham has applied to demolish some of the old buildings at 39b Consort Road to build seven new homes in a block of up to four storeys tall, plus another two-storey block housing commercial space. An old workshop on the site will be retained and converted into two further homes. All nine of the new residences will be market housing, with no affordable or social rented accommodation proposed. 

The site, which is currently used as a storage yard by D&R Scaffolding, is home to “Victorian brick buildings” that the project’s architect, Alan Camp, says have been “neglected for many years” and are “beyond economic repair”. The scheme is a new application submitted by Bluecroft following Peckham Coal Line’s objections to the previous application, which they said would jeopardise the Coal Line route. 

According to the planning application, the site was once home to the Camberwell Reception Centre, which provided temporary accommodation to those in need. This closed in 1985 and the original workhouse buildings were converted into housing association flats.

The site at 39b Consort Road was not developed, however, but was used for five years during the 1990s to provide arts and crafts activities for local children, before the project sadly lost its funding in 1998.

The plan application goes on to state that in 2001, 39b was taken over by squatters, who occupied the property as “informal caretakers” - using the building and its yard as a creative hub and garden project which became known as the 491 Gallery. 

The new scheme includes “significantly more employment space” than the first application (330 square metres compared with 138 square metres previously), which will take the form of managed co-working space. The developer also says the new car-free route through the site could be used for “public events such as food markets and craft fayres".

Commenting on Southwark Council’s website, the Peckham Coal Line team said it “welcomes” elements of the revised application, but warned that “continued collaboration is essential if the route is to become a vibrant asset adopted by the local community”. 

But another commenter objected to the proposal, stating that it “does not reflect the interest of the local community”. They added: “There is a fear that the whole area will be nothing but flats with little space for green areas.” View the plans and have your say here: https://tinyurl.com/y78kn45k

* Peabody is proposing to demolish buildings at Nyes Wharf on Frensham Street to build a mixed-use scheme with commercial and community space and 153 residential units (of which 36 will be social rented and 18 “intermediate”) above, in a building ranging from 9 to 18 storeys. 

Commenting on the plans, a resident of Northfield House expressed concerns over the height of the scheme, stating: “Northfield House receives direct sunlight from the direction of the proposed development during the latter part of the day, and the new proposed buildings will deprive it of most of it.

“The consequences of this will be: increased need of use of electric light and heating; general gloominess added to the area and quality of residents' life; deprivation of views of the central London skyline (presently an enjoyable feature of the building).” To view the plans, go to https://tinyurl.com/y939bvcc

* Southwark Council is hoping to demolish a row of garages at the intersection of Fenham, Nutcroft and Geldart roads to build five flats (all social rented). Here are some before and after photos:

To view the plans in full and have your say, go to https://tinyurl.com/y9jag8n2

* The builders’ merchant at 16-18 Gibbon Road is set to be replaced by two flats and a shop, contained within a two-storey building fronting onto Gibbon Road, with site access to the rear for a new terrace of five houses.

* MKK plumbing shop is proposing to add a side extension to its premises at 88 Evelina Road, which will occupy the vacant piece of land next door. According to the proposal, the site was once occupied by number 86, which was destroyed by a bomb during World War Two. 

If consent is granted, the new building will house a retail unit at ground level (which appears to be an extension of MKK’s shop next door) and a flat above. Full information can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/y9mh6lft

* Frame Property, who own the landmark building at 133 Rye Lane, have submitted some amendments to their application that was granted permission in 2016. The key changes are “omission of ground floor rear glazed extension to rear access” and “northwest stair to become external”. We’re hoping that means the magnificent staircase that was on view until recently in the Bussey Building corridor - confirmation to follow. In the meantime, the application is available to view here: https://tinyurl.com/y9a7f2xc

* Kashmir Grocers at 18-20 Choumert Road could become a restaurant if plans get the go-ahead. It’s not clear who is behind the proposal as there is only an agent listed on the application form - although documents suggest it could be a company named “Hua Phan”.

The scheme proposes a building of three storeys on Peckham Park Road and four storeys on Livesey Place. Here’s what it could look like:

* The Olde Apple Tree on Sumner Road could be demolished to make way for a modern building of five floors, housing a new pub at ground level and nine flats (all market housing) above. In a statement on the council’s website, the applicant said the current building is suffering from “extensive structural degradation and evidence of damp” that would be costly to rectify. He added: “On that basis, the better option was considered to be demolition of the existing building and to rebuild the public house and its associated facilities, including essential extended cellar space”. He said the nine flats above would ameliorate the capital costs associated with this.
