Hamlyn Heights: houses, ground and history

Hamlyn Heights is an elevated residential area on Geelong's north-west outskirts, settled during the 1950s and 1960s. Older landmarks stand here too: Glenpanyal, a two-storey Gothic Revival villa built about 1859–60, and the Bell Post Hill Service Basin, built in 1925 to help supply Geelong's water. Most homes, 83.9% in 2021, are separate houses. Get in touch for a referral to a registered restumper.

Houses from the 1950s and 1960s, when Hamlyn Heights was settled, have stood for decades. An inspection checks how the stumps have held up, whether the bearers are level and how the floor sits. It’s the inspection, not a single crack, that tells you whether restumping is the answer. If the house has been extended or had stumps replaced before, the restumper will want to know.

Before you agree to anything, check the builder’s registration. In Victoria, registration is required for restumping and reblocking whatever the value of the job, as Consumer Affairs Victoria explains. On a larger job, ask for the Notice of Cover that shows Home Warranty insurance is in place. To get started, note your address, the signs you’ve noticed and when they began. A registered restumper who covers Hamlyn Heights will then get your enquiry, with your consent.
