Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for minor stump repairs?
Not always. If you’re only repairing a few stumps without affecting structure or levels, a permit may not be needed. We can advise based on your specific case.
What if I’m selling the property?
Works without a permit can become an issue during a sale. It’s safer to obtain a permit now to avoid delays or legal problems later.
Can I re-stump part of the house only?
In many cases, yes. Especially if you’re changing the type or spacing of the stumps. We can help arrange this with your chosen professionals.
