the professionals jack the house above the stump until its about 20 mm clear of the weight above then they use a kanga or similar and drill another peir in front of the stump then chain it clear of the house and pull it out

Does your council require a permit and Civil engineers report approval for this?

Without proper bracing while doing the job, the house can skew and fall to the ground.

Usually pretty safe if you do a few stumps at a time. Pick one bearer, but acrows between each stump on that bearer and jack up, kanga hammer each stump into manageable pieces and replace them.
