YOUR AREA
Local Pre-Construction Termite Barriers for Bonnet Bay
Where Bonnet Bay sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2226 covers Bonnet Bay and the streets immediately around it. At about 21.4 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Sutherland Shire, where we have vans out daily. We run Bonnet Bay on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Bonnet Bay jobs are in the streets around Bilba Reserve and Ninth Avenue Reserve, and we are out near Illawong Village Shopping Centre regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the Sutherland Shire area, and our runs here also take in Como, Jannali and Woronora. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
Bonnet Bay jobs tend to be houses backing onto a reserve, where the pressure is constant from outside. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
We also work the area near Jannali station, and the rest of 2226 with it.
When you book, we confirm the 2226 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Como or Jannali that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
A suspended floor is a different job again - the protection goes to piers, bearers and the subfloor rather than under a slab. On sloping Bonnet Bay blocks that is common.
A barrier does not stop being compliant when a garden bed goes in over it, but it does stop being inspectable - which amounts to the same thing a few years later.
A compliant barrier does not mean termites can never reach the building. It means they cannot reach it concealed - they have to build workings where an inspection will find them. That is why the annual inspection is part of the system, not an upsell.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installed in stages that follow your build program
- A physical system, a chemical system, or both together
- Durable notice and certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Bonnet Bay
Photos from our own Sydney installations, not stock images. We recommend the right mix for your slab design, site and budget.
Full Under-Slab Membrane
The whole slab footprint is protected by a termite-resistant membrane laid onto the prepared ground before concrete goes down.
Penetration Collars
Collars sealed to every plumbing pipe, conduit and service that passes through the slab. These are the most common hidden entry points for termites.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
A physical barrier runs round the slab edge and into the cavity, so no concealed tunnel can be built up the slab's exterior.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
Termiticide registered with the APVMA goes into the soil, and a reticulation pipe network can be added so later recharging needs no digging.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Protection for the piers, bearers and suspended timber flooring on elevated or sloping sites.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs and cut-and-fill - all common in Sydney, all needing their own detailing.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Bonnet Bay
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Compared with a retrofit - or with repairing damage - a pre-construction barrier is a small cost.
Required by the NCC
New homes (Class 1) and outbuildings (Class 10) with termite-susceptible primary building elements need a compliant termite management system.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Before the pour is the only opportunity to fully protect the pipe penetrations and slab joints.
Whole-Footprint Protection
An under-slab system protects the parts of the footprint no later treatment can access.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
No Occupation Certificate is issued without the installation certificate and durable notice going to the certifier.
Resale Confidence
Buyers, building inspectors and lenders all take comfort from documented, compliant termite protection.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Bonnet Bay
Both approaches can comply with AS 3660.1. Many Sydney builds use a combination.
| System | How it works | Durability & upkeep | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical membrane, mesh or graded stone | A layer termites cannot chew - sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone - laid beneath the slab or at the perimeter | Built to last the life of the slab provided it is not disturbed, with no chemical recharging | Slab-on-ground builds, and owners who would rather avoid chemicals |
| Penetration collars | A physical collar sealed around each pipe and conduit passing through the slab | Long service life where the install before the pour was done properly | Every slab, and usually alongside a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | Treated soil - termiticide applied beneath and around the building | Longevity depends on label and soil conditions, and it can be renewed | Cost-conscious builds, and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | Pipework laid before the paving so termiticide can be pumped back into the soil later | Rechargeable for the life of the building, with no need to lift paths | Houses ringed by paving or landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Monitoring stations set into the ground, baited to eliminate the colony | Regular servicing of the stations is needed | For existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Bonnet Bay
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Send through the plans and the slab details and you get back a recommended system with a fixed price against every stage.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Collars go onto every service penetration, and once the site is prepared the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment is installed.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
While the brickwork or cladding goes up, the perimeter and cavity barriers are installed, leaving no gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
The chemical perimeter or reticulation system, if specified, goes in around the completed building before paving and landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
A durable notice in the meter box documents the system; the installation certificate is issued to the builder and certifier.
06
Handover Advice
Maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule are given to the owner to keep the system working.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Scheduling works around the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour. Let us know when services are in and we confirm collar installation ahead of the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars installed prior to the pour
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- Perimeter completed before paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
We give developers and volume builders consistent pricing, one contact, and documentation lot by lot.
Avoiding certification delays
Delays at occupation certificate stage usually come down to a missing durable notice or unclear records. We provide the complete set at once.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Bonnet Bay
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- The inspection zone needs 75 mm of slab edge left exposed - don't cover it with soil, mulch or paving.
- Keep garden beds and stacked timber away from the house
- Keep the weep holes clear of render and debris
- Fix the leaks - taps, downpipes, hot water units - anywhere near the house
- Let your builder or installer know before anything is drilled through the slab
- Check protection extends to any new pipes or extensions
- A timber pest inspection is needed at least every 12 months
- Keep the durable notice and the installation certificate in your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Bonnet Bay
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Footprint and perimeter | More area means more membrane, more perimeter protection and more time on site |
| Type of system | Pricing differs between full under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems, and chemical or reticulation options |
| Penetration count | Every plumbing and electrical service through the slab needs a collar fitted |
| Site complexity | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors add detailing |
| Number of site visits | Staging follows the build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Bonnet Bay
The assumption that a new build is low risk is backwards. New construction on previously vegetated land is exactly where we see early activity.
Our barrier work takes in Bonnet Bay and across toward Como, on single builds and multi-lot developments alike.
If a system is going to fail it fails at a detail, not across the whole footprint. That is why we photograph each penetration and each stage as it is completed.

FAQ
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? Call us — we're happy to help.
Get a Free QuoteHow much does pre-construction termite barriers cost in Bonnet Bay?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. There is no call-out charge in Bonnet Bay 2226. The final number comes down to the property itself, and it is fixed before we begin. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Bonnet Bay?
At roughly 21.4 km south-west of the city, Bonnet Bay is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why are termites such a problem in Bonnet Bay?
The bush is a permanent reservoir. Treating inside does little here unless the boundary and the perimeter are dealt with, because re-entry is the real issue.
What sort of properties do you treat in Bonnet Bay?
Detached houses on bush edges, where re-entry is the issue rather than the initial treatment.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Bonnet Bay?
We do all of those. A good share of the Bonnet Bay jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
How long will the technician be on site?
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
Is there a warranty if they return?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Do you cover the suburbs around Bonnet Bay too?
All of them. Bonnet Bay sits alongside Como, Jannali, Woronora and Sutherland in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
