LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Cremorne Point
What we cover in Cremorne Point, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2090 covers Cremorne Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 3.6 km north-east of the CBD it falls in the Lower North Shore, where we have vans out daily. Our technicians are through Cremorne Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Cremorne Point we work the pockets near Corner Beach, Greenwood Plaza and Cammeray Golf Course most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
The suburb sits in the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area. Neutral Bay, Mosman and Cremorne are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. The mix here is older houses and converted blocks near the water, where moisture under the floor is usually part of the story.
Around Cremorne Point the pattern is fairly consistent: waterfront and near-waterfront homes with damp sub-floors and mature gardens. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We also work the streets near Milsons Point station and across toward Sydney Harbour National Park - the whole of 2090 is covered.
Bookings for 2090 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Neutral Bay and Mosman often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
The failures we are called to inspect are rarely the product. They are a collar missed on a late-added pipe, a perimeter left short at a step-down, or a membrane torn by a trade after we left and never reported.
A pre-construction barrier goes in while the slab is open. Once the concrete is poured and the frame is up, the same protection costs several times as much and never covers the same ground. On a Cremorne Point build this is genuinely a now-or-never detail.
We photograph each penetration as it is treated, so there is a record of what was done rather than an assurance.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Staged installation that fits your build program
- Physical systems, chemical systems, or a combination
- Durable notice and certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Cremorne Point
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
Laid on the prepared ground before the pour, this termite-resistant membrane protects the complete footprint of the slab.
Penetration Collars
A collar is sealed around each plumbing pipe, conduit and service passing through the slab, because those are the most common hidden entry points.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
The slab edge and the wall cavity take a physical barrier, which denies termites a concealed route up the outside of the slab.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
A soil-applied APVMA-registered termiticide, with the option of reticulation pipework allowing recharge later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Bearers, piers and suspended timber floors protected on sloping and elevated sites.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Detailing for the complications Sydney blocks throw up: retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs and cut-and-fill.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Cremorne Point
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
Class 1 homes and Class 10 outbuildings with termite-susceptible primary building elements must have 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
Under-slab protection reaches areas that post-construction treatment simply cannot.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier needs the installation certificate and durable notice before issuing the Occupation Certificate.
Resale Confidence
Documented compliance on termite protection reassures the buyer, their inspector and the lender.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Cremorne Point
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 | Termite-resistant sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone laid under the slab or at the perimeter, impassable to termites | Lasts as long as the slab when undisturbed, with no chemical recharging | Slab-on-ground homes, and owners choosing a non-chemical option |
| Penetration collars | Physical collars sealed around all pipes and conduits penetrating the slab | Correctly installed before the pour, they last | All slabs, normally combined with a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | Soil treated with termiticide to form a zone under and around the structure | Service life depends on label and soil, with re-application possible | Budget-conscious projects and certain 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) | In-ground monitoring stations that take out the colony | Regular station servicing is required | Existing homes, covered under termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Cremorne Point
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Send us your plans and slab details. We recommend a system and give you a fixed price for every stage.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Collars are fitted to all service penetrations, and the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment follows on the prepared site.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Perimeter and cavity barriers installed as the walls go up, so no gap is left at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
Where specified, we complete the chemical perimeter or reticulation around the finished building, before paving and landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is recorded on a durable notice fixed in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to the builder and the certifier.
06
Handover Advice
The owner receives maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule to keep the system effective.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Cremorne Point

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Timing follows the plumbing set-out and the pour. Tell us when services are complete and we confirm the collars before 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
Developers and volume builders work to consistent pricing with a single contact and documentation for every dwelling.
Avoiding certification delays
A missing durable notice or unclear installation record is a common cause of occupation certificate delay. We supply the lot together so the certifier has everything.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Cremorne Point
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- At least 75 mm of slab edge has to stay exposed for inspection. Don't bury it under soil, mulch or paving.
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Keep render and debris out of the weep holes
- Any leak near the house - tap, downpipe, hot water unit - needs fixing
- Let your builder or installer know before anything is drilled through the slab
- New pipes and extensions need bringing into the system too
- Timber pest inspections at least every 12 months
- File the durable notice and installation certificate with your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Cremorne Point
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | A larger footprint requires more membrane, more perimeter work and more labour |
| System type | Full under-slab physical, perimeter-only, and chemical or reticulation systems are priced differently |
| Number of penetrations | A collar is needed for each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab |
| Difficulty of the site | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors add to the detailing |
| How many attendances | Staged installations follow the build program, and multi-dwelling sites may be combined |

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 QuoteWhat am I looking at for pre-construction termite barriers in Cremorne Point?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Cremorne Point 2090, with no call-out fee. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
What is the wait for a technician in Cremorne Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Cremorne Point is about 3.6 km north-east of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why are termites such a problem in Cremorne Point?
The combination here is age and moisture. Older houses near the harbour rarely have sub-floor ventilation that still works, and termites settle in what that leaves behind.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Cremorne Point?
Older houses and converted blocks, frequently on a slope with a lower level cut into it - which is where we usually start.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Cremorne Point?
We do. A lot of our Cremorne Point work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Usually not. Most pre-construction termite barriers work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
How long will the technician be on site?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Cremorne Point property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
Is there a warranty if they return?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Do you cover the suburbs around Cremorne Point too?
Yes - we work right across the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area, which takes in Cremorne Point and the suburbs around it.
