LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in East Hills
What we cover in East Hills, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in East Hills or anywhere else in 2213, you are in our Canterbury-Bankstown patch, 22.9 km south-west of the CBD. We run East Hills on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Riverlands Golf Course (closed), Revesby Village Centre or East Hills station, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of East Hills for us.
The suburb sits in the Canterbury-Bankstown area. Voyager Point, Pleasure Point and Panania are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our East Hills work is apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Our East Hills runs also take in Panania station and the area near East Hills Park, so the whole postcode is served.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2213 run the day before, and if Voyager Point or Pleasure Point is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
It is not guidance. It is the benchmark a private certifier assesses against, which is why we install to the approved plan rather than to habit.
Every pipe and conduit through the slab is a path. Each one needs its own collar or sealed detail, and the ones most often missed on East Hills builds are the wet-area penetrations - shower wastes and bath traps.
The value is detectability. A East Hills house with a barrier and no inspections has half a system.
- Your plans priced as a fixed quote
- Each stage installed to suit the build program
- Physical and chemical systems, and combinations of the two
- Durable notice and installation certificate, ready for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in East Hills
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
A termite-resistant physical layer across the prepared ground, installed before the pour and covering the whole slab footprint.
Penetration Collars
Every penetration through the slab is collared and sealed. These are the hidden entry points termites use most.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
Slab edge and wall cavity are both barriered, blocking the concealed tunnels termites otherwise build up the outside.
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 East Hills
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
Under the NCC, Class 1 homes and Class 10 outbuildings with termite-susceptible primary building elements require a compliant termite management system.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Once concrete covers them, pipe penetrations and slab joints cannot be fully protected - it has to happen before the pour.
Whole-Footprint Protection
Areas no post-construction treatment can ever reach are covered by an under-slab system.
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 East Hills
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 physical layer - membrane, stainless mesh or graded stone - that termites cannot get through, beneath the slab or at its edge | Intended to last the life of the slab if not disturbed, and requires no chemical top-up | Slab-on-ground builds, and owners who want to avoid chemicals |
| Penetration collars | Each pipe and conduit through the slab is sealed with a physical collar | Long-lasting, assuming correct installation before the pour | Every slab, usually in combination with a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | A treated soil zone formed with termiticide under and around the structure | Label and soil conditions govern how long it lasts; re-application is possible | Cost-conscious builds and certain complex sites |
| Reticulation system | A network of pipes installed before paving so termiticide can be re-injected into the soil | Rechargeable throughout the building's life, with no need to dig up paths | Homes with paving or landscaping all around them |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Stations in the ground that monitor activity and eliminate the colony | They need servicing on a regular basis | Existing buildings - see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in East Hills
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
We work from your drawings and slab details, specify a system, and fix the price stage by stage before anything is booked.
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
Perimeter and cavity barriers installed as the brickwork or cladding goes up, so there is no gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
A chemical perimeter or reticulation system, where specified, is completed around the building before any paving or landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
A durable notice goes into the meter box recording the system; builder and certifier each get the installation certificate.
06
Handover Advice
The owner receives maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule to keep the system effective.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
We fit in around the plumber's set-out and the pour. Tell us once services are in and the collar installation is confirmed before the pour inspection.
- Collars on the penetrations ahead of the pour
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- Perimeter work completed ahead of paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Developers and volume builders get consistent pricing, a single point of contact and documentation for every lot or dwelling.
Avoiding certification delays
Occupation certificates are often held up by a missing durable notice or vague installation records. Everything is supplied together so the certifier is not left chasing.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in East Hills
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- Leave 75 mm or more of the slab edge visible as an inspection zone - no soil, mulch or paving over it.
- Keep garden beds and stacked timber off the walls
- Keep the weep holes clear of render and debris
- Fix the leaks - taps, downpipes, hot water units - anywhere near the house
- Before the slab gets drilled, speak to your builder or installer
- Make sure any new pipes or extensions are protected as well
- A timber pest inspection is needed at least every 12 months
- Keep the durable notice and installation certificate with your property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in East Hills
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | Larger footprints need more membrane, more perimeter protection and more labour |
| System type | Full under-slab physical, perimeter-only, and chemical or reticulation systems are priced differently |
| How many penetrations | Each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires its own collar |
| Complexity of the site | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone cuts and suspended floors each add detailing |
| Visits to site | Staged installation tracks the build program, with multi-dwelling sites often combined |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in East Hills
Clearing removes the trees, not the nests. Stumps and root systems left in the ground around East Hills developments keep colonies alive right under the new slabs.
Reactive soil is the argument for a system that tolerates movement rather than a rigid one. We choose based on the soil report for the East Hills site, not on a default.
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.

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 East Hills?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in East Hills. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to East Hills?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 22.9 km south-west of the city here, and East Hills is covered by the Canterbury-Bankstown team.
Why do termites keep coming back in East Hills?
Older inner suburbs combine shared structure with ageing drainage, and termites exploit both. Rear courtyards that have been paved over make it worse by trapping damp against the walls.
What kind of buildings do you work on around East Hills?
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in East Hills?
We do. A lot of our East Hills 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, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
How long does the treatment take?
Allow one to two hours for a typical East Hills property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
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.
Which areas around East Hills do you cover?
Yes - we work right across the Canterbury-Bankstown area, which takes in East Hills and the suburbs around it.
