LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Eveleigh
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Eveleigh.
We treat termites right across 2015. Eveleigh is roughly 3.4 km south-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Sydney CBD & Inner City run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Eveleigh most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Redfern station and Hollis Park in Eveleigh, and Alexandria Park is close enough to be on the same run.
Our runs through Eveleigh also take in Darlington, Erskineville and Newtown. Apartment stock means shared services, so a single-unit treatment holds only if the rest of the building is not feeding it.
What we see in Eveleigh is units in towers where the kitchen backs onto shared services. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Broadway Shopping Centre and Broadway Shopping Centre are on the same round, which means every part of 2015 is within our area.
The 2015 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Darlington and Erskineville fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

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 barrier is only as good as its weakest penetration. One untreated conduit gives a colony a clean route into the frame.
The value is detectability. A Eveleigh house with a barrier and no inspections has half a system.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installation staged around your build program
- Physical, chemical and combination systems
- Durable notice and certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Eveleigh
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 physical, termite-resistant membrane laid over the prepared ground ahead of the pour, covering the slab's entire footprint.
Penetration Collars
Each service penetrating the slab - pipe, conduit, cable - takes a sealed collar. Penetrations are where termites most often get in unseen.
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
An APVMA-registered termiticide into the soil, optionally with a reticulation pipe network so it can be recharged later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Protection for bearers, piers and suspended timber floors on sloping or 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 Eveleigh
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
It costs far less now than retrofitting later, and vastly less than repairing termite damage.
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
The only time pipe penetrations and slab joints can be properly protected is before the concrete covers them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
There are areas no later treatment can reach - an under-slab system covers them.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier must have the installation certificate and durable notice before the Occupation Certificate can issue.
Resale Confidence
Buyers, building inspectors and lenders all take comfort from documented, compliant termite protection.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Eveleigh
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 | A physical collar sealed around every pipe and conduit crossing the slab | Long service life when fitted properly ahead of the pour | All slabs. Usually combined with 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 | A pipe network installed ahead of paving, allowing the soil to be re-treated by pumping | Can be topped up throughout the building's life without digging up paving | Homes surrounded by paving or heavy landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | In-ground stations used to monitor and eliminate the colony | Stations have to be serviced regularly | Existing homes. See termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Eveleigh
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 slab details, and we will recommend a system with a fixed price for each stage.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
All service penetrations are collared, and the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment goes in once the site is prepared.
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
A chemical perimeter or reticulation system, where specified, is completed around the building before any paving or landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is documented on a durable notice in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to builder and certifier.
06
Handover Advice
The owner receives advice on maintenance plus a recommended inspection schedule to maintain the system.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
We schedule around the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour. Tell us when services are in and we will confirm the collar installation before the pour inspection.
- Collars to every penetration before concrete goes down
- Slab edge and cavity barriers fitted while the walls go up
- Perimeter done before any paving goes down
Multi-unit and repeat work
Consistent pricing, one point of contact and per-lot documentation for developers and volume builders.
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 Eveleigh
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 at least 75 mm of slab edge left visible - keep soil, mulch and paving off it
- Keep garden beds and stacked timber off the walls
- Keep the weep holes clear of render and debris
- Fix leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the house
- Tell the builder or installer first if the slab needs drilling
- Make sure any new pipes or extensions are protected as well
- A timber pest inspection is due at least once 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 Eveleigh
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | Larger footprints need more membrane, more perimeter protection and more labour |
| System type | There is a real price difference between under-slab physical, perimeter-only, chemical and reticulation systems |
| Number of penetrations | Every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab needs a collar |
| Complexity of the site | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone cuts and suspended floors each add detailing |
| Site visits required | Staging follows the build program; multi-dwelling sites may be combined into fewer visits |

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 does pre-construction termite barriers cost in Eveleigh?
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 Eveleigh. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How quickly can you get to Eveleigh?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 3.4 km south-west of the city here, and Eveleigh is covered by the Sydney CBD & Inner City team.
Why do termites keep coming back in Eveleigh?
The building is the unit of the problem, not the apartment. Shared risers, bin rooms and wall cavities connect every lot, so termites established anywhere in the block can reach any flat in it.
Is Eveleigh mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
High-rise and walk-up blocks, so we scope the building as well as the apartment when the pattern points to common property.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Eveleigh?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Eveleigh 2015 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Generally no. We will tell you on arrival if any part of the job means keeping out of a room for a while, so there are no surprises.
How long does the treatment take?
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
What if the termites come back?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Which areas around Eveleigh do you cover?
We cover the whole of Eveleigh, from the streets around Broadway Shopping Centre out to the suburb boundary and on into Darlington.
