SERVICING HUNTERS HILL
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Across Hunters Hill
Where Hunters Hill sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Hunters Hill sits about 7.2 km north-west of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and postcode 2110 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Hunters Hill most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Hunters Hill work takes in the streets by Fig Tree Park and Parramatta River Regional Park, through to Gladesville Shopping Centre at the other end.
North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill is the council area for Hunters Hill, and we treat Linley Point, Longueville and Riverview on the same schedule. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
Around Hunters Hill 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.
Wherever you are in 2110, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Linley Point and Longueville are covered on the same round, 2110 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
People expect a barrier to be a wall. It is a managed zone: termites either cannot cross it or must build visible workings to do so.
The exposed slab edge is a designed part of the system: it is where an inspector can see workings before they reach the frame. Most of the failed inspection zones we find on Hunters Hill homes were buried by a landscaper who was never told.
Retro-fitting means drilling and injecting a finished slab, working around landscaping and services. It is slower, more expensive and less complete than doing it at construction on a Hunters Hill block.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installed in stages that follow your build program
- Physical and chemical systems, and combinations of the two
- The durable notice and certificate the certifier needs
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Hunters Hill
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
Collars are sealed to every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab, the most frequent concealed entry route there is.
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
APVMA-registered termiticide into the soil, with optional reticulation pipework for recharging the barrier later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
On a sloping or elevated site, the bearers, piers and suspended timber floor are all protected.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Detailed work against retaining walls, sandstone cuts, step-downs and the cut-and-fill sites common around Sydney.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Hunters Hill
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Installing at construction costs a fraction of retrofitting a system, let alone repairing termite damage later.
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
Once concrete covers them, pipe penetrations and slab joints cannot be fully protected - it has to happen before the pour.
Whole-Footprint Protection
An under-slab system protects areas no post-construction treatment can reach.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier needs the installation certificate and durable notice before issuing the Occupation Certificate.
Resale Confidence
Compliant, documented termite protection is something buyers, building inspectors and lenders all look for.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Hunters Hill
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 every pipe and conduit through the slab | Long-lasting when installed correctly before the pour | Every slab. Usually combined with a perimeter system. |
| Chemical soil barrier | A treated zone created with termiticide in the soil below and around the building | The label and the soil conditions set the service life; it can be re-applied | Builds with tighter budgets, and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | Pipes laid in before the paving goes down, so termiticide can be pumped back into the soil | Recharging is possible for the building's life without disturbing paths | Properties 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 Hunters Hill
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 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 brickwork or cladding goes up, so there is no gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
Where specified, a chemical perimeter or reticulation system is completed 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
At handover the owner is given maintenance advice and the recommended inspection schedule that keeps the system effective.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Our scheduling follows the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour date. Once services are in, tell us and we confirm collars before the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars fitted before the pour
- Slab edge and cavity barrier as walls go up
- Perimeter work completed ahead of 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
Missing durable notices and unclear installation records hold up occupation certificates regularly. We hand over the full set together.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Hunters Hill
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
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Keep weep holes free of render and any debris
- Any leak near the house - tap, downpipe, hot water unit - needs fixing
- Tell your builder or installer before drilling through the slab
- New pipework and extensions need protecting too - check that they are
- Timber pest inspections at least every 12 months
- The durable notice and installation certificate belong with your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Hunters Hill
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | The bigger the footprint, the more membrane, perimeter protection and labour required |
| Type of system | Pricing differs between full under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems, and chemical or reticulation options |
| 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 |
| Site visits required | Staging follows the build program; multi-dwelling sites may be combined into fewer visits |

Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Hunters Hill
Estates built on cleared farmland inherit the colonies already living in that soil. A new Hunters Hill house is not a fresh start from a termite point of view - it is a new food source on an established site.
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.
Our barrier work takes in Hunters Hill and across toward Linley Point, on single builds and multi-lot developments alike.

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 Hunters Hill?
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 Hunters Hill 2110, with no call-out fee. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How quickly can you get to Hunters Hill?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Hunters Hill is about 7.2 km north-west 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 Hunters Hill?
Much of the housing near the harbour is old, with suspended floors and sub-floors that hold damp. Add mature gardens running to the boundary and termites have both shelter and moisture.
What sort of properties do you treat in Hunters Hill?
Period homes and converted apartments with original timber, sub-floors and established gardens, all of which get inspected.
Do you treat units and rentals in Hunters Hill?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Hunters Hill 2110 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids 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?
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?
Most pre-construction termite barriers jobs in a Hunters Hill home take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much of it is affected.
What happens if it is not fixed?
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.
Is Hunters Hill inside your service area?
Yes. As well as Hunters Hill we cover Linley Point, Longueville, Riverview and Chiswick on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
