SERVICING HURLSTONE PARK
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Across Hurlstone Park
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Hurlstone Park.
We treat termites right across 2193. Hurlstone Park is roughly 8.7 km south-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Inner West run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Hurlstone Park most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Jack Shanahan Park and Ashfield Mall in Hurlstone Park, and Campsie Shopping Centre is close enough to be on the same run.
We work under the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area here, and Dulwich Hill, Canterbury and Earlwood are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Hurlstone Park jobs tend to be apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Our Hurlstone Park runs also take in Hurlstone Park station and the area near Canterbury station, so the whole postcode is served.
When you book, we confirm the 2193 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Dulwich Hill or Canterbury that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
AS 3660.1 is the standard for termite management in new construction, and it is what the certifier signs against. A Hurlstone Park build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
Everything about a barrier is easier before the pour. That is the whole argument for getting it 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.
- 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 certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Hurlstone Park
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 membrane laid across the prepared ground before the pour, protecting the whole 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
A physical barrier around the slab edge and into the wall cavity, which stops termites building concealed tunnels up the outside of the slab.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
The soil is treated with an APVMA-registered termiticide, and a reticulation network can be laid so recharging never means digging.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Bearers, piers and suspended timber floors protected on sloping and elevated 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 Hurlstone Park
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
A barrier installed during the build costs far less than one retrofitted afterwards or any damage repair.
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
Pipe penetrations and slab joints can be fully sealed only while the concrete has yet to cover them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
No post-construction treatment reaches under the slab. An under-slab system does.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
The certifier needs the installation certificate and the durable notice in hand to issue the Occupation Certificate.
Resale Confidence
Compliant, documented termite protection is something buyers, building inspectors and lenders all look for.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE
About to pour? Book the termite barrier before you do.
One call to a licensed Sydney technician gets you straight advice and a fixed quote within 30 minutes.
COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Hurlstone Park
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 | Membrane, stainless mesh or graded stone forming a layer termites cannot pass, beneath the slab or around the perimeter | Designed to last as long as the slab itself if undisturbed; no top-ups | Slab-on-ground construction and non-chemical preferences |
| Penetration collars | Collars physically sealed to every pipe and conduit through the slab | Long-lived where installation before the pour is done properly | Every slab, and typically with a perimeter system as well |
| 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) | In-ground monitoring stations that eliminate the colony | Stations need regular servicing | Existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Hurlstone Park
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
Service penetrations collared, and the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment installed once site preparation is done.
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
Where the design calls for it, the chemical perimeter or reticulation is completed around the finished building ahead of 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
The owner receives the maintenance guidance and an inspection schedule, which is what keeps the system doing its job.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Hurlstone Park

| Installation certificate | A written record of the system and products installed, which areas are protected, and the installer's licence number | The builder, the certifier and the owner's file |
| Product information | Specifications for the physical system or termiticide used, plus safety data sheets where chemicals are involved | Builder and owner |
| Maintenance & inspection advice | Keeping the barrier effective, and how often to inspect under AS 3660.2 | The homeowner |
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
- Slab edge and cavity barrier as 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
The common cause of occupation certificate delay is a missing durable notice or unclear records - so we supply everything together.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Hurlstone Park
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
- Weep holes stay open - no render across them, no debris in them
- Fix the leaks - taps, downpipes, hot water units - anywhere near the house
- Before drilling through the slab, tell the builder or the installer
- Make sure any new pipes or extensions are protected as well
- Book a timber pest inspection at least once 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 Hurlstone Park
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | The bigger the footprint, the more membrane, perimeter protection and labour required |
| System type | Full under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems and chemical or reticulation options are priced differently |
| Service penetrations | Every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab has to be collared |
| Difficulty of the site | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors add to the detailing |
| Site visits required | Staging follows the build program; multi-dwelling sites may be combined into fewer visits |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Hurlstone Park
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 Hurlstone Park site, not on a default.
A documented, serviced termite management system is something a Hurlstone Park buyer's pest inspector will note favourably. The absence of paperwork is something they will note the other way.
The assumption that a new build is low risk is backwards. New construction on previously vegetated land is exactly where we see early activity.

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 Hurlstone Park?
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 Hurlstone Park 2193, 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 Hurlstone Park?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Hurlstone Park sits roughly 8.7 km south-west of the CBD, inside our Inner West run, so we book a time and keep to it.
What makes Hurlstone Park prone to termites?
Two things stack up here: shared structure and old drainage. Either one on its own is manageable; together they are why termites in this kind of housing is a street-level problem.
Is Hurlstone Park mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Joined older housing, often with a paved rear courtyard holding damp against the wall. Both things shape the treatment.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Hurlstone Park?
We do. A lot of our Hurlstone Park work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, applied correctly. Products are registered for this use, placed out of reach rather than across open surfaces, and you will know what to stay off and for how long.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Normally you can stay. Some treatments mean keeping out of a particular room briefly, and we will flag that when we arrive so you can plan around it.
How long does the treatment take?
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
What happens if it is not fixed?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
Is Hurlstone Park inside your service area?
Yes - we work right across the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, which takes in Hurlstone Park and the suburbs around it.
