Local Pre-Construction Termite Barriers for Jannali
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Jannali.
Postcode 2226 covers Jannali and the streets immediately around it. At about 21.2 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Sutherland Shire, where we have vans out daily. We run Jannali on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Jannali we work the pockets near Kareela Golf Course, Jannali station and Alice Street Reserve most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Jannali is in the Sutherland Shire area, and we cover Como, Bonnet Bay and Kareela on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your termite problem has come from next door. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
What we see in Jannali is homes on sloping blocks with a sub-floor and bush on the boundary. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
We cover the remainder of 2226 as well, from Ninth Avenue Reserve through to Kareela Shopping Centre.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Como and Bonnet Bay sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2226 come up regularly.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
Everything about a barrier is easier before the pour. That is the whole argument for getting it 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 Jannali build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
A barrier does not stop being compliant when a garden bed goes in over it, but it does stop being inspectable - which amounts to the same thing a few years later.
- Fixed quote from your plans
- Staged installation that fits your 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 Jannali
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
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
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
An APVMA-registered termiticide into the soil, optionally with a reticulation pipe network so it can be recharged later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Sloping and elevated blocks get their piers, bearers and suspended timber floors 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 Jannali
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
An under-slab system protects areas no post-construction treatment can reach.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier must have the installation certificate and durable notice before the Occupation Certificate can issue.
Resale Confidence
Compliant, documented termite protection is something buyers, building inspectors and lenders all look for.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Jannali
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 termite-resistant layer (sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone particles) that termites can't chew through, laid under the slab or at the perimeter | Designed to last as long as the slab if it isn't disturbed. No chemical top-ups. | Slab-on-ground homes and owners who want a non-chemical option |
| Penetration collars | Collars sealed physically around each pipe and conduit passing through the slab | Durable provided they are installed correctly before the pour | Every slab, and normally paired 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 | 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 Jannali
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
Collars go onto every service penetration, and once the site is prepared the under-slab membrane or the chemical treatment is installed.
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
The chemical perimeter or reticulation system, if specified, goes in around the completed building before paving and 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
Maintenance advice and an inspection schedule go to the owner, so the system keeps doing its job.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Jannali

| Installation certificate | A written statement of system, products, protected areas and installer licence | Builder, certifier and the owner's records |
| Product information | The details of whichever physical system or termiticide was used, with safety data sheets for any chemical | Builder and owner |

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.
- Collars to every penetration before concrete goes down
- Slab edge and cavity barrier as walls go up
- The perimeter finished before paving starts
Multi-unit and repeat work
Consistent pricing across the project, a single point of contact, and documentation for every lot or dwelling.
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 Jannali
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 slab edge exposed so it can be inspected, clear of soil, mulch and paving
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Keep weep holes free of render and any debris
- Deal with leaks from taps, downpipes and hot water units close to the house
- Before drilling through the slab, tell the builder or the installer
- Check protection extends to any new pipes or extensions
- Have the property inspected for timber pests at least annually
- File the durable notice and installation certificate with your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Jannali
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area and perimeter | A bigger footprint means more membrane, more perimeter work and more hours |
| System chosen | Full under-slab physical, perimeter-only, chemical and reticulation options are each priced differently |
| Number of penetrations | A collar is needed for each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab |
| Site complexity | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors add detailing |
| Number of visits | The staged install follows your build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Jannali
A documented, serviced termite management system is something a Jannali buyer's pest inspector will note favourably. The absence of paperwork is something they will note the other way.
A barrier is a continuous system, so it fails at the join. On Jannali sites the usual culprits are a penetration added after our visit and a section of slab edge covered before anyone inspected it.
We install across 2226 and the surrounding Sutherland Shire - new builds, knock-down rebuilds, extensions and owner-builder projects around Ninth Avenue Reserve and beyond.

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 QuoteHow much does pre-construction termite barriers cost in Jannali?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Jannali 2226. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How quickly can you get to Jannali?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Jannali sits roughly 21.2 km south-west of the CBD, inside our Sutherland Shire run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Why are termites such a problem in Jannali?
The reserve next door is a permanent population you cannot treat. All that is in question is how easily termites cross from it into the building, which is a perimeter problem.
What sort of properties do you treat in Jannali?
Houses on larger, often sloping blocks with bush on at least one boundary, so the perimeter and the fence line are central to the job.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Jannali?
We do all of those. A good share of the Jannali jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
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.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
How long will the technician be on site?
Most pre-construction termite barriers jobs in a Jannali 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 inside that period does not cost you anything.
Do you cover the suburbs around Jannali too?
We do. Jannali and Como, Bonnet Bay, Kareela and Sutherland are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
