LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Kellyville
Where Kellyville sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Our Hills District technicians cover Kellyville and the rest of 2155 as a matter of course - it is only about 29.3 km north-west of the city. We cover Kellyville on scheduled runs through the Hills District, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
If you are near Bernie Mullane Sports Complex, The North Village or Castle Hill Country Club, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Kellyville for us.
Our runs through Kellyville also take in Beaumont Hills, North Kellyville and Stanhope Gardens. With bushland close by there is constant pressure from outside, so the perimeter and the fence line get as much attention as the house.
The bulk of our Kellyville work is properties where the fence line matters as much as the kitchen. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Greyfair Place Reserve and the remainder of 2155 are on the same run.
The 2155 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Beaumont Hills and North Kellyville fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

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 Kellyville build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
We photograph each penetration as it is treated, so there is a record of what was done rather than an assurance.
Everything about a barrier is easier before the pour. That is the whole argument for getting it right the first time.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installation staged around your 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 Kellyville
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
Before the pour, a termite-resistant membrane goes across the prepared ground, protecting the full slab footprint.
Penetration Collars
Collars sealed to every plumbing pipe, conduit and service that passes through the slab. These are the most common hidden entry points for termites.
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
APVMA-registered termiticide applied to the soil, with the option of a reticulation pipe network so the barrier can be recharged later without digging.
Suspended Floors & Piers
On a sloping or elevated site, the bearers, piers and suspended timber floor are all protected.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Detailing against retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs and cut-and-fill sites common across Sydney.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Kellyville
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 Class 1 homes and Class 10 outbuildings need a compliant termite management system where the primary building elements are susceptible.
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
Areas no post-construction treatment can ever reach are covered by an under-slab system.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier needs the installation certificate and durable notice before issuing the Occupation Certificate.
Resale Confidence
Having the termite protection documented and compliant reassures buyers, inspectors and lenders alike.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Kellyville
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 layer of sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone that termites cannot chew through, laid under the slab or at the perimeter | Lasts the life of the slab where it is left undisturbed, with no chemical recharging | Slab-on-ground homes, and owners who would rather not use chemicals |
| Penetration collars | Physical collars sealed around all pipes and conduits penetrating the slab | Correctly installed before the pour, they last | All slabs, normally combined with a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | A treated zone of termiticide in the soil under and around the building | Service life depends on the product label and soil conditions. It can be re-applied. | Budget-conscious builds and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | Pipework installed before paving so the soil can be re-treated by pumping | Can be topped up for the life of the building with no excavation of paths | Houses surrounded by paving or landscaped areas |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Ground stations used for monitoring and then baiting out the colony | Regular servicing of each station is required | For existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Kellyville
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
With your plans and slab details we recommend a system and price every stage, fixed.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Every service gets its collar, then the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment is installed on the prepared site.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Perimeter and cavity barriers are installed with the brickwork or cladding, closing any gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
A specified chemical perimeter or reticulation is completed around the finished building, ahead of the paving and the landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is recorded on a durable notice in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to both the builder and the certifier.
06
Handover Advice
At handover the owner gets maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule so the system stays effective.

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 on the penetrations ahead of the pour
- Slab edge and cavity barrier as walls go up
- The perimeter is completed prior to paving
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 Kellyville
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
- Don't construct garden beds or stack timber against the building
- Make sure weep holes are not rendered over or blocked with debris
- Get leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the building fixed
- Tell the builder or installer first if the slab needs drilling
- Make sure any new pipes or extensions are protected as well
- Book a timber pest inspection at least once every 12 months
- Store the durable notice and installation certificate with the property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Kellyville
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | The bigger the footprint, the more membrane, perimeter protection and labour required |
| System chosen | Full under-slab physical, perimeter-only, chemical and reticulation options are each 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 |
| 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 Kellyville
Attached garages, pergolas, alfresco slabs and later additions all need to be in the system. On Kellyville builds the alfresco slab poured separately is the one most often left out.
Clearing removes the trees, not the nests. Stumps and root systems left in the ground around Kellyville developments keep colonies alive right under the new slabs.
If a system is going to fail it fails at a detail, not across the whole footprint. That is why we photograph each penetration and each stage as it is completed.

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 Kellyville?
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 Kellyville 2155, with no call-out fee. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Kellyville?
At roughly 29.3 km north-west of the city, Kellyville is on a route we run regularly. We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why are termites such a problem in Kellyville?
Where bushland adjoins the block, the question is not how termites got in but how often. The perimeter is what decides that.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Kellyville?
Homes with sub-floors and roof voids backing onto reserve - we inspect all three plus the boundary.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Kellyville?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Kellyville 2155 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.

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 will the technician be on site?
Between one and two hours covers the majority of jobs. We do not book so tightly that a technician has to cut a job short.

Is Kellyville inside your service area?
