Local Pre-Construction Termite Barriers for Kurraba Point
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Kurraba Point.
We treat termites right across 2089. Kurraba Point is roughly 3.1 km north-east of the city, which puts it well inside the Lower North Shore run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Kurraba Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Milsons Point station and North Sydney station in Kurraba Point, and Wrixton Park is close enough to be on the same run.
North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill is the council area for Kurraba Point, and we treat Cremorne Point, Kirribilli and Neutral Bay 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.
Most Kurraba Point bookings come in as older homes near the water with a sub-floor that never fully dries. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Beyond that we are regularly around Milson Park, and out as far as Milson Village. If you are anywhere in 2089, you are inside the area we run.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Cremorne Point and Kirribilli are covered on the same round, 2089 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
The standard covers the system, the installation and the documentation. All three have to be right - a correctly installed system with missing paperwork still holds up a Kurraba Point handover.
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 Kurraba Point block.
We photograph each penetration as it is treated, so there is a record of what was done rather than an assurance.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installed stage by stage to your build program
- Physical and chemical systems, and combinations of the two
- Durable notice plus certificate, for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Kurraba Point
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 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 at the slab edge and continuing into the wall cavity, preventing concealed tunnelling up the slab's outside face.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
APVMA-registered termiticide into the soil, with optional reticulation pipework for recharging the barrier later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
For sloping or elevated sites, protection covering the piers, bearers and suspended timber floor.
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 Kurraba Point
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Compared with a retrofit - or with repairing damage - a pre-construction barrier is a small cost.
Required by the NCC
The NCC requires a compliant system on Class 1 dwellings and Class 10 outbuildings where primary building elements are termite-susceptible.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Pipe penetrations and slab joints can only be fully protected before concrete covers them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
Under-slab protection reaches areas that post-construction treatment simply cannot.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Before issuing the Occupation Certificate, the certifier requires both the installation certificate and the durable notice.
Resale Confidence
Compliant, documented termite protection is something buyers, building inspectors and lenders all look for.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Kurraba Point
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 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 | 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 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) | In-ground stations that monitor and then eliminate the colony | The stations require servicing on a regular schedule | Existing homes - see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Kurraba Point
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 the slab details and you get back a recommended system with a fixed price against every stage.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Penetration collars to all services first, then the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment once the site is ready.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
As the brickwork or cladding rises, perimeter and cavity barriers go in so the slab edge is left with no gap.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
Where it is specified, the chemical perimeter or reticulation system is finished around the completed building before any paving or landscaping goes in.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The meter box carries a durable notice recording the system, and the builder and certifier each receive the installation certificate.
06
Handover Advice
Handover includes maintenance advice and the recommended inspection schedule for keeping the system effective.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Kurraba Point

| Installation certificate | Written confirmation of the installed system and products, the areas protected, and the licence of the installer | The builder, the certifier and the owner's records |
| Product information | Details of the physical system or the termiticide used, with safety data sheets for chemicals | The builder and the owner |
| Maintenance & inspection advice | What keeps the barrier working, and the inspection frequency recommended by AS 3660.2 | The homeowner |
FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
We schedule to the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour, confirming collar installation before the pour inspection once services are in.
- 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
For developers and volume builders: consistent pricing, one point of contact, and documentation issued 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 Kurraba Point
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 the slab edge visible as an inspection zone - no soil, mulch or paving over it.
- Don't build garden beds or stack timber against the house
- Keep render and debris out of the weep holes
- Fix leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the house
- Tell your builder or installer before drilling through the slab
- New pipework and extensions need protecting too - check that they are
- A timber pest inspection is needed at least every 12 months
- Keep the durable notice and installation certificate with your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Kurraba Point
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab size and perimeter run | Larger slabs need more membrane and perimeter protection, and more labour |
| Which system | A full under-slab physical system, a perimeter-only system, and chemical or reticulation options all price differently |
| Number of penetrations | A collar is needed for each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab |
| Site conditions | Detailing increases with retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors |
| Number of site visits | Staged installations follow the build program. Multi-dwelling sites may be combined. |

The assumption that a new build is low risk is backwards. New construction on previously vegetated land is exactly where we see early activity.
A documented, serviced termite management system is something a Kurraba Point buyer's pest inspector will note favourably. The absence of paperwork is something they will note the other way.
Our barrier work takes in Kurraba Point and across toward Cremorne Point, on single builds and multi-lot developments alike.

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 Kurraba Point?
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 Kurraba Point 2089. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Kurraba Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 3.1 km north-east of the city here, and Kurraba Point is covered by the Lower North Shore team.
Why do termites keep coming back in Kurraba Point?
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 Kurraba Point?
Period homes with sub-floors and mature gardens. The inspection covers the sub-floor, the perimeter and the planting, not just the interior.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Kurraba Point?
We do all of those. A good share of the Kurraba Point jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
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 will the technician be on site?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Kurraba Point property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
Is there a warranty if they return?
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 Kurraba Point inside your service area?
We do. Kurraba Point and Cremorne Point, Kirribilli, Neutral Bay and Milsons Point are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
