LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Long Point
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Long Point.
Postcode 2564 covers Long Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 32.9 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Macarthur, where we have vans out daily. We cover Long Point on scheduled runs through the Macarthur, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
Around Long Point we work the pockets near Towards Park, Simmos Beach and Lantana Park most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
We work under the Campbelltown and Camden area here, and Macquarie Fields, Minto Heights and Ingleburn are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Estate blocks are compact with narrow side passages, so access and the perimeter are where most of the work happens.
Long Point jobs tend to be newer homes on small blocks where next door has the same problem. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Every part of 2564 is covered as standard.
The 2564 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Macquarie Fields and Minto Heights fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
A barrier is only as good as its weakest penetration. One untreated conduit gives a colony a clean route into the frame.
The slab type changes the detail completely. A waffle pod slab has pods and perimeter beams to work around, a raft slab has different edge detailing, and a suspended floor needs the piers and bearers protected instead. We specify from the engineering, not from habit.
A pre-construction barrier goes in while the slab is open. Once the concrete is poured and the frame is up, the same protection costs several times as much and never covers the same ground. On a Long Point build this is genuinely a now-or-never detail.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Installed in stages that follow your build program
- A physical system, a chemical system, or both together
- Durable notice and certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Long 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
The whole slab footprint is protected by a termite-resistant membrane laid onto the prepared ground before concrete goes down.
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
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
Termiticide registered with the APVMA goes into the soil, and a reticulation pipe network can be added so later recharging needs no digging.
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 Long Point
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Doing it now is far cheaper than retrofitting a system later, and cheaper again than repairing termite damage.
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
Pipe penetrations and slab joints can only be fully protected before concrete covers them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
An under-slab system protects the parts of the footprint no later treatment can access.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
No Occupation Certificate is issued without the installation certificate and durable notice going to the certifier.
Resale Confidence
Buyers, inspectors and lenders all respond to documented, compliant termite protection.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Long 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 | Sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone creating a layer termites cannot chew through, under the slab or at the perimeter | As durable as the slab itself when left undisturbed, with no top-ups needed | Slab-on-ground homes 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 | Termiticide applied to create a treated soil zone under and around the building | Its life comes down to the product label and the soil, and re-application is available | Budget builds and a number of complex sites |
| Reticulation system | A pipe network installed ahead of paving, allowing the soil to be re-treated by pumping | Can be topped up throughout the building's life without digging up paving | Homes surrounded by paving or heavy landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Monitoring stations set into the ground, baited to eliminate the colony | Regular servicing of the stations is needed | For existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Long Point
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Plans and slab details to us, and you get a system recommendation plus a fixed price stage by stage.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Every service through the slab is collared first, then the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment goes down on the prepared site.
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
A chemical perimeter or reticulation system, where specified, is completed around the building before any paving or landscaping.
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
Maintenance advice and an inspection schedule go to the owner, so the system keeps doing its job.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
We schedule around the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour. Tell us when services are in and we will confirm the collar installation before the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars installed prior to the pour
- Slab edge and cavity barrier going in with the walls
- Perimeter done before any paving goes down
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
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 Long Point
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- Keep at least 75 mm of the slab edge exposed as the inspection zone. Don't cover it with soil, mulch or paving.
- Keep garden beds and stacked timber away from the house
- Weep holes stay open - no render across them, no debris in them
- Fix leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the house
- Tell your builder or installer before drilling through the slab
- New pipes and extensions need bringing into the system too
- Have the property inspected for timber pests at least annually
- Keep the durable notice and installation certificate with your property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Long Point
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab area & perimeter length | A larger footprint requires more membrane, more perimeter work and more labour |
| Type of system | Pricing differs between full under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems, and chemical or reticulation options |
| How many services | Each service penetrating the slab, plumbing or electrical, needs a collar |
| Site complexity | Extra detailing comes with retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors |
| How many visits | Installations are staged to the build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

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 Long Point?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Long Point and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Long Point?
At roughly 32.9 km south-west of the city, Long Point 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.
What makes Long Point prone to termites?
The ground here was cleared and rebuilt recently, which displaced whatever lived in it, and the blocks are close enough that termites move between them along the fence lines.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Long Point?
Recent estate housing - slab on ground, narrow side passages, young landscaping. The perimeter does most of the work.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Long Point?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Long Point 2564 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is the treatment safe around children 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 of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
How long will the technician be on site?
Most pre-construction termite barriers jobs in a Long Point 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. If it is not holding, call us - that is exactly what the warranty is for.
Is Long Point inside your service area?
We cover the whole of Long Point, from the streets around Lantana Park out to the suburb boundary and on into Macquarie Fields.
