SERVICING MAYS HILL
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Across Mays Hill
What we cover in Mays Hill, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in Mays Hill or anywhere else in 2145, you are in our Greater Parramatta & Cumberland patch, 21.1 km west of the CBD. We run Mays Hill on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Mays Hill jobs are in the streets around Westfield Parramatta and Westfield Parramatta, and we are out near Westmead station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Under City of Parramatta and Cumberland, we cover Mays Hill and Westmead, Parramatta and Merrylands alike. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
The termite calls we take from Mays Hill are mostly apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
We cover the remainder of 2145 as well, from Westmead station through to Freame Park.
The 2145 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Westmead and Parramatta fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
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.
It is not guidance. It is the benchmark a private certifier assesses against, which is why we install to the approved plan rather than to habit.
The value of the system on a Mays Hill home is detectability. Without the inspections that detectability is never used.
- Your plans priced as a fixed quote
- Installation staged around 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 Mays Hill
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
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
An APVMA-registered termiticide into the soil, optionally with a reticulation pipe network so it can be recharged later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
On a sloping or elevated site, the bearers, piers and suspended timber floor are all protected.
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 Mays Hill
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
A pre-construction barrier costs far less than a retrofitted system or repairs to termite damage later.
Required by the NCC
If a new Class 1 home or Class 10 outbuilding has termite-susceptible primary building elements, a compliant system is required.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Full protection of pipe penetrations and slab joints is possible only before the concrete is poured over them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
An under-slab system protects areas no post-construction treatment can reach.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
The Occupation Certificate will not be issued until the certifier has the installation certificate and durable notice.
Resale Confidence
Buyers, inspectors and lenders all respond to documented, compliant termite protection.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Mays Hill
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 | 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 | 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 laid before paving, allowing termiticide to be pumped into the soil later | Can be recharged for the life of the building without lifting paths | Houses 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 Mays Hill
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Send the plans and slab details - we will specify a system and fix the price for each 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
The perimeter and cavity barriers are fitted as brickwork or cladding progresses, so there is never a 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 maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule to keep the system effective.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Mays Hill

| Installation certificate | Written confirmation of the system and products installed, the areas protected and the installer's licence | The builder, the certifier and the owner's records |
| Product information | Information on the physical system or termiticide applied, including chemical safety data sheets | The builder and the owner |
| Maintenance & inspection advice | How the barrier is kept effective, plus the inspection frequency AS 3660.2 recommends | The homeowner |
FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
We work to the plumber's set-out and the concreter's program. Let us know when the services are in and collars are confirmed before the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars fitted before the pour
- Slab edge and cavity barrier going in with the walls
- The perimeter is completed prior to paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Volume builders and developers get the same pricing throughout, a single contact, and paperwork for each 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 Mays Hill
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- Keep a minimum 75 mm of the slab edge clear as the inspection zone, free of soil, mulch and paving.
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Keep weep holes clear and free of render and debris
- Fix leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the house
- Let your builder or installer know before anything is drilled through the slab
- Check that new pipes or extensions are protected too
- A timber pest inspection is due at least once every 12 months
- File the durable notice and installation certificate with the property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Mays Hill
| 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 |
| How many penetrations | Each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires its own collar |
| 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 Mays Hill
Clearing removes the trees, not the nests. Stumps and root systems left in the ground around Mays Hill developments keep colonies alive right under the new slabs.
It is one of the few construction details that still matters commercially fifteen years later.
Clay soils also hold moisture against the slab, which is the condition termites want. The barrier matters more on those blocks, not less.

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 Mays Hill?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in Mays Hill. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Mays Hill?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Mays Hill is about 21.1 km west of the CBD in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
What makes Mays Hill prone to termites?
Joined housing is the reason. Where walls, roof voids and sub-floors are continuous between properties, termites are a street-level problem rather than a house-level one.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Mays Hill?
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
Do you treat units and rentals in Mays Hill?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Mays Hill 2145 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Usually not. Most pre-construction termite barriers work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
How much time should I allow?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Mays Hill property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Do you cover the suburbs around Mays Hill too?
Yes - we work right across the City of Parramatta and Cumberland area, which takes in Mays Hill and the suburbs around it.
