LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Naremburn
Where Naremburn sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat termites right across 2065. Naremburn is roughly 5.7 km north of the city, which puts it well inside the Lower North Shore run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Naremburn most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Northbridge Plaza and Cammeray Golf Course in Naremburn, and St Leonards station is close enough to be on the same run.
Under North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill, we cover Naremburn and Crows Nest, Willoughby and Cammeray alike. 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.
The termite calls we take from Naremburn are mostly older homes near the water with a sub-floor that never fully dries. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Beyond that we are regularly around Fred Hutley Reserve, and out as far as Willoughby Leisure Centre. If you are anywhere in 2065, you are inside the area we run.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Crows Nest and Willoughby are covered on the same round, 2065 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
Tell whoever does the landscaping on your Naremburn build to keep soil, mulch and paving below the slab edge. It is the single most common way a good system is quietly defeated.
The value is detectability. A Naremburn house with a barrier and no inspections has half a system.
AS 3660.1 is the standard for termite management in new construction, and it is what the certifier signs against. A Naremburn build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
- Fixed quote from your plans
- Installed in stages that follow your build program
- Physical, chemical, or the two combined
- Durable notice and installation certificate, ready for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Naremburn
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 sheet membrane that termites cannot pass, laid across the prepared ground before the pour so the entire footprint is covered.
Penetration Collars
A collar is sealed around each plumbing pipe, conduit and service passing through the slab, because those are the most common hidden entry points.
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
A soil-applied APVMA-registered termiticide, with the option of reticulation pipework allowing recharge later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Piers, bearers and suspended timber floors protected, which matters on sloping and elevated blocks.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Specific detailing where there are retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs or cut-and-fill, as is common across Sydney.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Naremburn
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
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
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 covers ground that nothing applied after construction can get to.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
The installation certificate and durable notice have to reach the certifier before the Occupation Certificate is issued.
Resale Confidence
Documented, compliant termite protection reassures buyers, building inspectors and lenders.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Naremburn
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 physical layer - membrane, stainless mesh or graded stone - that termites cannot get through, beneath the slab or at its edge | Intended to last the life of the slab if not disturbed, and requires no chemical top-up | Slab-on-ground builds, and owners who want to avoid chemicals |
| Penetration collars | A physical collar sealed around every pipe and conduit crossing the slab | Long service life when fitted properly ahead of the pour | All slabs. Usually combined with a perimeter system. |
| Chemical soil barrier | Termiticide forming a treated zone in the soil beneath and around the building | How long it lasts depends on the label and the soil, and it can be re-applied | Builds working to a budget, and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | A pipe network put in ahead of paving, letting termiticide be pumped into the soil later | Rechargeable for as long as the building stands, without digging paths up | Homes enclosed by paving or landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | In-ground monitoring stations that eliminate the colony | Stations need regular servicing | Existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Naremburn
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Give us the plans and slab details; back comes a recommended system and a fixed price for every 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
Perimeter and cavity barriers are installed with the brickwork or cladding, closing any gap at the slab edge.
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 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
The owner receives advice on maintenance plus a recommended inspection schedule to maintain the system.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Our scheduling follows the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour date. Once services are in, tell us and we confirm collars before the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars before the pour
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- Perimeter work completed ahead of paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Developers and volume builders get consistent pricing, 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 Naremburn
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- At least 75 mm of slab edge has to stay exposed for inspection. Don't bury it under soil, mulch or paving.
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Keep weep holes clear and free of render and 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
- Any new pipes or extensions should be protected as well
- Have a timber pest inspection at least every 12 months
- File the durable notice and installation certificate with your property records
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Naremburn
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab size and perimeter run | Larger slabs need more membrane and perimeter protection, and more labour |
| System type | There is a real price difference between under-slab physical, perimeter-only, chemical and reticulation systems |
| How many penetrations | Each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires its own collar |
| Complexity of the site | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone cuts and suspended floors each 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 Naremburn
Attached garages, pergolas, alfresco slabs and later additions all need to be in the system. On Naremburn builds the alfresco slab poured separately is the one most often left out.
Clay soils also hold moisture against the slab, which is the condition termites want. The barrier matters more on those blocks, not less.
Anywhere in Naremburn is within the area we attend for pre-construction work, including sites the larger operators will not travel to.

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 Naremburn?
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 Naremburn. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Naremburn?
At roughly 5.7 km north of the city, Naremburn is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why do termites keep coming back in Naremburn?
Sub-floor ventilation on these older homes was designed for an open garden, and most of those gardens are now paved or planted out. The damp that leaves behind is what sustains termites.
What sort of properties do you treat in Naremburn?
Large older homes and converted apartments, with damp lower levels the recurring theme.
Do you treat units and rentals in Naremburn?
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Naremburn 2065, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
How much time should I allow?
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
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.
Which areas around Naremburn do you cover?
All of them. Naremburn sits alongside Crows Nest, Willoughby, Cammeray and Northbridge in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
