Local Pre-Construction Termite Barriers for Point Piper
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Point Piper.
Our Eastern Suburbs technicians cover Point Piper and the rest of 2027 as a matter of course - it is only about 3.9 km east of the city. Our technicians are through Point Piper most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Woollahra Golf Club and Rose Bay Park in Point Piper, and Seven Shillings Beach is close enough to be on the same run.
This is the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area, and our runs here also take in Double Bay, Darling Point and Bellevue Hill. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
What we see in Point Piper is unit blocks a street or two back from the water, plus the odd beachfront cafe. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Beyond that we cover the rest of 2027, including the streets around Royal Arcade.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Double Bay and Darling Point sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2027 come up regularly.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
The exposed slab edge is a designed part of the system: it is where an inspector can see workings before they reach the frame. Most of the failed inspection zones we find on Point Piper homes were buried by a landscaper who was never told.
A barrier is only as good as its weakest penetration. One untreated conduit gives a colony a clean route into the frame.
AS 3660.1 is the standard for termite management in new construction, and it is what the certifier signs against. A Point Piper build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Each stage installed to suit the build program
- Physical, chemical and combination systems
- Durable notice plus certificate, for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Point Piper
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 are sealed to every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab, the most frequent concealed entry route there is.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
Slab edge and wall cavity are both barriered, blocking the concealed tunnels termites otherwise build up the outside.
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
Sloping and elevated blocks get their piers, bearers and suspended timber floors protected.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Retaining walls, sandstone cuts, step-downs and cut-and-fill sites are detailed individually - all of them common here.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Point Piper
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Installing at construction costs a fraction of retrofitting a system, let alone repairing termite damage later.
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 covers ground that nothing applied after construction can get to.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Before issuing the Occupation Certificate, the certifier requires both the installation certificate and the durable notice.
Resale Confidence
Having the termite protection documented and compliant reassures buyers, inspectors and lenders alike.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Point Piper
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 termites cannot chew - sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone - laid beneath the slab or at the perimeter | Built to last the life of the slab provided it is not disturbed, with no chemical recharging | Slab-on-ground builds, and owners who would rather avoid chemicals |
| Penetration collars | A physical collar sealed around each pipe and conduit passing through the slab | Long service life where the install before the pour was done properly | Every slab, and usually alongside 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 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) | In-ground stations that monitor and then eliminate the colony | Stations need servicing on a regular schedule | Existing homes - see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Point Piper
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
We work from your drawings and slab details, specify a system, and fix the price stage by stage before anything is booked.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Collars go onto every service penetration, and once the site is prepared the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment is installed.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Perimeter and cavity barriers go in as the brickwork or cladding rises, so the slab edge is never left with a gap.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
The chemical perimeter or reticulation system, if specified, goes in around the completed building before paving and landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is documented on a durable notice in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to builder and certifier.
06
Handover Advice
The owner is given maintenance guidance and an inspection schedule that keeps the system effective.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Timing follows the plumbing set-out and the pour. Tell us when services are complete and we confirm the collars before the pour inspection.
- Collars to every penetration before concrete goes down
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- The perimeter is completed prior to 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
Occupation certificate delays usually trace to a missing durable notice or poor records. We give the certifier the full set in one go.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Point Piper
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
- Keep garden beds and stacked timber away from the house
- Weep holes stay open - no render across them, no debris in them
- Fix the leaks - taps, downpipes, hot water units - anywhere near the house
- Before drilling through the slab, tell the builder or the installer
- Make sure any new pipes or extensions are protected as well
- Book 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 Point Piper
| 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 |
| Number of penetrations | Every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires a collar |
| Site conditions | Detailing increases with retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors |
| How many attendances | Staged installations follow the build program, and multi-dwelling sites may be combined |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Point Piper
Pre-purchase inspections ask about the system and the notice. Having both in order removes a negotiating point from the buyer's side.
Reactive soil is the argument for a system that tolerates movement rather than a rigid one. We choose based on the soil report for the Point Piper site, not on a default.
A barrier is a continuous system, so it fails at the join. On Point Piper sites the usual culprits are a penetration added after our visit and a section of slab edge covered before anyone inspected it.

What is the wait for a technician in Point Piper?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 3.9 km east of the city here, and Point Piper is covered by the Eastern Suburbs team.
Why are termites such a problem in Point Piper?
The air never really dries out near the water, so sub-floors and lower rooms hold moisture through the year. termites need that damp more than they need food, and here they always have it.
What sort of properties do you treat in Point Piper?
Coastal housing here is a mix, but the damp lower level is consistent across most of it.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Point Piper?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Point Piper 2027 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
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?
An hour to two hours covers most jobs. The size of the building and the extent of the problem are what change it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
Which areas around Point Piper do you cover?
Yes. As well as Point Piper we cover Double Bay, Darling Point, Bellevue Hill and Rose Bay on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
