SERVICING REVESBY HEIGHTS
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Across Revesby Heights
Where Revesby Heights sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Revesby Heights or anywhere else in 2212, you are in our Canterbury-Bankstown patch, 20.8 km south-west of the CBD. We run Revesby Heights on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Revesby station and Padstow station in Revesby Heights, and Neptune Park is close enough to be on the same run.
We work under the Canterbury-Bankstown area here, and Picnic Point, Padstow Heights and Panania are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our Revesby Heights work is apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
We cover the remainder of 2212 as well, from Bruce Park through to Georges River National Park.
The 2212 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Picnic Point and Padstow Heights fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
Every pipe and conduit through the slab is a path. Each one needs its own collar or sealed detail, and the ones most often missed on Revesby Heights builds are the wet-area penetrations - shower wastes and bath traps.
AS 3660.1 is the standard for termite management in new construction, and it is what the certifier signs against. A Revesby Heights build without a compliant, certified system does not get its occupation certificate.
The value is detectability. A Revesby Heights house with a barrier and no inspections has half a system.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Staged installation that fits your build program
- A physical system, a chemical system, or both together
- Durable notice plus certificate, for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Revesby Heights
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
Laid on the prepared ground before the pour, this termite-resistant membrane protects the complete footprint of the slab.
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 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
APVMA-registered termiticide applied to the soil, with the option of a reticulation pipe network so the barrier can be recharged later without digging.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Bearers, piers and suspended timber floors protected on sloping and elevated sites.
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 Revesby Heights
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
Under-slab protection reaches areas that post-construction treatment simply cannot.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
The Occupation Certificate will not be issued until the certifier has the installation certificate and durable notice.
Resale Confidence
Documented, compliant termite protection reassures buyers, building inspectors and lenders.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Revesby Heights
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 termite-resistant layer (sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone particles) that termites can't chew through, laid under the slab or at the perimeter | Designed to last as long as the slab if it isn't disturbed. No chemical top-ups. | Slab-on-ground homes and owners who want a non-chemical option |
| 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 | 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) | Stations in the ground that monitor activity and eliminate the colony | They need servicing on a regular basis | Existing buildings - see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Revesby Heights
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
We work from your plans and slab details, recommending a system and quoting each stage at a fixed price.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Every service gets its collar, then the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment is installed on the prepared site.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Perimeter and cavity barriers installed as the walls go up, so no gap is left at the slab edge.
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
The owner receives the maintenance guidance and an inspection schedule, which is what keeps the system doing its job.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Revesby Heights

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
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- Perimeter work completed ahead of paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Consistent pricing, one point of contact and per-lot documentation for developers and volume builders.
Avoiding certification delays
A missing durable notice or unclear installation record is a common cause of occupation certificate delay. We supply the lot together so the certifier has everything.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Revesby Heights
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- The inspection zone needs at least 75 mm of slab edge left visible - keep soil, mulch and paving off it
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Make sure weep holes are not rendered over or blocked with debris
- Deal with leaks from taps, downpipes and hot water units close to the house
- Let your builder or installer know before anything is drilled through the slab
- Check that new pipework and any extension is protected as well
- A timber pest inspection is needed at least every 12 months
- Store the durable notice and installation certificate with the property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Revesby Heights
| 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 penetrations | Each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires its own collar |
| Site conditions | Detailing increases with retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors |
| Number of site visits | Staging follows the build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Revesby Heights
Attached garages, pergolas, alfresco slabs and later additions all need to be in the system. On Revesby Heights builds the alfresco slab poured separately is the one most often left out.
The failures we are called to inspect are rarely the product. They are a collar missed on a late-added pipe, a perimeter left short at a step-down, or a membrane torn by a trade after we left and never reported.
Our barrier work takes in Revesby Heights and across toward Picnic 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 does pre-construction termite barriers cost in Revesby Heights?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Revesby Heights 2212, with no call-out fee. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How quickly can you get to Revesby Heights?
At roughly 20.8 km south-west of the city, Revesby Heights is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
What makes Revesby Heights prone to termites?
Terraces and semis share walls, roof voids and sub-floors, so termites move between houses without ever going outside. That is the single biggest factor here.
Is Revesby Heights mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
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 Revesby Heights?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Revesby Heights 2212 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
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.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
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 does the treatment take?
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.
What happens if it is not fixed?
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.
Which areas around Revesby Heights do you cover?
We do. Revesby Heights and Picnic Point, Padstow Heights, Panania and Alfords Point are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
