Local Pre-Construction Termite Barriers for Wentworth Point
Where Wentworth Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat termites right across 2127. Wentworth Point is roughly 13 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the Inner West run our technicians work. We run Wentworth Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Wentworth Point we work the pockets near Rhodes Waterside Shopping Centre, Ryde Parramatta Golf Club and Rhodes station most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay is the council area for Wentworth Point, and we treat Rhodes, Liberty Grove and Newington on the same schedule. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our Wentworth Point 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 2127 as well, from Stromboli Park through to Newington Nature Reserve.
Bookings for 2127 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Rhodes and Liberty Grove often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
The standard covers the system, the installation and the documentation. All three have to be right - a correctly installed system with missing paperwork still holds up a Wentworth Point handover.
If a system is going to fail it fails at a detail, not across the whole footprint. That is why we photograph each penetration and each stage as it is completed.
We photograph each penetration as it is treated, so there is a record of what was done rather than an assurance.
- A fixed price quoted from the plans you send
- Staged installation that fits your build program
- Physical and chemical systems, and combinations of the two
- A durable notice and certificate supplied for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Wentworth 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
A physical, termite-resistant membrane laid over the prepared ground ahead of the pour, covering the slab's entire footprint.
Penetration Collars
Each pipe, conduit and service crossing the slab is sealed with a collar - penetrations being the most common concealed entry.
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 into the soil, with optional reticulation pipework for recharging the barrier later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Piers, bearers and suspended timber floors protected, which matters on sloping and elevated blocks.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Sydney sites bring retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs and cut-and-fill, each of which needs specific detailing.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Wentworth Point
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
A compliant termite management system is required for new Class 1 homes and Class 10 outbuildings with termite-susceptible primary building elements.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Pipe penetrations and slab joints can only be fully protected before concrete covers them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
Areas no post-construction treatment can ever reach are covered by an under-slab system.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
Your certifier must have the installation certificate and durable notice before the Occupation Certificate can issue.
Resale Confidence
Having the termite protection documented and compliant reassures buyers, inspectors and lenders alike.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Wentworth 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 membrane, stainless mesh or graded stone particles form a layer termites cannot pass, under the slab or at the perimeter | Lasts as long as the slab unless disturbed, and never needs a chemical top-up | Slab-on-ground homes, and anyone wanting a non-chemical system |
| Penetration collars | Collars sealed physically around each pipe and conduit passing through the slab | Durable provided they are installed correctly before the pour | Every slab, and normally paired with a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | A zone of termiticide-treated soil under and around the structure | Service life follows the product label and soil conditions; re-application is possible | Budget-sensitive builds and certain complex sites |
| Reticulation system | Pipework laid before the paving so termiticide can be pumped back into the soil later | Rechargeable for the life of the building, with no need to lift paths | Houses ringed by paving or landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Ground stations used for monitoring and then baiting out the colony | Regular servicing of each station is required | For existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Wentworth Point
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
Send us your plans and slab details. We recommend a system and give you 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
While the brickwork or cladding goes up, the perimeter and cavity barriers are installed, leaving no gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
If specified, the chemical perimeter or reticulation system is finished around the completed building before paving and landscaping start.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is recorded on a durable notice fixed in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to the builder and the certifier.
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 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.
- Collars on the penetrations ahead of the pour
- The slab edge and cavity barrier installed as the walls rise
- Perimeter work completed ahead of paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Consistent pricing across the project, a single point of contact, and documentation for every lot or dwelling.
Avoiding certification delays
The common cause of occupation certificate delay is a missing durable notice or unclear records - so we supply everything together.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Wentworth Point
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
- Don't put garden beds or stacked timber up against the house
- Keep the weep holes clear of render and debris
- Deal with leaks from taps, downpipes and hot water units close to the house
- Before the slab gets drilled, speak to your builder or installer
- Check that new pipes or extensions are protected too
- 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 Wentworth Point
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab size and perimeter run | Larger slabs need more membrane and perimeter protection, and more labour |
| The system specified | Under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems and chemical or reticulation options carry different prices |
| Number of penetrations | Every plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab needs a collar |
| Site conditions | Detailing increases 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 |

Do we have to go out while you work?
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
How long will the technician be on site?
For a standard Wentworth Point home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
What if the termites come back?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. If activity continues past the expected period, call us and we will come back.
Do you cover the suburbs around Wentworth Point too?
All of them. Wentworth Point sits alongside Rhodes, Liberty Grove, Newington and Concord West in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
