Expert Pre-Construction Termite Barriers You Can Trust
A pre-construction termite barrier is the single most cost-effective way to protect a new Sydney home. Installed during the build — before the slab is poured or as the structure goes up — it creates a continuous, durable barrier that stops subterranean termites reaching the timber for decades.
Our licensed technicians install Australian Standard AS 3660.1-compliant barrier systems and provide the full certification builders, certifiers and councils require for occupancy — protecting your investment from day one.

- Targeted, safe and effective treatment

What We Treat
Our licensed technicians are trained across every variety you're likely to encounter in Sydney.
Under-Slab Chemical Barrier
A treated zone applied to the ground and fill before the concrete slab is poured, creating a complete chemical barrier beneath the entire footprint.
Reticulation Systems
A permanent under-slab pipe network that allows the chemical barrier to be replenished for the life of the building without disturbing the structure.
Physical Termite Barriers
Stainless-steel mesh and graded-particle systems built into footings, penetrations and perimeters — a non-chemical barrier termites cannot pass.
Penetration & Pipe Collars
Engineered collars sealing every pipe, conduit and service penetration through the slab, the most common concealed termite entry point.
Perimeter Chemical Barrier
A continuous treated zone around the completed structure that links with the under-slab system for full perimeter protection.
Cavity & Brickwork Barriers
Termite-resistant membranes installed in masonry cavities and weep holes to block concealed entry behind brickwork.
Know the Warning Signs
Spotting the problem early makes treatment faster, easier and far less costly.
Cheaper Before the Slab
Installing a barrier during construction costs a fraction of post-construction treatment or termite damage repairs later.
Mandatory for Compliance
AS 3660.1 termite management is required for new builds — certifiers and councils need documented, compliant protection before occupancy.
Hidden Entry Sealed Early
Pipe penetrations and slab edges are the main termite entry points; they can only be fully protected during the build.
Protects the Whole Footprint
An under-slab barrier covers the entire building — impossible to fully replicate once the slab is poured.
Decades of Protection
A correctly installed barrier protects the structure for years, with reticulation allowing easy long-term renewal.

Get a Free QuoteHow much does a pre-construction termite barrier cost?
Every build is different, so we provide a fixed written quote after reviewing your plans and slab design — there's no obligation.
Is a termite barrier required for a new build in Sydney?
Yes. New construction must include an AS 3660.1-compliant termite management system, and certifiers require documented proof before occupancy.
When during the build is it installed?
Chemical and reticulation systems are installed just before the slab pour; physical barriers are built into footings and penetrations as the structure goes up. We coordinate timing with your builder.
Physical or chemical barrier — which is better?
Both are compliant and effective; the right choice depends on your slab design, budget and preference. We'll recommend the best fit for your build.
How long does a pre-construction barrier last?
A correctly installed barrier protects for many years. Reticulation systems can be replenished indefinitely, and we recommend annual inspections to maintain cover.
Do you provide certification for the builder and council?
Yes — we supply the durable notice and compliance documentation your builder, certifier and council require to sign off the build.
Do you also handle existing homes?
Yes. For completed homes we install post-construction barriers and treatments — see our Termite Control service.
Is the treatment safe for the site and future occupants?
Yes. We use registered termiticides applied by licensed technicians strictly to standard, with full safety documentation provided.
