Planning paving, drainage or trench work near your Allens Nek electric fence? Tell Wesslink before the ground is opened or covered. We can discuss the relevant installation, assess electric fence repairs after disturbed work and explain the inspection needed for an electric fence COC.
Do not dig to locate a fence cable or handle an exposed cable to identify it. Stop work around suspect electrical material and arrange professional assessment.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For an Allens Nek home or shared property changing its driveway or garden layout, the fence enquiry should include the ground work as well as the visible wires. Explain where digging or new paving is proposed and what equipment is nearby. Let the relevant professionals establish the arrangements rather than assuming a cable route from the wall line.
Show the planned work area and mention any fence equipment or gate connections known to be nearby. Ask the contractors to coordinate before excavation begins. Do not mark an assumed cable route as confirmed simply because it would be the shortest path.
Keep people away and tell the responsible contractor and Wesslink what happened. Do not join, tape or bury the cable yourself. The installation needs assessment and the appropriate repair before work conceals the affected area.
Explain the work completed and when any fence symptoms began. Provide existing photographs from the job if available. Electric fence fault finding can assess the concern without asking the owner to lift paving or excavate to prove a suspected cause.
Ask which parts of the fence-related work need assessment before paving, concrete or landscaping closes the area. The contractor responsible for the surface should know the agreed sequence. Keep the repair and making-good responsibilities clear so neither party assumes the other has completed an essential step.
Where a new electric fence installation or changed entrance needs associated cable work, provide the finished layout and obtain applicable shared-property approval. Keep the completed-work description and available route information with the fence documents. Future contractors can then be told about known work without relying on guesses about concealed connections.
INSPECTION & TESTING
A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.
An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
An Allens Nek quotation should separate fence assessment and electrical repairs from excavation, paving and making good. Explain what is open, what is concealed and what has already been done. Ask what needs confirming before the repair is priced, especially where a photograph shows only part of the disturbed area.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ALLENS NEK
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Yes. Explain the project early so the relevant assessment can be coordinated with other work. Ask what needs to remain accessible and what follow-up is required before certification.
Retain useful completed-work records and available route details with the certificate. Make clear what has been professionally confirmed rather than drawing a guessed route that could mislead a future contractor.
Report the timing and the area where work occurred. Leave exposed or suspect material untouched and arrange assessment. Do not dig further or connect loose cables to test whether they belong to the fence.
Agree the appropriate electrical work with a suitably qualified professional. The paving contractor can coordinate access and surfaces, but should not be expected to identify or repair electrical fence connections without the relevant competence.
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
