ELECTRIC FENCE COC · AMBERFIELD HEIGHTS
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming after the garden was trimmed?+
Tell Wesslink when the alert started and what work took place. Leave wires and fence equipment alone. If the installation is shared, report it through the manager or security contact so authorised attendance can be arranged.
Can the gardener clear the problem before inspection?+
Do not ask anyone to handle wires or work through an energised fence. Explain the access problem and proposed gardening to Wesslink so the responsible contractors can agree how the work should be coordinated.
Does the estate certificate cover a fence added by a previous owner?+
That needs checking against the actual installation and documents. Ask the manager about the addition and provide any approval or invoice. An electric fence compliance certificate for one system should not be assumed to cover another.
Should I remove a new screen if the alarm started afterwards?+
Explain the installation and the timing to Wesslink first. Avoid dismantling items close to fence wires yourself. The inspection can establish what needs attention and whether the appropriate contractor should alter the screen or fence.
Can certification follow the garden project?+
Yes, an inspection can be planned around completed work. An electric fence certificate of compliance is dependent on the installation meeting the applicable requirements; any necessary fence corrections must be addressed before it can be issued.
Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
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.
Will the inspection fee include repairs?+
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.
