ELECTRIC FENCE COC · BEVERLEY GARDENS
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can a tenant arrange an electric fence compliance certificate?+
A tenant can help book and describe the installation. Include the owner or authorised property contact so access, approval and delivery of the findings are clear. The inspection must address the actual fence rather than rely on a tenant’s description alone.
Should the electric fence certificate of compliance stay with the property records?+
Keep it available to the responsible owner or manager, alongside records of subsequent fence work. The document helps identify what was inspected. Ask for clarification if later extensions, gate changes or repairs make its description difficult to relate to the installation.
Is your electric fence alarming after a change of tenant?+
Tell Wesslink what the new occupant has noticed and provide any earlier fault history. Electric fence fault finding can examine the actual installation. Include any display message that can be read safely, and leave settings and repairs to the appropriate professional.
Can the owner approve a quotation without being at the property?+
Discuss that arrangement when booking. The owner needs a clear description of the proposed work, while someone at the property must provide the agreed access. Additional findings should be explained before work outside the accepted quotation proceeds.
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.
