CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111WEATHER-LINKED SYMPTOMS · USEFUL INSPECTION RECORDS
Is your electric fence alarming during rain? A clear account of what happened is more useful than a guessed diagnosis. For an Electric Fence COC in Bloubosrand, tell Wesslink about recurring symptoms as well as the reason you need the inspection. A quiet fence on the day of the visit should not erase a problem that keeps returning.
Do not touch wet equipment, move fence wires or recreate a fault to collect evidence. Record only what you can observe safely.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
The City has reported repairs to a flood-damaged sewer line in Bloubosrand as part of its river-system work. That public infrastructure report does not establish conditions at your home. If water, wind or garden work coincides with a fence problem at your property, describe the actual observations so the inspection starts with relevant evidence.
Write down when the rain began, when the alarm was first noticed and whether the symptom continued after the weather cleared. Mark approximate times as estimates. Describe any visible change from a safe location, but leave the conclusion about its cause to the inspection.
Keep the booking and share the history. Include an existing alarm notification or a photograph of the normal display if it can be captured without approaching exposed equipment. Do not open an energiser enclosure or change settings to produce the same symptom again.
Say whether the gate, house supply, security alarm or fence display changed at the same time. Keep each observation separate. A gate that will not open and a fence alarm may require different investigations; their timing alone does not prove a shared fault.
A short dated record can show whether the problem followed a particular event or has happened repeatedly. Include recent vegetation clearing, wall repairs or work near the boundary, without assigning blame. If another contractor has already attended, provide their actual findings and work description. Distinguish a completed repair from a suggestion that has not yet been tested.
Ask for a clear account of what the visit establishes and what remains uncertain. A single normal observation may not explain an intermittent complaint. Where further investigation, safe access or another trade's work is needed, record that next step rather than treating a temporary improvement as a confirmed cure. The certificate decision must follow the assessment of the electric fence installation; it is not a promise that every future weather-related alarm has been eliminated.
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

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · BLOUBOSRAND
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Tell us that it has stopped and keep the history available. A recurring problem can still merit inspection. The absence of an alarm at one moment does not explain what caused earlier events.
No. Do not recreate the condition or approach wet electrical equipment. Existing notifications and a factual timeline are safer ways to explain what you observed.
No. Timing alone does not identify a failed component. Provide the symptom record and allow the installation to be assessed before committing to replacement equipment.
Keep the dated repair description, inspection findings and any later observations together. If the same symptom returns, this record helps the next investigation distinguish previous work from a new change.
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.
