CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111GARDEN BOUNDARIES · VEGETATION WORK · FENCE CONDITION
Planning garden work beside an electric fence in Bordeaux, or hearing alarms after clearing has taken place? Wesslink can assess the installation, carry out electric fence fault finding and quote for repairs. If an electric fence COC is required, mention it when booking so the inspection considers the relevant installation and any changes made.
Do not cut, pull or lift vegetation against electric wires yourself. Describe the growth and access problem so safe arrangements can be discussed before anyone works near the fence.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Bordeaux South Residents Association records include community spruit clean-up activity. For a private property near a garden or open-space edge, distinguish the vegetation work you control from work on a neighbour’s or public land. Where an electric fence is present, arrange its assessment with the owner responsible for it rather than treating a community clean-up as permission to alter the installation.
Tell Wesslink where vegetation obscures the fence and whether the area can be approached safely. The necessary clearing and fence work should be coordinated. A gardener should not be asked to work through live wires, remove brackets or pull branches out of an energised fence to make inspection easier.
Describe the affected section and when the event occurred. Keep any photographs already taken from a safe position, but leave fallen material and damaged wires alone. The inspection needs to establish the condition of the fence beyond the obvious contact point before the required repair is agreed.
For changed planting beds, paths or a new wall, include the proposed fence route in the discussion. An electric fence installation should account for the finished layout and maintenance access. Obtain applicable owner or property approvals before alterations, especially where the work reaches a shared boundary or neighbouring land.
A quotation for electric fence repairs should identify the damaged or defective parts and the access needed to reach them. Vegetation removal, disposal and wall work may be separate tasks. Confirm who will do each part and in what order, so the fence is not reinstalled before the boundary work that could disturb it has finished.
Use the actual street address when arranging a Bordeaux enquiry, and identify any association or manager involved rather than assuming the whole area shares one perimeter. Keep earlier fence documents with records of the clearing or structural work. This helps the inspector understand what changed while leaving the diagnosis to an assessment of the installation.
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
The useful starting point is a description of the affected boundary, the growth or damage and the work planned nearby. Send safe photographs and explain any access from adjacent land that must be arranged. Wesslink can then discuss inspection and fence repairs, with separate clearing or structural costs made clear in the quotation.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · BORDEAUX
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Explain what work remains and whether it could affect the fence. Wesslink can discuss inspection timing and any follow-up needed after the installation is disturbed. A certificate should relate to the installation assessed, so planned changes should be disclosed.
No. It concerns the electric fence installation. Permission for clearing, landscaping, structures or access on land outside your control is separate. Establish the relevant ownership and approval arrangements before that work proceeds.
Tell Wesslink which section was worked on and when the alarms started. Electric fence fault finding can examine the actual route and equipment. Do not assume the trimming caused the fault or ask the gardener to disconnect wires to test the possibility.
Describe the intended position and the reason for moving it. The installation, nearby openings and boundary structures need assessment, with applicable property approvals arranged first. Ask for the proposed alteration and any existing defects to be treated as separate quotation items.
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.
