CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111LARGER PROPERTIES · SEPARATE FENCE SYSTEMS
An Electric Fence COC enquiry in Chartwell can involve more than the wires visible from the driveway. Tell Wesslink which fence needs assessment, what it is used for and how far it extends. A clear description helps distinguish a property's security perimeter from internal paddock fences, neighbouring installations and community infrastructure.
List different fence systems separately. Do not assume that all electrified wires on a holding form one installation.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Chartwell Country Estates and Conservancy describes a rural residential area with large properties, riding schools and stabling. It also distinguishes each property's own security from community initiatives. Those local features make a simple sketch and a clear statement of purpose particularly useful when arranging an inspection.
Identify the outer boundary and any internal divisions without trying to trace live conductors. Tell us which lines are described as security fencing and which are used for animals. The inspector can establish the appropriate assessment scope; one certificate should not be assumed to cover unrelated systems merely because they share an address.
If different occupiers control parts of the holding, arrange access with each relevant person. A tenant who can open the main gate may not have the key to another enclosure. Include entrances that have been added or closed since the previous inspection, particularly where the fence route changed with them.
Point out any disputed or unclear stretch on the sketch and identify the responsible contact where known. The conservancy's community work does not automatically make it the owner of a private fence. Agree who may authorise investigation before arranging repairs that affect a neighbour or shared infrastructure.
Is your electric fence alarming on one of several fenced enclosures? On a larger site, descriptions such as 'rear fence' or 'farm fence' can mean different things to different people. Use fixed landmarks within the property, an energiser label or an existing plan to explain the line being assessed. Do not enter inaccessible ground or approach electrified wires to obtain measurements for a quotation.
If you recently acquired the property, collect what is available from the seller and label missing information honestly. A service invoice for an animal enclosure, a monitoring agreement and an electric security fence certificate are different records. Keep each with its own system description so later repairs and future transfer enquiries do not inherit the same uncertainty.
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
For electric fence installation or electric fence repairs in Chartwell, give the approximate accessible perimeter length, fence purpose and number of separate systems. Gates and separately occupied areas matter too. Mention difficult access or an incomplete site history. The quotation should reflect the agreed inspection, with repairs or other specialist work identified once their need is established.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CHARTWELL
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Explain both systems when enquiring. The work and applicable assessment need to be agreed for each; do not assume that the same certification scope applies to every type of electrified barrier.
The association describes community security initiatives while each property remains responsible for its own security. Start with your property records and original contractor; ask the association only where a particular shared installation is involved.
No. An approximate description or existing plan can help. Do not approach live wires or enter unsafe ground to measure the fence. The inspection scope can be clarified professionally.
Use a marked plan, gate name or other fixed location in the booking. Ask one authorised person to reconcile those descriptions so no section is omitted or assessed twice.
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.
