If your Chislehurston property is changing how it is used, review the fence alongside the new entrance arrangements. Wesslink can inspect an existing system for an electric fence COC, investigate concerns and explain corrective work. Describe what will change for residents, staff or visitors before assuming the old layout remains suitable.
A change in use is a reason to explain the new arrangement, not proof of a fence defect. Assessment must consider the actual installation.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Chislehurston lies beside Sandton’s commercial centre. If a property will receive clients, staff or more frequent deliveries, explain how people will enter, wait and move around the boundary. A fence installed for an earlier arrangement should be considered against the proposed use, especially where a pedestrian entrance, waiting area or accessible route is being changed.
Show the intended pedestrian route and any new intercom or gate position. Tell the installer whether people will stand beside the boundary while waiting for access. Electric fence installation planning should consider the finished entrance, rather than leaving fence changes until after the path, signage and gate have been completed.
If more people will use the property, explain which areas remain private and which become accessible to visitors. Identify who will report fence concerns during working hours and after closing. A clear contact arrangement helps prevent an employee or visitor from trying to solve an unfamiliar alarm by touching controls or reaching toward the wires.
At handover, identify the fence equipment that remains with the building and collect its maintenance records. If the previous occupier installed an alarm connection or additional fence section, clarify whether it is staying. Do not leave an unexplained connection for the new tenant to discover after occupation or assume every security device belongs to the landlord.
Provide the existing electric fence compliance certificate and describe later alterations or proposed changes. Include relevant gates, walls, walkways and connections, even if another contractor is doing that work. The inspection can then assess the current installation and explain the implications of the planned arrangement. Property-use or building approvals, where needed, should be handled separately with the appropriate parties.
Where a landlord or managing agent controls the boundary, obtain approval for electric fence repairs and agree how the work fits around occupation. If only part of a site is available, explain that before booking. Arrange access to the relevant equipment and keep visitors out of the work area. The completion record should distinguish what was corrected from work that remains planned.
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
Send a short description of the existing use and proposed entrance changes when requesting a quote. Ask for the inspection, identified repairs and requested alterations to be described separately. This makes it easier to coordinate the fence contractor with the gate installer or builder and understand which price relates to the finished arrangement.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CHISLEHURSTON
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
No. It concerns the electrical fence installation assessed. Any property-use, building or landlord permissions must be dealt with through the relevant processes alongside the fence work.
Record the timing and what happened during normal use. Electric fence fault finding should assess the relevant equipment and connections; do not ask visitors to repeat the event or touch the fence to test it.
Discuss the planned finished layout before either part is completed. Coordinating the work early helps identify interfaces and access needs without assuming the fence can simply be moved afterwards.
Ask for the relevant fence records, a maintenance contact and an explanation of normal user controls where applicable. Identify unresolved work and obtain the owner’s agreement before commissioning changes to retained equipment.
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.
