CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111CLAUDIUS · UNUSED FENCES · RETURNING A PROPERTY TO USE
Taking over a Claudius property with a fence that has been switched off or unused? Book an assessment before relying on it. Wesslink can inspect the installation, explain any electric fence repairs and discuss an electric fence COC once the relevant requirements have been met.
Do not reconnect unfamiliar fence equipment or energise an abandoned installation yourself. Explain its condition when arranging the inspection.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For the Claudius locality in Centurion, give the full property address and describe what you are taking over. If a fence has stood unused, the important starting information is its known history: when it last operated, why it was disconnected and whether walls, gates or neighbouring boundaries have since changed.
Ask whether the fence was unused by choice or because someone reported a fault. Keep any explanation with the earlier certificate and repair invoices. Wesslink can inspect the equipment and boundary before recommending how the installation should be returned to service.
Describe missing sections and any gates or walls rebuilt since it last worked. A quotation should consider the incomplete installation, rather than just replacing the visible missing wire. State whether you want to retain the old layout or propose a different boundary arrangement.
Tell Wesslink when people will move in and whether builders are still working outside. An initial assessment may need to precede the final fence work. Agree access to all relevant sections so an apparently neat street frontage does not conceal an unfinished rear boundary.
Age or appearance alone does not establish whether an installation should be repaired or replaced. Provide the energiser details if they can be read without opening equipment, and describe the visible fence from a safe position. Wesslink can inspect and test the actual system before quoting for corrections or replacement components.
If a substantially different electric fence installation is proposed, explain the new layout and intended entrances. Obtain any relevant owner, neighbour-access or managing-body approvals before work proceeds. Keep the inspection findings, approved quotation and eventual certificate together so the next person responsible for the property can understand what was completed.
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
An unused system may need an assessment before a repair price can be settled. Ask what the inspection covers and how further work will be quoted. Mention inaccessible sections, missing components and unfinished building work upfront; these affect the job more directly than simply saying the fence is old.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CLAUDIUS
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Leave unfamiliar equipment for professional assessment and describe the alert to Wesslink. Electric fence fault finding can establish what needs attention. Do not keep resetting or reconnecting the system to see whether the problem disappears.
It is useful history, but it does not replace inspection of the current installation. Tell Wesslink about the period out of use and any changes or damage since the certificate was issued.
No such conclusion can be made from vacancy alone. The installation should be assessed so the recommendation distinguishes components that can remain from work actually needed.
Yes, explain that it is a purchase enquiry and arrange the seller’s permission for access. Provide the existing documents and describe your intended use so any proposal can be assessed against the property you are buying.
That depends on the condition and outcome of inspection and testing. An electric fence certificate of compliance cannot be promised before any defects and unfinished work have been assessed and resolved.
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.
