CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111CLAYVILLE · HOME PURCHASES · THE CORRECT FENCE DOCUMENTS
Buying a Clayville home with an electric fence, or planning to add one after moving in? Ask which installation is included and what records are available. Wesslink can discuss the existing fence, an electric fence installation quotation and the inspection required for an electric fence COC.
Tell the seller or agent exactly which certificate you need. A document for the home’s electrical installation should not be assumed to identify and certify the electric-fence system.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Clayville includes the Valumax housing development in Ekurhuleni, alongside other separately identified properties and extensions. Give the exact address and any development or complex name. A purchaser should establish whether the fence serves the individual property, a shared boundary or another premises, so the request for records reaches the responsible owner or manager.
Ask the seller or agent to identify the installation and provide its available records. Explain any uncertainty about shared fencing to the relevant manager. An advertised feature helps describe the property, but the actual equipment, condition and document coverage still need to be established.
Ask specifically about the electric-fence records instead of assuming the document covers every electrical item at the address. Provide the available paperwork to Wesslink when discussing an inspection. The property and installation identified on the records should match what is being assessed.
Request an assessment and complete quotation before buying equipment. Show the intended route, entrances and supporting barrier. Obtain the applicable owner or development approvals, and ask how the completed installation, operating guidance and certification will be included in the work.
If the seller knows of a warning or recent alteration, ask for that information and relevant repair records. Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs from an assessment of the actual condition. Keep the reported defect separate from assumptions about the cause, so a quotation explains the corrective work rather than simply replacing equipment without a reason.
For a new installation, agree the work and completion arrangements in writing. Ask what supporting work must be finished first and which parts of an existing boundary can be retained after assessment. Once the required inspection and tests have passed, retain the certificate and equipment information with the property records, along with details of later repairs or changes.
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
Explain whether the request concerns a sale document, an existing fault or a first installation. Provide the address, property type and available records. Ask what the inspection includes and how identified corrections are quoted. A certificate request should allow for the possibility that work is needed before the installation can pass.

No fixed price is assumed before the installation and access requirements are understood.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CLAYVILLE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Tell the seller or responsible manager and record the message. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the installation before the problem is treated as resolved or included in a final handover.
Identify the fence and provide the existing records if available. Ask Wesslink about the required inspection and tests, including access and any corrective work needed before issue.
Agree access and authority with the current owner or manager. Provide the specific concern and available documents so the visit can assess the relevant installation.
Ask the responsible manager for the relevant installation information and records. Do not instruct alterations to shared fencing as though it belongs only to the home being purchased.
Retain the equipment details, repair records and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Keep the property and installation description clear for future maintenance or sale enquiries.
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.
