GATE CHANGES · MOVING CONNECTIONS · COMPLETE REPAIR RECORDS

Need an Electric Fence COC in Craigavon?

A new or repaired gate can affect the fence arrangements around an entrance. If you need an electric fence COC in Craigavon, tell Wesslink about recent gate work and any symptoms that occur during normal use. We can assess the installation and explain the relevant inspection, repair or alteration work.

Keep the gate and fence work descriptions together. A gate opening normally does not establish that the electric fence has been checked.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Include the entrance in the fence assessment.

Craigavon and its extensions are separately identified in Johannesburg’s Fourways-area records. Give the complex or property name and entrance address when arranging attendance here. If your enquiry follows a sliding gate, pedestrian gate or entrance-wall change, identify the exact work done so the fence inspection considers the resulting arrangement rather than an earlier layout.

01

The gate has been replaced

Provide the installer’s description and explain whether fence wires, supports or cables were moved. A replacement gate may retain some equipment and replace other parts. The fence contractor needs to understand those changes without assuming that the gate installer assessed everything connected to the perimeter or that an old certificate describes the finished work.

02

A symptom appears during movement

Record whether the symptom was noticed when the gate opened, closed or remained stationary in ordinary use. Do not repeatedly operate equipment to provoke a fault. Electric fence fault finding should assess the relevant arrangement and distinguish the observation from its cause; the timing alone does not identify which component needs replacement.

03

A separate pedestrian entrance is planned

Describe where people will stand, how the gate will be used and what boundary work is included. Arrange the electric fence installation work alongside the gate project so interfaces can be considered before the finish is applied. In a complex, get management approval for the design and any work on shared equipment before commissioning it.

Ask who is completing each part of the entrance.

Agree whether the gate contractor, builder or fence contractor is responsible for each proposed item. This is particularly useful where work involves both a supporting wall and electrical equipment. Electric fence repairs should identify what was corrected and how any affected connections were assessed, rather than ending with a general statement that the entrance is working.

When requesting an electric fence compliance certificate, provide previous records and the dates of entrance changes. Arrange access to the relevant equipment and remaining fence route, not only the gate being discussed. If a shared perimeter passes the entrance, the responsible manager should approve work and coordinate any operational arrangements. Keep the completion documents with the gate records for future maintenance or transfer.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

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 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS

Get a quote for the fence you actually have.

A quote should make clear whether it covers fence assessment, identified corrections, changes required by a new gate or separate gate automation work. Send the planned layout and earlier repair description where available. Ask about any work by other trades before comparing the total with a quotation that assumes a different finished entrance.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CRAIGAVON

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Can gate work affect an electric fence certificate of compliance enquiry?

Tell the inspector what changed and provide the earlier document. The resulting installation needs assessment; a gate repair invoice does not establish the condition of fence components that were moved or retained.

Is your electric fence alarming when the gate closes?

Report the observed timing and message without repeating the movement to test it. Keep people clear of damaged equipment and arrange assessment of the relevant gate and fence interface.

Does the gate installer need to attend?

Provide their work description first. Coordination may be useful where responsibility or an interface is unclear, but an appointment with another contractor must be arranged rather than assumed.

Can you quote before the new pedestrian gate is installed?

Yes, provide the planned location and layout. Site assessment and coordination can establish the fence-related requirements, with applicable owner or management approval obtained before alterations begin.

Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?

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.

Will the inspection fee include repairs?

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.
