CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111SALE PREPARATION · CONCEALED SECTIONS · COMPLETE INSPECTION ACCESS
A tidy front boundary can hide an inaccessible section at the back of a property. When arranging an electric fence COC in Craighall, tell Wesslink about the complete fence route, including sections screened by planting or reached through a separate area. We can plan the assessment and explain any access or corrective work required.
Do not clear growth touching wires or climb a wall to help an inspection. Describe the restriction so safe access can be arranged.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Craighall shares residents-association coverage with Craighall Park and parts of Dunkeld West, but an inspection still needs your own street and property details. If a sale is approaching, check that the responsible contact can provide access beyond the front entrance. A rear passage, neighbouring side or locked service area may need its own arrangement.
Tell the agent where the remaining installation runs and who can open each relevant area. Include any section that cannot be seen from the garden. This gives the booking contact a practical picture of the inspection instead of letting the street-facing appearance stand in for the complete installation.
Explain what is visible safely and what cannot be reached. Vegetation work may need coordination with the fence contractor, but do not assume all planting must be removed or that a gardener can work against energised wires. Agree the necessary preparation before attendance and retain any access limitation in the inspection findings.
Provide plans or earlier repair records if available and tell the inspector what is unknown. Avoid digging or opening equipment to locate a route yourself. Electric fence fault finding can consider the actual installation and relevant history, without treating an uncertain cable location as proof that the cable is damaged.
Ask for the existing electric fence compliance certificate early in the sale process and note any later alterations. Where access has been restricted for some time, an initial assessment may identify work that cannot be completed in the same visit. Arrange inspection with enough time for findings to be explained, corrections approved and any necessary further attendance coordinated.
Electric fence repairs should follow the identified condition of the accessible installation. If a planned garden or boundary project changes the fence, discuss the electric fence installation before that project starts. For shared sections or access through separately controlled property, obtain the relevant agreement. A transfer deadline is a reason to organise the work promptly, not to omit an unresolved section.
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 the known access restrictions when requesting a price. Ask what the initial inspection covers and whether separately arranged clearing, building work or return attendance may be needed. A clear quote should distinguish confirmed corrective work from items that cannot be assessed until access is available.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CRAIGHALL
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
The assessment must relate to the installation being certified. Explain the full route and any inaccessible section so the inspector can identify what access and checks are needed.
Report the symptom and where the hedge is, but do not reach into it or cut growth against the wires. The cause and safe preparation need to be assessed before work is prescribed.
No blanket clearing instruction is appropriate. Describe access and visible growth first so necessary preparation can be agreed safely and unnecessary garden work avoided.
Arrange permission and a suitable contact before the visit. Tell the inspector if that access remains unavailable so the limitation and next steps can be explained clearly.
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.
