CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111RENTAL PROPERTIES · RESIDENT REPORTS · MANAGER-ARRANGED REPAIRS
Reported a fence problem at a Dobsonville rental property and unsure what happens next? Give the responsible manager a clear description of the affected section and warning. Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs and an electric fence COC enquiry with the party authorised to instruct the work.
For a shared fence, ask the managing agent or property manager to arrange access. Residents should not enter service rooms, open fence equipment or arrange alterations to common components themselves.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Dobsonville includes managed rental accommodation, such as JOSHCO’s development on Motseme Street. If your concern involves a common perimeter at a rental property, identify the building and location as well as your unit. The person arranging repairs needs to know where the problem was seen, not just which resident first reported it.
Report the location and keep clear of it. A photograph is useful only if it can be taken safely without approaching the wires. Ask the responsible manager to deal with access and the instruction rather than attempting to make the section safe yourself.
Bring the observations together with approximate times and locations already known. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the actual installation. Residents should not be asked to test sections, change controls or compare shocks to demonstrate the concern.
Give the manager the current symptom and ask what work was completed. Keep any outstanding access or repair requirement clear. A report can be followed up without assuming that an attendance necessarily covered every part of the shared fence.
The responsible manager should receive the findings and completed-work details. Residents need a practical update about the reported concern and how to raise any further warning, without being expected to interpret technical settings. If some work remains, identify it accurately instead of closing the enquiry with an unexplained statement that someone attended.
For a new electric fence installation or a substantial change, the property owner or responsible management body needs to establish the proposal and obtain applicable approval. The installation should be assessed for the actual property. Individual rental units should not each commission changes to a common perimeter without a coordinated instruction.
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
For Dobsonville rental premises, provide the property and unit reference, affected boundary and responsible manager. Ask the quotation to identify the investigation and repairs proposed. Responsibility for payment should be settled by the relevant parties; the technical description should still show which installation and work are included.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · DOBSONVILLE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Yes. Raise the enquiry with the responsible manager and explain which installation concerns you. Ask the manager to arrange the authorised inspection and access for a common perimeter.
The responsible property record holder should retain the relevant documents and completed-work details. Residents can direct questions to that contact rather than relying on unrelated papers for another unit or property.
Report the warning and location to the responsible manager and keep clear. Do not enter a service area or alter shared equipment to silence it.
The party responsible for the installation needs to authorise the work and access. A resident’s report is useful, but the shared-property instruction should be settled before alterations are agreed.
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.
