CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111INTERMITTENT ALARMS · OCCUPIED HOMES · GATE AND FENCE CONCERNS
Does your Douglasdale fence alarm come and go, leaving you unsure what to repair? Wesslink can carry out electric fence fault finding and explain the findings before work is agreed. We can also assess an electric fence COC enquiry when certification is needed alongside a repair or property handover.
Report what you have already noticed. Do not recreate a fault by touching wires, operating damaged equipment or deliberately interrupting the fence supply.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For a Douglasdale home, rental property or managed complex, an intermittent alarm can be difficult to describe when different people hear it at different times. Keep the enquiry about the actual fence and its symptoms. A household member’s first-hand observations and the existing equipment details can help Wesslink decide what needs assessment.
Give the dates, approximate times and displayed messages you have already recorded safely. Say whether it has happened once or repeatedly and mention previous repairs. The system may need investigation even when the sound has stopped; a quiet moment does not explain the earlier problem.
Describe the sequence without trying it repeatedly to reproduce the alarm. If gate work has recently been done, provide that information too. Ask for the fence concern to be assessed while keeping gate-motor work and any separate access-control issue clearly identified.
Combine the reports without turning them into a guessed diagnosis. One person may have heard a siren while another noticed a display message. For a shared fence, ask the managing agent to arrange access and a single authorised repair instruction.
After inspection, ask which defects were found and what electric fence repairs are recommended. Explain whether the same issue has returned after earlier work. Provide the actual work descriptions where available, because “the fence was fixed” may refer to one small section. An investigation can assess the present system without assuming the previous repair was wrong or that every component needs replacing.
If a replacement or extended electric fence installation is proposed, discuss why it is needed and what it includes. A change to a shared perimeter requires the applicable property approval. Where a monitoring company is involved, tell Wesslink who handles that service; fence work and a monitoring arrangement are separate matters, and any necessary coordination should be agreed for the property.
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
A Douglasdale fault enquiry is easier to assess with the symptom history and available equipment information. Ask what the initial investigation covers and how any further work will be quoted. Intermittent faults may require a different assessment from an obvious damaged section, so avoid choosing a repair package solely from a general description of the alarm.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · DOUGLASDALE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Contact Wesslink with the pattern you have noticed, including whether the symptom has returned after a repair. Keep people away from damaged parts. Do not disconnect sections or alter settings yourself to try to make the alarm stop.
A certificate is not a repair. Explain the fault when arranging the inspection so the installation can be assessed and any required work discussed. Ask what findings remain outstanding before expecting certification.
Yes, retain the earlier document with the new work record. If the installation changed, provide that history during the next inspection. The records help explain what was there and what was subsequently repaired or altered.
A photograph already taken from a safe position can be useful, as can the exact wording of a message. Do not open covers, climb up to equipment or approach exposed wiring for a picture. Send what is safely available and describe the rest.
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.
