Before a vacant Dunkeld West property is occupied again, establish the condition of any electric fence left in place. Wesslink can inspect the installation for an electric fence COC and explain repairs or further investigation. Tell us how long the property has been unattended and what equipment previous occupants removed or changed.
Do not assume that restoring power or clearing an alarm makes an unattended fence ready for occupation. Have unresolved conditions assessed.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Dunkeld West is a separate address from Dunkeld, and parts fall within the Craigpark residents-association area. Give the exact street address when an agent or family member books the visit. For a home that has stood empty, the useful starting point is a record of retained equipment, available access and anything that changed when the previous occupier left.
List what is known to have been removed, such as a separate alarm communicator or user control. Keep any handover notes and identify who performed the work. Do not assume a remaining cable is unused or reconnect it to make the fence appear complete. The current arrangement needs assessment before a repair is proposed.
Report visible damage or growth from a safe position and arrange access to the whole fence route. Avoid asking a caretaker to pull wires clear or open equipment that has not been checked. An initial condition assessment can identify the work needed before the property is handed to new occupants.
Identify the person who will receive the findings and approve electric fence repairs. Keep completed work separate from future improvements, and explain any unresolved limitations. A handover is more useful when it describes the installation and its maintenance contact instead of passing on old remotes or keys without knowing what they operate.
Provide the earlier electric fence compliance certificate if available, along with the dates of known changes. If nobody can confirm when the fence last received attention, say so. An old document can help identify the installation, but the assessment still needs to consider what is present now and any subsequent damage, removals or alterations.
If a new electric fence installation or extensive alteration is being considered before occupation, arrange the site assessment alongside other reinstatement work. Explain planned gate, wall or electrical changes and obtain applicable owner or management approval. Electric fence fault finding may be needed where the condition or connection history is uncertain; avoid authorising replacement parts based only on an unanswered alarm.
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
Describe the vacancy and available records when requesting an assessment. Ask what the first visit covers and how any further repairs will be quoted. Confirm whether safe access, building work or other reinstatement tasks need separate arrangements so the fence contractor is not expected to complete unrelated work without agreement.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · DUNKELD WEST
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Provide the document and explain known changes or damage. Its relevance needs to be considered against the current installation; vacancy alone neither proves a fault nor establishes that the equipment remains unchanged.
Record the message and circumstances without repeatedly resetting or reconnecting equipment. Arrange assessment of the current system and mention any removed controls or recent supply changes.
Do not reconnect unfamiliar equipment or exposed cables. Gather the available information and let the responsible contractor assess the arrangement and explain the work required.
Arrange it early enough to address findings and coordinate access. Give the new tenant the relevant completed records and maintenance contact once the work and handover are finalised.
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.
