BUSINESS RELOCATION · RETAINED EQUIPMENT · LEASE HANDOVER

Need an Electric Fence COC in Eastgate?

Moving your business out of Eastgate premises or taking over a new lease? Establish what fence equipment stays and what needs assessment before keys are handed over. Wesslink can inspect the installation, explain repairs and help with an electric fence COC when it meets the requirements. Involve the landlord where the perimeter is shared or retained.

Agree equipment ownership and removal instructions with the responsible parties. Do not disconnect a building’s fence simply because another security contract is ending.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Settle the fence handover before the business move.

Eastgate in Sandton includes business addresses on Spartan Crescent and Pongola Crescent, with named office parks and extensions. When a business relocates, identify the physical premises as well as the company name. Fence documents should remain matched to the installation at that address, even if the tenant, trading name or contact details change.

01

The outgoing tenant installed equipment

Make a list of items the tenant proposes to remove and give it to the landlord or property manager. If an energiser, alarm connection or other fence component is involved, arrange appropriate assessment before removal. A commercial agreement about ownership should lead to a clear work instruction, not an informal disconnection by the moving team.

02

The landlord will retain the fence

Gather the existing certificate, repair records and details of tenant alterations. Ask the assessment to identify the condition being handed back and any unresolved defects. Electric fence repairs should be described separately from requested improvements so both parties understand the work proposed without treating an upgrade as proof of tenant-caused damage.

03

A new tenant needs the equipment ready

Explain the proposed entrance and outside use before occupation. If the incoming tenant requests electric fence installation changes, obtain the relevant owner or park-management approval. Keep that new project distinguishable from the outgoing tenant’s handover so the record does not confuse work required now with changes wanted for a future layout.

Record the physical condition without deciding the lease dispute.

For an electric fence compliance certificate assessment, provide the document for the actual premises and identify changes since it was issued. If records are held under an old company name, include the property address and known equipment details. Missing paperwork or a business-name change does not by itself establish a defect; the current installation needs the appropriate inspection and checks.

Agree who receives the findings and authorises corrective work before the visit. The fence assessment can describe condition and completed repairs, but allocation of lease costs belongs with the parties and their agreement. Keep removal, reinstatement and final inspection records together so neither the landlord nor incoming tenant is left guessing what the previous contractor disconnected or replaced.

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 ↗

    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.

Ask for a quote that distinguishes condition assessment, identified defects, agreed removals and requested new work. Provide the proposed handover date and any access restrictions while the move is underway. Do not compare a limited reinstatement price with a full replacement quote until the installations and finished requirements are clearly matched.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

When should we arrange the electric fence certificate of compliance assessment during a move?

Raise it before equipment removal and final handover. Explain the move timetable and planned changes so initial assessment and any necessary follow-up can be coordinated around the actual work.

Is your electric fence alarming after a tenant removed equipment?

Keep the removal record and describe the current message. Electric fence fault finding should assess the resulting arrangement; do not reconnect unfamiliar cables or assume the last contractor caused every symptom.

Can the inspection decide who must pay under the lease?

It can record the condition and proposed corrective work. Payment responsibility depends on the relevant agreement and should be resolved by the parties, separately from the technical findings.

Should a new company name be put on old fence records?

Keep original records intact and provide the current contact and physical property details. Ask what current documentation is appropriate rather than editing an earlier certificate or assuming the company-name change proves a new installation.

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.
