CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111FAMILY HOMES · SCHOOLS AND CHILDCARE · SAFE BOUNDARY WORK
Concerned about a damaged electric fence where children or visitors use your Fontainebleau property? Keep them away from the affected area and contact Wesslink with the location and symptoms. We can assess electric fence repairs, planned installations and an electric fence COC requirement without asking anyone to touch or test the wires.
An electric fence should never become a children’s investigation. An adult should arrange the professional assessment and keep the affected boundary out of use while advice is obtained.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Fontainebleau has local schools, including Laerskool Fontainebleau at Charlie and Rabie Streets. For a family home, school or childcare property with an electric fence, explain how the garden and entrances are used. Mention play areas, regular visitor routes and any planned outdoor changes so the work can be considered alongside daily use of the premises.
Keep people and animals away and describe the location from a safe distance. Do not ask staff, children or visitors to move the wire aside. If the damage is near a route that people normally use, tell the property’s responsible person so access can be managed while assistance is arranged.
Before putting a new structure, container or play item near the boundary, discuss the intended position with the responsible property manager and fence installer. An electric fence installation should be considered alongside how the space will be used, rather than treated as a detail after everything else has been placed.
Choose a responsible contact to communicate the reported fault and repair arrangements. Staff or family members should know which area is affected and who is arranging help. They do not need instructions to open equipment, isolate sections or perform electrical tests themselves.
Wesslink can assess the installation and explain the work required. Tell us about any recent change to the boundary or the way the outdoor area is used, including a new gate or moved equipment. If the fence belongs to a landlord or shared property, obtain the necessary authority before changes are made. A staff member’s report is valuable even when they cannot approve the repair.
Following work, keep the repair description and available fence documents with the person responsible for the premises. Explain any outstanding items plainly to other adults using the property. Do not describe an inaccessible section as checked, or use a quiet alarm as reassurance about a visibly damaged fence. Ask the inspector what the findings mean for the affected area.
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 Fontainebleau enquiry should identify the damaged section, the equipment involved where known and how access can be arranged safely. Mention whether the request is for fault finding, planned changes or certification. The quotation should reflect the installation and necessary work, without assuming that a school and a private garden need identical equipment.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · FONTAINEBLEAU
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
The authorised property contact can discuss an inspection with Wesslink. Identify the relevant installation and any access or operating restrictions. Certification depends on the inspection and required remedial work, not the type of organisation occupying the property.
Provide the certificate and explain what changed near the fence. Ask for the effect on the installation to be assessed. The earlier document should not be assumed to describe a subsequently altered boundary arrangement.
Keep people clear and tell Wesslink what has been observed. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the system. Do not send someone to walk along the wires or recreate the activity to see whether the alarm sounds again.
State the times when the relevant area is unused and discuss suitable arrangements when booking. Availability and the practical work requirements need to be agreed; do not assume a particular appointment or a fixed duration before the installation is assessed.
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.
