GERHARDSVILLE · LONGER BOUNDARIES · SECURITY AND ANIMAL FENCES

Need an Electric Fence COC in Gerhardsville?

Does your Gerhardsville enquiry involve the security fence around the property, an animal enclosure or both? Tell Wesslink which system needs attention before booking an electric fence COC inspection. Different installations should be identified clearly so the proposed attendance and documents relate to the work you actually require.

Do not connect separate fence systems together or alter their supplies yourself. Describe their purpose and location to the person arranging the inspection.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Explain what each fence is intended to do.

Use your Gerhardsville street or property reference and the correct entrance when enquiring. If the property has a longer boundary, outbuildings or separate fenced areas, a short description of the layout helps. The perimeter protecting a home and fencing used to contain animals should not be casually described as one system without assessment.

01

A security fence surrounds a larger property

Describe the boundary and known equipment locations, including sections away from the main house. Tell Wesslink about access limitations before the appointment. The inspection should be planned around the relevant installation rather than limited accidentally to what can be seen from the driveway.

02

There are separate animal enclosures

Explain that purpose at the start and identify it separately from any electric security fence. Ask Wesslink to confirm the work that can be undertaken. Do not transfer a certificate or assumption about one kind of installation to another merely because both use electrified wires.

03

The fence was added to over several years

Collect the available dates, invoices and descriptions of extensions. Mark the sections in a simple sketch if that helps. The technician can then consider the present arrangement and its records instead of assuming the visible equipment still serves the same fence it originally supplied.

Make the quotation cover the boundary you mean.

Give the intended purpose of the inspection and all relevant access points. If the customer is seeking a sale document, send the actual request and earlier certificate. If the problem is a fault on one section, describe that separately. Wesslink can explain what needs inspection and what the proposed appointment includes.

For electric fence installation or an extension, discuss the full intended layout and any applicable approvals before work. For electric fence repairs, identify known damage and previous alterations without attempting to test the wires. Retain the completed-work records so future maintenance can be matched to the right section and system.

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 ↗

  1. 01

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    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.

A longer boundary or several separately fenced areas can involve more access and investigation than a brief description suggests. Provide the layout, purpose and equipment information upfront. Ask the quotation to identify the installation covered and any exclusions so a security-fence enquiry is not mistaken for an animal-fencing project.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · GERHARDSVILLE

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming away from the main house?

Describe the message and known affected area to Wesslink. Electric fence fault finding can be planned with suitable authorised access. Do not walk into restricted areas or touch remote fence sections to locate the fault yourself.

Can one electric fence compliance certificate cover different fence purposes?

Ask for the installations to be identified and assessed. The appropriate requirements and documents depend on the actual systems; do not assume a security-fence record also certifies a separate animal enclosure.

Must I measure the entire boundary before calling?

Provide the information you already have and say what is approximate. A drawing or property description can help explain the enquiry. Do not approach wires or inaccessible areas to obtain measurements for a first call.

Can an old extension remain if it still appears to work?

Disclose it and any available records. Its present condition and relationship to the installation need assessment; appearance or continued operation alone does not settle whether corrections are required.

When is certification possible after repairs?

An electric fence certificate of compliance depends on the required inspection and tests and a compliant result. Ask the quotation to explain any follow-up inspection needed after the agreed repairs or alterations.

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.
