GLEN LAURISTON · HOUSE AND OUTBUILDINGS · CERTIFICATE EXTENT

Need an Electric Fence COC in Glen Lauriston?

Buying a Glen Lauriston property with a cottage, workshop or separate building and unsure what the fence certificate covers? Wesslink can discuss an electric fence COC inspection using the actual layout and existing records. Include all relevant boundary sections, even if they are outside the part of the property you first viewed.

A certificate request should describe the fence installation. The number of buildings on a property does not by itself establish how many fence systems exist.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Look beyond the main house during the fence handover.

Give the Glen Lauriston street address and any named development on the property documents. If more than one building uses the same grounds, ask the seller how the fence and its equipment are arranged. An inspection enquiry should include the rear yard, separate entrance or other area where relevant, without assuming each has an independent system.

01

The energiser is in an outbuilding

Arrange access with the person occupying or controlling that building. Tell Wesslink where the equipment is understood to be. The inspection should not depend on discovering during the visit that the keyholder is unavailable or that part of the installation cannot be reached.

02

The rear yard was not included in the viewing

Ask the seller for access and information about any fence there before the inspection. If the boundary layout is uncertain, explain that in the enquiry. Wesslink can assess the installation rather than rely on a photograph of only the front of the property.

03

A cottage has separate security equipment

Identify that equipment and ask for its records as well as those of the main house. It may serve a separate purpose or connect to a wider system. Do not assume the main house’s documents describe every addition made for the cottage.

Make access part of the sale enquiry.

Before confirming the appointment, ask the seller which buildings and yard sections need to be opened and who will attend. Send the earlier certificate and known alteration history. If occupation will change before the work is complete, agree who will remain responsible for providing access and approving any quoted corrections.

Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs after inspection and a proposed electric fence installation where an approved layout is needed. Check any relevant estate, complex or owner permissions before alterations. Keep the final records with the property documents so a later sale does not rely on the same incomplete description.

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 ↗

    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 property with several occupied or locked areas may need coordinated access even when it has only one fence installation. Explain that before requesting a price. The quotation should identify what is being inspected and whether corrections or return attendance are included, without assuming a building’s electrical certificate covers the fence.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · GLEN LAURISTON

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming near a separate cottage?

Give Wesslink the alert wording and explain the cottage’s equipment and entrance. Electric fence fault finding can establish what needs attention. Avoid assuming that the nearest building owns the faulty section.

Does the main house’s electric fence compliance certificate cover the whole erf?

Check the actual installation described and disclose later additions. Wesslink can consider the documents against the current arrangement; the address alone does not explain which equipment and sections were inspected.

Can a seller arrange inspection while tenants are away?

The seller needs to arrange lawful, authorised access through the appropriate property process. Confirm the required areas with Wesslink before the visit rather than assuming access to the main house will be sufficient.

Should I ask for separate quotes for each building?

First identify the fence installation or installations. Explain the layout and who controls each area so the quotation can follow the actual work instead of being divided arbitrarily by building.

What happens if some equipment is inaccessible?

Discuss access before certification can be completed. An electric fence certificate of compliance depends on the required inspection and tests; an inaccessible part should not be represented as having been checked.

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.
