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.
