CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111DEVELOPMENT PLANNING · EXISTING FENCE RECORDS · CLEAR PROJECT STAGES
Before a Glenadrienne development project changes an existing boundary, establish what fence equipment is already there and what the finished property will need. Wesslink can assess the current installation for an electric fence COC, identify defects and discuss proposed alterations. Involve the fence contractor early enough to coordinate with the designer and builder.
Planning support, building approval and fence certification are separate matters. Keep each decision with the professional or authority responsible for it.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
The HGC Residents Association publishes a specific position on proposed development in Glenadrienne. For an owner considering additional dwellings or a revised layout, that local planning discussion is a prompt to coordinate the boundary work early. Identify the existing fence, proposed entrances and final management arrangements before ordering equipment or accepting a quotation based only on the old property layout.
Show where the existing fence and energiser are known to be and describe the proposed changes. Keep uncertain cable routes marked as unknown rather than drawing them as verified. Electric fence installation planning can then be discussed alongside the entrance, wall and service arrangements before the builder works around assumptions.
Provide the earlier certificate and maintenance history, and arrange assessment of the retained installation. Do not assume that retained means suitable or that new buildings require every fence component to be replaced. Ask the quotation to explain which work corrects existing defects and which work responds to the planned layout.
Decide who will receive fence documents and manage maintenance when the work is handed over. If a common installation will serve more than one occupier, its access and approval arrangements need to be clear. The builder’s contact details alone are not a lasting maintenance plan for the people who will use the property.
An electric fence compliance certificate enquiry should describe the installation being assessed at that time. If the project has unfinished boundary work, say what is complete and what remains proposed. Ask how those stages affect the inspection and any necessary further attendance. A document for an earlier layout should not be treated as the final handover record after substantial changes.
Electric fence repairs during construction need coordination with the responsible project contact. Keep other trades away from equipment unless the appropriate arrangements have been made, and obtain applicable property or management approval before alterations. Retain the findings, authorised changes and completion descriptions so the final inspection can follow the actual work rather than reconstructing it from invoices with vague descriptions.
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
Provide the current layout and the proposed finished arrangement when asking for a price. Request a clear distinction between condition assessment, corrective work and new project requirements. Identify work that depends on completed walls or gates so the quotation and attendance plan do not assume every section will be ready together.

No fixed price is assumed before the installation and access requirements are understood.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · GLENADRIENNE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
No. Planning representations and fence assessment concern different matters. Arrange the appropriate project approvals and the inspection of the installed fence separately.
Report the time, message and nearby work being carried out. Electric fence fault finding should establish the relevant cause; do not ask building staff to reconnect or bypass equipment to keep the project moving.
It needs assessment against its condition and the proposed arrangement. Provide earlier records and the plans so retained equipment and required alterations can be considered clearly.
Give them to the owner or manager responsible for the completed installation, with clear access and maintenance information. Keep unresolved project work separate from items already completed and 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.
