ELECTRIC FENCE COC · HELDERFONTEIN ESTATE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming while building work is underway?+
Report the warning and affected area to the responsible estate contact. Wesslink can discuss authorised electric fence fault finding, coordinated safely with the building team.
Can a builder move a fence support to finish a wall?+
Have the proposed change reviewed by the responsible parties first. Fence work should be coordinated with the competent contractor rather than treated as an incidental building adjustment.
Can I arrange an electric fence compliance certificate at handover?+
Identify the installation and include the required inspection in the programme. Any necessary corrections and tests must be completed before certification follows a compliant result.
Does a private quotation authorise changes to the estate perimeter?+
Obtain the estate’s instruction and relevant approvals before work. The quote should then describe the authorised installation and proposed changes.
Which records should follow the house handover?+
Keep the approved work description, completed repairs and any electric fence certificate of compliance relevant to the installation, with the responsible contact for outstanding items.
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.
