CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111STREET-SIDE WORK · CHANGED GROUND LEVELS · PRIVATE FENCE ASSESSMENT
Has pavement, drainage or other street-side work changed the surroundings of your Highlands North fence? Tell Wesslink what was altered and where the private installation is affected. We can assess the fence, explain electric fence repairs and help with an electric fence COC without assuming that completion of nearby public work includes inspection of your own equipment.
Keep clear of excavations, damaged conductors and unfinished street-side work. Do not move barriers, enter a work area or handle exposed cables to prepare for a fence inspection.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Highlands North is served along the Louis Botha Avenue transport corridor in Johannesburg’s published Metrobus routes. Where a property fronts a public route, changes outside the boundary can affect the practical inspection arrangement. If work has occurred at your address, explain the actual change and responsible project contact without assuming a corridor-wide project or a particular contractor caused a fence fault.
Provide the available project description and safely taken overview photographs. Ask for the fence’s relationship to the completed surroundings to be assessed. Do not decide that the original arrangement remains suitable simply because the wires themselves were not intentionally moved during the outside work.
Keep people away and report the location to the responsible work contact. Do not identify a cable by pulling, cutting or tracing it yourself. The relevant professionals must establish what equipment is involved before reinstatement, especially where private fence components and other services may be near the same work area.
Record the unresolved issue separately and arrange the private owner’s assessment. Electric fence fault finding should investigate the actual symptom rather than assume a street project’s completion record covers the fence. Keep available before-and-after information without turning it into an unsupported allegation about who caused damage.
Tell Wesslink about any remaining excavation, barriers or restricted access before attendance. If work requires access beyond the private property, the relevant permissions and safe arrangements must be established with the responsible parties. A private repair appointment should not involve a contractor improvising access through an active public work zone.
For an electric fence compliance certificate, provide the previous document and describe relevant boundary or ground changes. If a new electric fence installation or alteration is proposed as part of restoration, obtain applicable owner or management approval and coordinate the final arrangement with the other work. Keep the resulting fence findings separate from general pavement or drainage completion records.
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
Request a quotation for the actual fence assessment and identified corrections, with public works, excavation or structural restoration clearly assigned to their responsible parties. Explain whether access or completion of another task affects the sequence. A factual repair quotation can describe what is needed without determining liability for the original change or promising reimbursement.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · HIGHLANDS NORTH
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Explain the change and arrange assessment of the actual resulting surroundings where they affect the installation. Do not assume unchanged wires mean the whole arrangement is unchanged.
Keep clear of exposed or damaged equipment and report the timing and location. Arrange the relevant assessment without handling cables or deciding the cause from timing alone.
The private fence needs its own relevant assessment and records. Ask what the public work actually included and keep the fence request specific to your installation.
Arrange access with the responsible project contact where necessary. The contractor needs a safe, authorised work arrangement; do not move barriers or invite entry into an uncontrolled excavation.
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.
