If trenching, irrigation or other service work is planned near your Hurlingham boundary, tell the fence contractor before excavation begins. Wesslink can assess an existing installation for an electric fence COC and explain required corrections. Knowing what is being changed helps coordinate fence work with the contractor opening or restoring the ground.
Do not dig to locate an unknown cable, pull on a loose wire or assume an exposed service belongs to the fence. Keep clear and report it.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
The HGC Residents Association covers Hurlingham and publishes advice for residents considering local property work, including borehole enquiries. If your project involves drilling access, pipe routes or trenches near a fence, discuss the actual route before work starts. Hurlingham and Hurlingham Manor are separate booking details, so provide the full street address and responsible project contact.
Share available plans and the previous installer’s records with the people coordinating the work. Identify which information is verified and which route is uncertain. The fence contractor can assess the relevant arrangement; a sketch based on memory should not be treated as permission for another trade to cut, relocate or reconnect a cable.
Explain the finished location and the other contractor’s requirements before accepting an electric fence installation alteration. Ask who will complete each part and when the area will be available for assessment. Any owner or management approval needed for the boundary or common equipment should be obtained before it is disturbed.
Record the symptom and the location and dates of the work. Retain photographs taken during the project if they are already available. Electric fence fault finding should assess the evidence without assuming the trenching caused the defect or ordering excavation simply because the timing seems connected.
For an electric fence compliance certificate assessment, provide the earlier document and explain whether any part of the installation was disconnected, moved or replaced during the work. Ask the responsible contractors for clear completion descriptions. A statement that the trench has been filled or the irrigation works is not a description of what happened to the fence equipment.
Electric fence repairs should identify the condition found and the work completed. Coordinate access before paving or planting makes a relevant area difficult to reach again. If structural or service work remains unfinished, make that clear in the attendance arrangements. Keep the final fence records with the project documents so later maintenance can follow the actual route and changes that were assessed.
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
Describe the planned excavation and reinstatement when asking for a quote. Ask whether the price covers assessment, fence alterations, identified repairs or further attendance after another trade finishes. Groundwork and making good should have a clearly agreed responsibility instead of being assumed part of a general fence call-out.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · HURLINGHAM
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Explain the proposed work first. Assessment may be useful before changes, with appropriate checks of the resulting installation afterwards. Agree the sequence so completed groundwork does not conceal unresolved fence work.
Record the message and provide the work history. Do not uncover services or reconnect wires yourself. The investigation should establish the relevant cause before repairs or further excavation are prescribed.
Do not assume that is included in their work. Arrange appropriate fence-related attendance and clear responsibility before equipment is moved or disconnected.
Say that the route is unknown and supply any earlier records or installer information. Avoid presenting a guessed line as verified; suitable assessment and coordination are needed before work affects the area.
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.
