VACANT PROPERTIES · RETURNING HOME · PREPARING FOR OCCUPATION

Need an Electric Fence COC in Kelly Ridge?

Preparing a vacant Kelly Ridge property for a buyer, tenant or returning household? Arrange a fence assessment before assuming the system is ready because it switches on. Wesslink can inspect the installation, discuss electric fence repairs and address an electric fence COC request as part of the preparation.

Keep people away from damaged wires or equipment found on arrival. Do not restore an unfamiliar or visibly damaged installation by trial and error.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Check what has changed while the property was unoccupied.

At a Kelly Ridge home that has stood empty, the person arranging work may not know when a fence problem began. Give Wesslink the last known working history and explain who has visited since. A caretaker’s observations, earlier repair record or safely taken photograph can help without turning an uncertain history into a claimed cause.

01

No one knows the current settings

Provide the available equipment instructions and identify who previously managed the fence. Do not ask a new occupant to experiment with controls or passwords. The technician can assess the installation and explain what operating information should be handed over.

02

Other trades have been on site

List any known building, gardening or gate work during the vacancy. Say what is confirmed and what you cannot establish. Inspection can assess the current fence without assuming that a particular visitor or contractor caused the problem.

03

The move-in date is approaching

Explain the date when booking and arrange access early enough for findings and any repair quotation. Certification cannot be promised before inspection. Keep the incoming occupant informed of the actual work completed and any outstanding items.

Prepare the fence handover alongside the keys.

Ask for the inspection findings and the work needed to be explained clearly. If electric fence fault finding identifies a problem, keep the repair instruction specific to that finding. Avoid using a general “make everything work” request that leaves uncertainty about what was assessed, particularly where several security devices are present.

If a new electric fence installation is proposed before occupation, confirm the intended perimeter and obtain applicable approvals for shared or managed property. After the work, keep the relevant documents and user instructions available to the new occupant. Transfer private access information securely and make clear who should be contacted for future faults.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

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 ↗

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Can I book an electric fence compliance certificate inspection before a tenant arrives?

Yes. Explain the planned occupation and provide access to the relevant installation. Allow for the possibility that defects or further access need to be addressed before certification can be completed.

Should the electric fence certificate of compliance stay with an empty property?

Keep it securely with the owner or responsible manager, together with the installation records. Make it available for inspection and provide relevant information at the eventual handover.

Is your electric fence alarming when the property is opened up?

Note what happens and any visible message from a safe position. Contact Wesslink for assessment. Do not repeatedly switch equipment or remove wires to find a combination that stops the alarm.

What if I cannot provide any earlier documents?

Say so when arranging the visit. Wesslink can discuss assessing the existing fence based on what is present and accessible. Missing records should be identified honestly rather than replaced with a guessed installation history.

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.
