LAUDIUM · PASSAGES AND UPPER LEVELS · BOUNDARY CHANGES

Need an Electric Fence COC in Laudium?

Has a new stairway, balcony or passage changed how people move beside an electric fence at your Laudium property? Tell Wesslink about that change when requesting an electric fence COC inspection. The fence needs to be considered in its actual surroundings, including the way residents, staff or visitors now use the space.

Keep people away from accessible or damaged electric-fence wires. Do not test reach or clearance by touching, climbing or placing objects near the installation.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

A building alteration can change the surroundings of a fence.

Use the full Laudium street address and explain whether the premises are a home, business or shared building. If upper-floor access or a side passage has changed, include that in the enquiry even when the fence itself has not been moved. The relevant question is how the completed arrangement affects the existing installation and its safe maintenance.

01

A staircase now runs beside the boundary

Provide the approved building proposal or describe the completed work. Ask for the fence arrangement to be assessed before the new route is used close to it. Do not rely on the fact that the fence was acceptable before the staircase was added.

02

Customers or visitors use a previously private passage

Explain who will use the route and where it runs in relation to the fence. Include any new gate or entrance. Wesslink can discuss the inspection required, while the owner arranges the appropriate property approvals for the changed use or building work.

03

A balcony overlooks the fence equipment

Tell Wesslink about the position and access from the building. Let the technician assess the installation rather than attempt a measurement from the balcony yourself. Any proposed correction should be coordinated with the responsible owner and the contractor handling related building work.

Discuss the finished layout before ordering fence alterations.

Bring the building and fence proposals together early. Explain which walls, entrances and routes will remain and which will change. If several occupiers use the building, nominate one person to coordinate access and instructions. An inspection planned from the old layout may miss the reason the fence now needs attention.

Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs where components or supports need correction. Electric fence installation or relocation should follow an assessed layout and applicable approvals. A property manager should approve work affecting shared boundaries or routes. Keep the completed fence records with the building project so future maintenance staff can understand the changes.

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 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS

Get a quote for the fence you actually have.

Tell Wesslink whether you need an existing fence checked, a proposed relocation priced or defects corrected after building work. Include access to upper levels where relevant and the other contractor’s programme. Ask for the quotation to separate inspection from alterations and explain any return attendance required once the surrounding construction is complete.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · LAUDIUM

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming near a new stairway?

Keep people away from the installation and give Wesslink the alert details and alteration history. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the issue; do not touch wires or move building materials against them to find a cause.

Can an old electric fence compliance certificate cover a changed layout?

Disclose the changes and ask for the present arrangement to be assessed. The previous document helps explain the history but does not answer every question raised by later building alterations.

Does the fence have to be moved whenever a passage changes?

The actual arrangement needs inspection. Do not assume relocation is always necessary or that leaving the fence untouched is automatically acceptable; discuss the findings and proposed correction.

Can a tenant commission changes beside a shared entrance?

Obtain the appropriate owner or manager’s authority for work affecting shared areas. Explain the proposed change and the tenant’s role when booking rather than relying on access to the premises alone.

When should the final certificate be requested?

Coordinate inspection after relevant building and fence work is complete. Any electric fence certificate of compliance depends on the required inspection and tests and a compliant result for the resulting installation.

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.
