ELECTRIC FENCE COC · LYTTELTON MANOR
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming even though the display looks normal?+
Send the exact message or indicator description and the time it occurs. Electric fence fault finding can assess the equipment and fence together. Different models use indicators differently, so avoid interpreting a light without identifying the model.
Does a ticking energiser mean the whole fence is working?+
It does not replace an inspection of the fence and its connections. Tell Wesslink why you are concerned and ask what checks are needed for the installation as a whole.
Can I get an electric fence compliance certificate from a photograph?+
A photograph can help explain the enquiry, but the required inspection and tests must be completed. It cannot establish the condition of equipment, connections and sections that have not been assessed.
Should I book a repair or a compliance inspection first?+
Tell Wesslink what prompted the Lyttelton enquiry: an alarm, visible damage or a certificate request. If a fault and a sale deadline both apply, mention both. Ask whether attendance includes investigation, compliance inspection and quoted corrections, and how additional work will be approved.
What happens if the inspection finds defects?+
Discuss the corrections and any follow-up checks with Wesslink. An electric fence certificate of compliance depends on a compliant result after the required inspection and tests, rather than on the fence merely operating.
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.
