RETURN INSPECTIONS · COMPLETED CORRECTIONS · CLEAR OUTSTANDING ITEMS

Need an Electric Fence COC in Morningside Hills?

Have repairs been completed after a fence inspection at your Morningside Hills property? Wesslink can assess the resulting installation and explain what remains before an electric fence COC can be considered. Send the original findings and the repair description so the return visit addresses the actual work rather than starting with an unexplained invoice.

Keep the original defect report intact. A repairer’s note should explain what was done without rewriting the earlier findings as though they never existed.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Make the return visit ready to assess the completed work.

Morningside Hills is a separately recorded Sandton place name. Include that full address and any development name on the repair and inspection records. If the original report uses a broader Morningside description, identify the same property and installation clearly so a later contractor does not match the work to a similarly named site.

01

A different contractor completed the corrections

Provide that contractor’s work description and the original findings together. Identify any item they treated differently or could not complete. Electric fence repairs should be traceable to the problem being addressed, while the return assessment considers the resulting installation rather than assuming that every item on the earlier report has been resolved.

02

Some work is still waiting for another trade

Explain what remains unfinished, such as supporting wall work or a changed gate. Ask whether the relevant fence assessment can proceed or whether suitable completion and access are needed first. Avoid booking a final visit on a date when essential work is still only expected, especially if it affects the section needing inspection.

03

The invoice is too vague to follow

Ask for a factual description of what was repaired or replaced and where. Do not fill in technical details yourself to make the file look complete. The inspector may still need to assess the equipment, but a clear work record helps identify what has changed and what remains uncertain.

Treat a return assessment as a check of the installation.

For an electric fence compliance certificate, the required condition and checks still need to be satisfied after corrective work. A paid account or a contractor’s assurance is not the same as a completed assessment. Arrange access to the relevant route and equipment, including any area that was unavailable during the original visit.

If the repair became a larger electric fence installation change, describe the final arrangement and obtain any applicable owner or management approval. Where a symptom persists, include it in the new instruction so electric fence fault finding can address the remaining concern. Keep the completed findings and relevant certificate together, with any separate future improvement clearly distinguished from work already assessed.

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.

Ask what the return attendance covers and provide the earlier report before a price is agreed. Explain whether the same installation is being checked, additional work was completed or access remains restricted. Further repairs or investigation should be identified and authorised explicitly instead of assumed included in a simple document handover.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

When should I arrange the return inspection for my electric fence certificate of compliance?

Send the completed repair description and explain any work still outstanding. Wesslink can discuss the visit timing so the relevant installation is ready, accessible and available for the necessary checks.

Is your electric fence alarming after the listed corrections were done?

Record the current symptom and send the repair description. Tell the inspector before the return visit so the continuing fault is included rather than treated as already resolved.

What if another contractor changed the proposed repair method?

Provide their actual work description and explain the difference. The resulting installation needs assessment; do not alter the original report to make it appear that the first proposal was followed exactly.

Should I book before the wall or gate contractor finishes?

Explain the remaining work and timing first. Agree the appropriate sequence so the relevant fence sections are ready and accessible for a useful assessment.

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.
