CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111Northcliff • Plan the full boundary visit
For an Electric Fence COC in Northcliff, describe boundary sections that are difficult to reach. A view from the driveway may leave a rear wall, stepped section or neighbouring side unaccounted for. Wesslink can use your site description to plan access and establish what needs assessment.
Views, terraces and boundary heights are site details to confirm. A Northcliff address alone does not establish the shape or condition of your installation.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Johannesburg’s regional overview identifies Northcliff for its elevated views and natural setting. For a property where the ground level changes, this has a practical consequence: describe the fence from both accessible sides, rather than judging its reach from the front gate. Keep all measurements and condition conclusions for the inspection.
Tell us if a fence follows steps, a retaining wall or a drop in ground level. Photos taken from safe standing positions can show why a section needs a different access arrangement. Do not climb a wall or approach live conductors to obtain them.
If the only practical view of a section is from an adjoining property, discuss that access with the owner beforehand. Being able to enter your own driveway does not necessarily give the inspector access to the whole installation.
Mention loose coping, wall movement or planned rebuilding when booking. The inspection can establish the fence work required, while structural concerns may need a separate assessment. Repair sequencing matters if new supports would otherwise be fitted to a wall still due for alteration.
Start with a rough outline of the property and mark the energiser, gates, inaccessible stretches and any recently altered section. A photograph showing where one fence run meets another is often more useful than several close-ups of the same front wall. Include previous fence certificates and repair invoices if available; keep the original documents intact even when the current layout looks different.
If a landscaper, builder or gate contractor will be working near the boundary, explain the sequence before the certification visit. The final inspection should relate to the electric fence installation that will remain after the relevant work. Where a neighbour’s side, vegetation or stored materials prevent assessment, record the limitation and agree how it will be resolved. Do not describe an unexamined stretch as passed because the rest appears orderly.
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
The quotation depends on the accessible fence extent, changes in level, separate sections and actual repairs. Tell Wesslink about difficult access early so the proposed visit reflects the work, rather than an assumed level perimeter.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · NORTHCLIFF
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Identify it when booking. The scope and access must include the relevant installation; a blocked view is a reason to arrange access, not to assume that section is satisfactory.
No. Describe changes in ground level and provide safe overview photographs. Required measurements and the assessment belong with the competent person attending.
That depends on the defect and the work needed. Explain any known wall concern first so the fence inspection and separate repair responsibilities can be scheduled sensibly.
No. The actual ground levels and available working space determine the arrangements. The booking should describe your property rather than assume that every site follows the ridge terrain.
Send Wesslink a sketch or existing plan showing the inaccessible section and describe the alarms. We can plan electric fence fault finding around the available access. If the visit requires entry from a neighbouring property, arrange the owner’s permission beforehand; there is no need to climb the wall yourself.
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.
