ELECTRIC FENCE COC · OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming while you wait for a repair quote?+
Report the current symptoms to Wesslink and ask about appropriate attendance. Electric fence fault finding can identify the problem. Do not bypass warnings or make temporary electrical connections while deciding on the quotation.
Can I request an itemised repair quotation?+
Ask for the findings, proposed corrections, materials and completion checks to be described. If some work depends on further investigation, request an explanation of that stage and how additional costs will be authorised.
Can an electric fence compliance certificate be issued after only some repairs?+
Certification depends on the relevant installation achieving a compliant result after the required inspection and tests. Ask what remains outstanding before treating a staged repair as complete.
How do I compare a repair quote with a new installation quote?+
Compare the installation covered, retained equipment, work included and final checks. Ask each contractor to explain why their proposal addresses the findings and whether optional features are included.
What should I keep once the work is finished?+
Retain the accepted quotation, completed-work record and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Keep unresolved items clearly identified until they have been addressed and checked.
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.
