CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111TEMPORARY ACCESS · FENCE REINSTATEMENT · COMPLETE PROJECT HANDOVER
Need a boundary section opened for building access or a large delivery at your Orchards property? Plan the fence work before anyone removes supports or wires. Wesslink can assess the installation, explain the required alteration and reinstatement, and help with an electric fence COC once the relevant work and checks are complete.
Do not cut or temporarily bridge fence wires to create an opening. Arrange the appropriate contractor work and property approval before access changes.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Orchards forms part of the local community around the Norwood and Paterson Park area and appears in Johannesburg’s heritage-planning coverage. Where a property project needs a temporary boundary opening, consider the supporting wall or gate and any applicable property approval as well as the fence. The practical plan should describe how the final installation will be restored after the access is no longer needed.
Give the proposed access requirement to the responsible property and fence contractors before confirming removal work. A delivery booking should not become an instruction to dismantle live equipment on arrival. Discuss the actual electric fence installation and supporting structure so the necessary work can be assessed and agreed in advance.
Identify who controls the changed area and coordinates the next stage. Keep a record of the fence work carried out and what is still required. Do not let an arrangement made for one day become an undocumented long-term change simply because the building schedule extended. Any further alteration needs appropriate assessment and approval.
Provide the finished wall or gate arrangement and the earlier removal record. Electric fence repairs and reinstatement should consider the resulting installation, including retained and new components. Ask who will complete the work and arrange the relevant checks so restoring the physical opening does not leave the fence handover unfinished.
For an electric fence compliance certificate assessment, provide the earlier document and describe the temporary changes and final work. If the finished layout differs from the original, explain that before the return visit. The inspector needs the actual installation, not an assumption that every removed component went back in the same place and condition.
If an alarm or other symptom remains after reinstatement, retain the work description and report the observation. Electric fence fault finding should assess the current system without guessing which stage caused the problem. Obtain management approval where shared property is affected, and keep the completed findings with the building records so future maintenance can follow the full sequence.
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
Ask for removal or alteration, reinstatement and required assessment to be described clearly in the quotation. Explain whether other trades control the timing and whether new supporting work will change the final layout. A price for creating temporary access should not be mistaken for the cost of a completed and assessed fence afterwards.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ORCHARDS
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Provide the original records and the complete alteration and reinstatement history. The resulting installation can then be assessed, with required corrections addressed before certification.
Record the message and send the work description. Do not adjust connections or try different joins yourself; arrange assessment of the completed arrangement.
Do not assume fence work forms part of their task. Arrange the appropriate contractor and approval beforehand so access changes are handled safely and reinstatement is planned.
Explain the revised requirement and obtain applicable property approval. The final fence arrangement needs its own assessment and agreed work rather than relying on a temporary-removal instruction.
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.
