CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111RIETVLEI RIDGE · RESERVE-EDGE PERIMETER · DAMAGE REPORTS
Noticed fence damage or an alarm near the Rietvlei Ridge perimeter? Report the location to estate security and describe what you observed from a safe position. Wesslink can discuss an authorised electric fence COC inspection or repair enquiry through the responsible manager, with the fence condition assessed before a cause is assumed.
Keep away from damaged wires and wildlife. Let estate management coordinate any fence work and appropriate help for an animal; do not approach the perimeter to intervene yourself.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Rietvlei Ridge adjoins the Rietvlei Nature Reserve, and the estate has reported wildlife sightings along its perimeter. If you notice an animal and a fence problem, record the two observations separately. A sighting is useful information for management, while the actual fence damage or alert still needs technical assessment.
Give security the location, time and what you observed. Stay clear and avoid trying to move the animal or manipulate the fence. Management can coordinate the appropriate response and an authorised inspection of any reported damage.
Report the physical concern even if nobody heard a siren. Tell management which section appears affected. The fence and relevant monitoring arrangement can be checked; the absence of an observed alarm should not be treated as confirmation that no repair is needed.
Ask for the reason, intended layout and impact on the existing installation to be explained. The estate’s approval process must be followed before external alterations. Keep the technical repair proposal and any wider boundary change clear so the work restores the agreed arrangement.
For an authorised fence enquiry, provide the original report and any safe photograph, together with recent work on that section. Ask for the findings to identify the damaged components and proposed correction. If an explanation of the cause remains uncertain, the repair can still be discussed from the condition actually found rather than from a guessed event.
Electric fence repairs should be completed with the relevant checks and estate coordination. Any new electric fence installation or change to the boundary requires the applicable approval before work. Where another trade must restore a wall or support, agree the sequence so the completed fence is assessed after the supporting work is ready.
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 a quotation based on the affected section and inspection findings. Explain whether the request is to investigate an alert, repair visible damage or assess an approved alteration. Include any access or other-contractor dependency. Ask which corrections and completion checks are included, how additional findings will be reported and whether the price includes a return inspection after related work.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · RIETVLEI RIDGE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Report both observations to estate security. Authorised electric fence fault finding can investigate the installation. Keep away from the animal and wires, and do not change fence settings in response to an assumed cause.
Yes. Give the location and a safe description to the responsible manager. The physical fence and relevant equipment need assessment even if you did not hear or receive an alert.
Send the report to estate management so the responsible party can commission and coordinate the work. A shared installation needs the appropriate authority and access arrangements.
Include that requirement when the work is discussed. The relevant installation must pass the required inspection and tests before certification can be completed.
Keep the affected-section description, completed corrections and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Include approved boundary changes so a later inspection can be matched to the current arrangement.
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.
