CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111BEFORE YOU BUY · VISIBLE CONCERNS · INFORMED REPAIR DECISIONS
Considering a Risidale property and unsure what its electric fence needs? Ask for the available records and arrange authorised access for an assessment. Wesslink can discuss an electric fence COC inspection or investigate a specific concern so your repair decisions are based on findings rather than a brief viewing.
A buyer’s viewing is not a fence test. Do not touch wires or operate unfamiliar equipment, and obtain the owner’s permission before arranging inspection access.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For a Risidale home purchase, separate what you have seen from what you want established. A sagging line, an old-looking energiser and a missing document are different questions. Tell Wesslink which concerns matter to your decision, and ask the seller or agent to provide the records and access needed for the agreed assessment.
Describe the observation in ordinary words and provide a photograph only if it was taken safely and with permission. Do not turn an appearance into a diagnosis. Ask for the relevant installation to be inspected before deciding what repair is necessary.
Request the work description and any inspection document available. Find out what was repaired rather than assuming the entire perimeter was renewed. Wesslink can assess the current installation and explain any outstanding findings.
Discuss the intended change separately from assessment of the existing system. An electric fence installation extended after occupation needs its own consideration and applicable approvals. A future upgrade preference should not be confused with a defect in the installation currently being inspected.
If an alarm or another symptom is present, say so when booking; electric fence fault finding may be needed alongside other inspection work. Ask what the proposed visit will cover and what limitations apply. Do not expect a quick visual look or a photograph to answer every question about equipment and concealed connections.
When electric fence repairs are recommended, request the reasons and the work description before budgeting. Keep necessary remedial work separate from optional changes you would prefer after moving in. Share the findings with the relevant parties through the appropriate transaction process, without altering the inspector’s wording or treating the service report as legal purchase advice.
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
A Risidale pre-purchase enquiry should state whether you need a fault investigated, certification assessed or a quotation for known defects. Provide the available documents and agreed access details. The proposed price should describe the service being offered, with any repair quotation based on the actual findings.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · RISIDALE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Arrange the request with the owner’s authority and suitable access. Explain the transaction purpose and any particular concerns. Wesslink can discuss the relevant inspection and what is needed to address its findings.
It is not a forecast of future maintenance costs. Ask separately for the findings and any currently recommended work to be quoted, and identify optional upgrades you want considered.
Tell the owner or agent and include the symptom in the inspection request. Do not change controls to stop it or assume the cause from the brief visit. Arrange professional assessment of the installation.
Provide the original report and details of any later work. Ask whether the quotation addresses the same findings and what additional assessment was performed. Keep differences explicit rather than assuming the documents are interchangeable.
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.
