CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111GARDEN STRUCTURES · GARAGE PROJECTS · BOUNDARY PLANNING
Adding a garden room, pergola or garage feature at your Robin Acres home? Discuss the existing fence before new structures limit access or change the boundary arrangement. Wesslink can assess an electric fence installation, investigate damage and explain the inspection needed for an electric fence COC.
Do not fasten a new structure, cable or decorative item to electric fence components. Ask the relevant professionals to consider the proposed work before installation.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For a Robin Acres property upgrade, show where people will work, walk and store equipment near the fence. A garden room or covered area can change those movements even when the boundary itself stays in place. Explain the finished use of the space so the fence assessment considers more than the new structure’s appearance.
Provide the intended position and available drawings before construction starts. Ask the building contractor and fence technician to discuss the relevant arrangements. Do not decide suitable spacing yourself or use the fence brackets as convenient fixing points.
Identify any energiser, cable route or boundary section that may become harder to reach. Explain where cupboards, doors or stored items will go. Inspection and maintenance access should be considered while the layout can still be adjusted.
Keep people clear and describe what was disturbed. Electric fence repairs should be assessed against the current condition. Share the contractor’s work information without guessing which hidden connection has failed or attempting to reconnect loose components.
Explain any later phase of the project, such as paving, planting or another outside room. The fence installer can discuss the intended route and access before recommending work. Obtain applicable permission for shared boundaries or managed property, and identify building tasks that another contractor must complete before the fence work can be finished.
At handover, ask for the fence changes and completed assessment to be described clearly. Keep the record with the earlier installation documents and tell future contractors where fence-related work has been done. A finished outdoor project should not leave a temporary connection or an inaccessible section undocumented.
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
Robin Acres quotations should distinguish the fence work from construction and making good. Provide the proposed layout, known damage and any earlier findings. Ask which installation or repair items are included and what needs confirming on site before a final proposal can be agreed.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ROBIN ACRES
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Yes. Describe the changes and provide available records. Where possible, discuss the inspection before work is concealed or access is restricted, so any required fence attention can be planned sensibly.
Explain what has changed and ask for the relevant installation to be assessed. Keep the old document as history rather than assuming it describes a later structure or altered fence arrangement.
Keep contractors away from the affected wires and report the symptoms. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the installation. Do not ask the builder to move or bridge wires to keep the project going.
Send the proposed layout and intended use of the area. Wesslink can discuss the assessment needed for the fence. Early coordination helps identify required work before an installed structure makes access more difficult.
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.
