CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111FENCE AND GATE SYMPTOMS · CLEAR REPORTING · COORDINATED REPAIRS
Has your Sandown fence alarm appeared alongside a gate or camera problem? Tell Wesslink what each system is doing, without assuming they have the same fault. We can arrange electric fence fault finding, explain the relevant repairs and assess the installation for an electric fence COC when that documentation is needed.
Do not disconnect security equipment or bridge connections to see whether a message disappears. Keep occupants clear of damaged equipment and report each observed symptom accurately.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Sandown shares a local residents-association context with Strathavon and Eastgate through SSERA. At a particular property, security equipment may have different installers, owners and service contacts. If several systems seem affected, a short sequence of observations is more useful than a general report that all the security has failed.
Record which happened first, if you actually observed it. Note whether the gate was moving and what the normal fence display showed. Do not repeatedly operate the gate to recreate the symptom. Tell the relevant contractors about recent work so they can assess their equipment and coordinate where the installations meet.
Keep the camera report separate from the fence indication. Share the time of both events with the appointed contacts, but do not treat one as proof of the other’s cause. A fence assessment does not automatically include repair of cameras, networks or a separate monitoring system.
Collect their findings and work descriptions in date order. Ask what each visit actually established and what remains unresolved. Electric fence repairs should be identified by the fault and equipment addressed, allowing a later technician to understand the work without relying on a verbal claim that everything was checked.
If an electric fence compliance certificate is part of the request, mention that before the visit. Provide the previous certificate and details of relevant gate, supply or fence alterations. A specific fault investigation may not establish the condition of every relevant part of the installation, so agree the wider assessment needed for the document.
Where a new electric fence installation or extension is proposed alongside access-control changes, bring the relevant work descriptions together. The owner or facilities manager should identify who approves each part and who can provide access. This helps avoid a finished gate project leaving fence connections or records for an unspecified later contractor to resolve.
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 the fence investigation and any proposed repairs to be priced clearly, with other security services identified separately. If another contractor must attend or complete work first, agree that sequence. A combined symptom report is useful evidence, but it should not turn into an open-ended quotation that appears to cover every device at the property.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · SANDOWN
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Record the message and circumstances without repeating the movement as a test. Arrange assessment and provide details of recent gate or fence work; the timing alone does not prove the cause.
Explain both symptoms when making contact. The appropriate attendance depends on the equipment affected, and the relevant contractors may need to coordinate rather than one guessing about the other’s installation.
Yes, state that requirement and provide the installation records. The necessary inspection and any corrections must be included in the agreed work.
Keep the dates, actual findings, work completed and symptom after each visit. This is more useful than a list of replaced parts with no explanation of the fault they were intended to address.
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.
