ELECTRIC FENCE COC · SILVERSTONE COUNTRY ESTATE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming where vegetation reaches the boundary?+
Report the alert and visible growth to estate management. Electric fence fault finding can assess the installation, with clearance coordinated safely. Do not assume the plant is the only fault or remove it from the wires yourself.
Can the gardener adjust wires after cutting back a hedge?+
Leave fence adjustments and electrical handling to the appropriate technician. Ask the gardener to report visible damage and coordinate the next work through the responsible manager.
Should the fence be checked after vegetation is removed?+
Discuss the original concern and anything exposed during clearance. Where damage or a fault is reported, ask for the affected installation to be assessed rather than treating a tidier boundary as confirmation that it is working correctly.
Who requests the electric fence compliance certificate for the perimeter?+
The responsible estate or system manager should identify the installation and arrange the relevant inspection. Residents can forward a document request and their property reference to that contact.
What should be retained after clearance and repairs?+
Keep the gardening and fence-work descriptions separately, with any electric fence certificate of compliance issued following the required checks. This helps establish what was completed if another concern arises later.
Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
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.
Will the inspection fee include repairs?+
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.
