CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111SUMMERSET · PARTIAL REPLACEMENT · RETAINED FENCE SECTIONS
Does part of your Summerset fence need replacing while the rest appears serviceable? Ask for the condition of the complete installation to be assessed before deciding how much to renew. Wesslink can explain electric fence repairs, identify what can be retained and discuss the inspection needed for an electric fence COC after the agreed work.
A repair proposal should explain the affected section and the condition of retained components. Matching the appearance of an old fence is not a substitute for assessing whether the finished installation is suitable.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Summerset and its extensions include separately named residential developments. Give the actual development, street and property number when requesting work. If the fence belongs to a complex, ask its responsible manager to provide the previous repair records; a quotation for one resident’s visible section may not cover the rest of the shared installation.

Show the location using photographs taken from a safe position and describe what you noticed. Ask whether the proposed work includes checking adjoining and retained sections. The extent of visible damage and the extent of necessary repairs may differ, so agree the final work from the inspection findings.
Ask why the existing fittings can be retained and whether any other corrections have been identified. The quotation should describe the intended finished arrangement. A low initial price is difficult to compare if it leaves an unspecified amount of work to be decided during the visit.
Request an explanation of the findings behind each proposal. Compare the same fence sections, retained equipment and completion checks. Ask which items are needed to address the assessed condition and which are optional improvements, rather than choosing solely by the length of new wire listed.
Once the work is agreed, keep the affected fence sections and components identifiable in the job description. Ask the technician to explain any further defect discovered during repairs before additional work is approved. At handover, retain a description of the completed repairs and any outstanding action, with the normal operating information for equipment that has changed.
If the assessment leads to a new electric fence installation instead, compare that proposal separately. Discuss the intended route, supporting structure and retained equipment, and obtain the relevant owner or development approval before changing the boundary. A replacement decision should answer the needs of the current property and the assessed condition, not simply make every component look the same age.
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
Send the previous quotation or repair invoice, current photographs and any certificate available. Ask whether assessment, materials, labour, completion checks and certification are included. Where the condition of retained sections is uncertain, clarify how that assessment will be priced and how approval for further work will be obtained before it proceeds.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · SUMMERSET
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Report the warning and the work completed. Electric fence fault finding can assess the current installation and help identify what still needs attention.
Ask for their condition and suitability to be assessed as part of the proposal. Retention should be an explained decision, not simply an omission from the quotation.
Include it when discussing the completed work. The necessary inspection and tests, and any corrections required for a compliant result, must be allowed for.
Ask exactly what has been assessed and priced. A local repair and an assessment of the complete installation are different instructions that should be made clear.
Keep the completed-work description and the section references used, so future maintenance can distinguish repaired components from those retained.
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.
