Need an Electric Fence COC in Thatchfield Glen?

Have a private boundary fence problem that cannot be seen properly from your side in Thatchfield Glen? Tell Wesslink which section is affected and whether access from the neighbouring property can be arranged. An electric fence COC inspection or repair visit needs access to the relevant parts of the installation.

Do not reach over a boundary, use a ladder beside the wires or enter a neighbour’s property to investigate a fault. Arrange authorised access and professional assessment.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Describe the same boundary from both sides.

Thatchfield Glen belongs to the Thatchfield HOA group. The published rules allow for private fencing on adjoining boundaries subject to conditions, including written neighbour approval. If such a fence already exists, a repair request should identify its equipment and responsible owner. Report estate perimeter concerns to management so private and shared installations are not confused.

01

The neighbour can see damage you cannot see

Ask for the location and a photograph only if it can be taken safely from an ordinary position. Pass the observation to Wesslink without trying to confirm it by touching or moving components. Agree neighbouring access if the assessment cannot be completed from your own property.

02

A wall is accessible from one garden only

Explain the obstruction on your side before the appointment. A repair that looks straightforward from a photograph may need another approach once access is assessed. Ask what needs to be arranged, and avoid promising that the technician can work from a narrow or inaccessible passage.

03

Both households report different warning times

Keep each observation with its time and the equipment on which it appeared. Establish which energiser supplies the fence being discussed. Two messages should not be treated as proof of two separate defects or combined into one assumed diagnosis before the installation is inspected.

Agree the repair and any changed arrangement separately.

For electric fence repairs, ask Wesslink to identify the defects found and the proposed corrective work. Provide existing approvals and previous work records where available. If the repair involves moving the fence or changing its arrangement, take the revised proposal to the HOA and affected neighbour before the work proceeds.

A proposed replacement electric fence installation should explain what is being retained and what will change. Ask whether the quotation includes attendance on both properties, components, testing and certification where needed. On completion, both the owner and the person arranging access should know when the work is finished and whether any items remain outstanding.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

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 ↗

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · THATCHFIELD GLEN

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming while the neighbour sees no problem?

An absent visible defect does not resolve the warning. Request electric fence fault finding and provide both observations. Leave testing and adjustments to the person assessing the installation.

Can one neighbour book the entire repair?

The person instructing the work needs authority over the affected installation and access. Agree who approves and pays for the repair before attendance, particularly if the equipment serves more than one property.

Can an electric fence compliance certificate be issued after only the accessible side is checked?

Explain the access limitation in advance. The required inspection and tests must be completed; ask what access or further work is needed rather than treating an incomplete visit as certification.

What if the repair needs a different fence position?

Ask for the proposed change in writing and obtain the applicable HOA and neighbour approvals before installation. Retain the agreed arrangement with the job records.

What should remain on file after the repair?

Keep the location, completed work and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Include revised approvals where the arrangement changed, so a future visit can identify the correct fence.

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.
