Has paving, a raised garden bed or another alteration changed the space beside your private fence in Thatchfield Hills? Ask Wesslink to assess the finished arrangement before assuming the existing electric fence COC still describes it. Include changes on the neighbouring side when discussing the inspection.
Keep people and work equipment away from fence wires. Do not measure clearances by approaching live components or test whether a new surface makes the wires reachable.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Thatchfield Hills is part of the Thatchfield HOA group. Its published conduct rules address private electric fencing on adjoining boundaries, with conditions relating to neighbours and the arrangement on both sides. When surrounding work changes ground levels or access, ask the HOA about the proposal and have the fence professionally assessed against the completed surroundings.
Show the intended finished level before the contractor starts. The fence assessment should consider the new arrangement rather than the level that existed when the fence was installed. Ask whether any fence work must be planned alongside the paving, and who will coordinate the sequence.
Explain its position and intended use. Children, visitors or gardeners may use that space differently after the change. Ask for the relationship between the new feature and the fence to be assessed; do not rely on the wires being in the same position as before.
Discuss the work with the neighbour and identify the affected section. Provide any drawings or safe photographs available. Arrange access for an appropriate assessment and ask the HOA about changes to the approved arrangement, without attempting to resolve technical compliance by measuring it yourself.
Tell Wesslink whether the work is proposed, underway or complete. If building or landscaping work is still in progress, agree when the relevant fence assessment and final checks should occur. An early assessment can inform the quotation, while the completed installation needs to be evaluated in its actual finished surroundings.
Where corrections are needed, electric fence repairs can be quoted against the findings. A replacement or altered electric fence installation must also follow applicable HOA requirements and neighbour approvals. Ask the contractor to explain the parts being changed, the supporting work required and the checks included, rather than choosing a taller or different arrangement without assessment.
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
Supply the previous certificate, a description of the surrounding alteration and the affected fence sections. Ask whether the quotation includes assessment before the other work, a return visit and final inspection. Keep fence work separate from the paving or landscaping price so each contractor’s responsibilities and completion items are clear.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · THATCHFIELD HILLS
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Report the timing and location of the work. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the installation and any affected components. Do not move soil, plants or equipment against the wires to reproduce the warning.
The space around the fence may have changed. Ask for the finished arrangement to be assessed when alterations affect ground levels, nearby structures or access.
Explain the project sequence when booking. Ask what preliminary assessment is useful and when the required final inspection and tests can be completed.
Thatchfield’s published private-fence rules require written neighbour approval. Confirm the current requirements with the HOA and show the affected neighbour the proposed change before installation.
Keep the approved changes, completed fence work and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Add information about the surrounding alteration so the record describes the finished arrangement.
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.
