ELECTRIC FENCE COC · THATCHFIELD RIDGE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming during the handover period?+
Save the message and notify the person responsible for the installation. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the warning; tell Wesslink about incomplete work and recent changes before attendance.
Can I request an electric fence compliance certificate before accepting the work?+
Ask for the required inspection and tests to form part of completion. Certification depends on the installation passing, not simply the invoice being settled or equipment being delivered.
What if the developer says the fence belongs to the estate?+
Ask the HOA or manager to identify the installation and provide the appropriate records. A homeowner should not authorise changes to shared equipment without the responsible party’s agreement.
Can Wesslink quote to finish another contractor’s work?+
Provide the original agreement, available equipment information and remaining items. The condition and compatibility of the work already installed must be assessed before a completion quotation is agreed.
Which final documents should I request?+
Keep the completed-work description, equipment information and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Close off the outstanding-item list explicitly rather than leaving completion to a verbal assurance.
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.
