Westdene - fence inspections for homes and shared properties

Need an Electric Fence COC in Westdene?

Contact Wesslink for an electric fence COC in Westdene when you need a fence inspected for transfer, after alterations or alongside repairs. Describe any alarm or damage and provide the records you have. At a shared property, arrange one contact who can provide access and discuss the findings with the owner.

Tell us how your particular house is occupied. A Westdene address does not mean the property is a commune or student residence.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Give the inspector the fault and the full fence route.

For a private home, identify the entrance, equipment location and sections needing attention. At a shared house, keys and records may be held by different people. Westdene's shared-accommodation setting makes a continuing property contact useful, especially when the resident who reported an alarm is about to move out.

01

The fence alarm is passed between residents

Record the original warning and when it happened rather than forwarding conflicting guesses. Give the owner or manager the location and any earlier repair reference. Wesslink can investigate the relevant installation with access arranged by the responsible contact.

02

A sale or handover needs a certificate

Send the actual document request and any earlier certificate. Mention later fence or gate work, including changes made during a tenancy. The inspection should cover the current installation rather than rely on a rental checklist that says only that a fence is present.

03

Equipment is behind a locked or occupied area

Arrange the access needed before attendance. Residents do not need to open electrical equipment or move damaged wires to help. Explain any area that cannot be made available so the inspection limitation and further visit can be discussed.

Leave the household with a clear repair outcome.

Ask what the inspection found, which work is required and whether the fence needs further attention before it returns to normal use. If a quote includes repairs and optional improvements, keep those items clear. Give the findings to the owner or authorised manager and a practical update to the residents using the property.

Retain the completed-work description and fence documents where the next responsible person can retrieve them. A relevant photograph or message can help explain a fault, but an entire house-group conversation is unnecessary. If access or another repair remains outstanding, record it directly instead of treating a completed visit as proof that every part of the installation has been checked.

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 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    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.

For electric fence installation or electric fence repairs at a Westdene shared house, confirm the owner’s instruction and explain inaccessible rooms, caretaker availability and move-out dates before requesting attendance. Agree who authorises remedial work so residents are not asked to make spending decisions for an absent landlord.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Must every resident be home for the fence inspection?

Only the access needed for the actual installation must be arranged. Tell Wesslink about occupied or locked spaces in advance so the owner can coordinate the necessary people.

Can the tenant who reported the alarm approve all repairs?

Only if that person has the required authority from the responsible property client. Reporting a problem and authorising expenditure are different roles.

Should we send the entire house WhatsApp history?

Provide relevant observations and existing documents. Unrelated personal messages are unnecessary; a short dated account is usually easier to use.

Does a fence COC confirm that shared accommodation has municipal consent?

It concerns the fence installation. Any planning or accommodation approval must be established through its own records and the relevant authority.

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.
