CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111REPORTED SHOCKS · NEARBY METALWORK · PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT
Felt a shock or tingling sensation from a gate, railing or other metal near your Whiteridge fence? Keep clear and arrange appropriate professional help. Tell Wesslink exactly what was reported so the relevant electrical assessment and any electric fence repairs can be discussed.
Do not touch the metal again, ask someone else to try it or use a tool to test it. Keep others away. If someone is injured or there is immediate danger, seek the appropriate emergency assistance.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For a Whiteridge home or premises, nearby metalwork may be used by residents, visitors or workers during ordinary entry. If a shock has been reported, identify the location without approaching it again. Explain whether there is fence equipment nearby, but leave the cause to professional assessment rather than deciding which installation must be responsible.
State what was touched and where the person was, using information already known. Keep the area clear and tell the responsible property contact. Do not repeat the contact to determine whether the sensation was strong, brief or still present.
Give both reports and their known timing. Electric fence fault finding may form part of the investigation, alongside other relevant electrical assessment. Do not assume the two observations establish a cause or disconnect equipment yourself to compare the result.
Provide available information about lighting, gates, pumps or other installations in the area. The relevant professionals can decide what needs assessment. You should not open enclosures or follow cables to prove which system reaches the metalwork.
When arranging help, state that a shock or tingling sensation was reported; do not describe it only as a fence certificate enquiry. Ask what the assessment covers and which other work may need the appropriate professional. Keep the findings factual, including any part that could not be accessed or assessed.
If you also need an electric fence COC, discuss that inspection after the immediate concern has been raised. For a new electric fence installation or alteration, explain the nearby structures and ordinary access routes and obtain applicable property approval. Necessary repair and inspection decisions should follow the actual findings rather than a guess about which component caused the report.
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
For Whiteridge, begin with the reported shock location and the electrical systems known to be nearby. Ask what investigation is proposed before a repair price is settled. Fence work and other electrical repairs should be identified clearly so the owner understands which installation has been assessed and what remains.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WHITERIDGE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Tell the person arranging the visit about the shock first. The relevant fault needs appropriate assessment and necessary work, alongside any inspection required for certification. Do not treat the document request as the only issue.
No. Keep clear and report the new concern for assessment. Provide the existing documents as useful history, together with information about any later changes.
Report both concerns and prevent further contact with the affected area. Do not test the metal, reset equipment repeatedly or ask another person to reproduce what happened.
The description helps explain the concern, but the relevant installation needs assessment. Keep observations separate from assumptions, and ask for the technical findings and proposed work to be explained.
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.
