CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111GARAGE AND STORAGE CHANGES · EQUIPMENT ACCESS · ALTERATION RECORDS
Converting a garage or changing storage around fence equipment in Willowild? Speak to Wesslink before cabinets, partitions or building finishes restrict access. We can assess the affected electric fence installation, explain necessary alterations and help with an electric fence COC once the relevant work and inspection are complete.
Do not cover, relocate or disconnect fence equipment as part of ordinary decorating or storage work. Identify it for the appropriate professional and keep unauthorised people clear.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Johannesburg’s suburb information identifies Willowild and its extensions as distinct local addresses. For a renovation at your property, describe the actual room or outbuilding being changed and any fence equipment within it. A successful new room layout should not leave important equipment behind a fixed cupboard, inside someone else’s occupied space or without an agreed access route.
Show the proposed cabinet layout before installation. Ask whether the equipment can remain in that position and what access is needed. Do not let a cabinet installer simply box around it or move cables aside; the final arrangement needs assessment before the joinery is treated as finished.
Explain who will use the space and how the owner or authorised contractor can reach relevant equipment later. If relocation is proposed, have it assessed and quoted as electrical fence work. A new lock or private entrance should not leave the wider property’s installation inaccessible during a fault.
Describe the obstruction safely before attendance. Arrange suitable clearing without disturbing fence components or handling items touching suspect conductors. Electric fence repairs may require more than opening the garage door if the technician cannot reach the relevant installation behind stored goods.
Keep the work description and available photographs from the alteration project with the fence records. If an electric fence compliance certificate is required, provide the previous document and explain what was moved or changed. The completed arrangement must be assessed; a general room-renovation invoice may not identify the relevant fence work.
If a symptom appears during the project, provide the sequence of events for electric fence fault finding. Do not assume dust, a moved cupboard or another trade caused the fault without investigation. Agree any necessary corrections with the owner and, where relevant, the manager responsible for shared equipment before changes are made.
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
Ask for assessment, any necessary equipment relocation and repairs to be described separately from cabinetry or building work. Clarify who opens and makes good finishes if that becomes necessary. Early coordination can make the quotation more accurate by showing the intended final room arrangement instead of leaving the contractor to work around completed joinery that hides the equipment.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WILLOWILD
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Have the proposed arrangement assessed before fitting the cupboard. Suitability and access need to be established for the actual equipment rather than decided by appearance alone.
Record the normal indication and the work that preceded it. Keep clear of suspect equipment and arrange investigation instead of moving cables or repeatedly operating controls.
Discuss the assessment and documentation requirements when the work is planned. The altered installation must meet the applicable requirements after the necessary inspection and corrections.
Arrange authorised access with the occupier and discuss a workable long-term arrangement with the owner. Do not enter privately occupied space or move shared equipment without the relevant authority.
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.
