Ask the landlord for available board and protection records. Arrange access to the relevant electrical room, rather than assuming the tenant's key opens every area needed.

AT YOUR PROPERTY
Moving the computers does not move the building's protection
Before an office move, ask what surge protection is already installed at the new premises and which boards serve your suite. Wesslink can assess surge protection in Rivonia while your IT team plans the equipment move.
Rivonia includes retail, offices and homes, and some property records use Edenburg. Give the full street address, building and suite number on the enquiry. This helps keep the quotation, access instructions and electrical records attached to the same premises.
THE WORK TO DISCUSS
Check the destination before the move
List what stays with the building and what your business is bringing.
02
Your IT equipment
Tell Wesslink about servers, network cabinets and any UPS systems. The IT supplier can provide model details and manufacturer requirements for the equipment being relocated.
Commercial electrical work ↗03
New sockets or fit-out work
Include the proposed desk and cabinet layout. Protection can be considered alongside authorised circuit changes before furniture and equipment restrict access.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Surge protection, lightning and the right SPD
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It helps reduce risk; it does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Surge protection
SPDs are selected and coordinated for the supply, earthing, exposure, boards and equipment. Different Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 roles may be relevant.
Lightning protection
A structural lightning-protection system has a different role. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients must not be treated as one diagnosis.
Supply problems
A surge should not be diagnosed remotely. Transformers and network switching can create transient conditions, but protection cannot be promised against every voltage disturbance.
Explore SPD types, coordination and technical references
There is no universal number of surge protectors for every property. Map the incoming supply, earthing and exposure; trace main and downstream boards, cable distances and critical loads; include relevant power, data and control lines; then coordinate the selected device roles.
Manufacturer guidance should be applied to the specific installation.
CHECK BEFORE YOU NEED TO CLAIM
Does your insurance cover power-surge damage?
Your insurer’s requirements matter. Check your current policy schedule, surge-cover benefits, limits, excesses, exclusions and any protection requirements with your insurer or broker.
Installing an SPD does not automatically secure a payout. Equally, the absence of a particular device does not establish automatic rejection under every policy. Claim treatment also depends on the actual cause.
Keep incident photographs, equipment details, installation records, assessments and repair evidence. Record previous damage as evidence rather than assuming a cause.

Send your exact address, property type and equipment concerns to request a quotation. Confirm access and current availability when booking.
Can I reuse the protectors from our old office?
Give Wesslink and your IT supplier the model details and history. Their suitability needs to be considered with the new installation and equipment. Keep any existing device records with the items being moved.
The lease says Edenburg. Can I use this Rivonia page?
Yes. Include the exact street, building and suite when you enquire. Parts of Rivonia are also described as Edenburg, so the complete address is more useful than the suburb name alone.
What should a tenant report after surge damages in Rivonia?
List the affected business equipment and notify the responsible building contact. Keep the equipment repair reports and ask Wesslink about assessing the electrical installation serving your premises.
What does an SPD do?
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It reduces risk but does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Is surge protection the same as lightning protection?
No. Coordinated SPDs and a structural lightning-protection system have different roles. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients are not interchangeable.
Does a power distribution unit mean the rack has surge protection?
Check the actual model and documentation with your IT supplier. A device used to distribute power is not automatically a surge protector. Include the rack's existing equipment when asking Wesslink about the supplying installation.
Does an SPD guarantee an insurance claim will be paid?
No. Policy treatment depends on the insurer, plan, schedule, limits, excesses, optional benefits, exclusions and actual cause. Check current policy wording and preserve incident, installation and repair evidence.
