Securing Corlett Gardens' blend of freestanding homes and complexes
Corlett Gardens is about 4 km south-east of Sandton City. In Corlett Gardens, properties range from older freestanding houses on large stands to modern sectional title complexes on subdivided plots. This creates a variety of fence conditions. An older home may have a fence on a raised or cracked boundary wall, often with established trees nearby. A newer complex will have a shared perimeter, but its condition depends on how the body corporate has maintained it since it was first installed.
Our approach in Corlett Gardens adapts to the property type. For freestanding homes, we check the stability of brackets on older walls and make sure vegetation from mature gardens is not compromising the fence strands. On sectional title perimeters, we focus on consistent coverage along the entire boundary, making sure there are enough zones for effective monitoring and that energisers are correctly sited and maintained.
When selling a property in Corlett Gardens, the process for the electric fence certificate depends on the title. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges it. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate is issued to the body corporate for the whole perimeter, so selling agents should ask the managing agent for a copy. A certificate is asked for on any change of ownership after 1 October 2012. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer; proof of registration is available on request.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our electric fencing page.
Questions from Corlett Gardens
I'm selling my townhouse in a Corlett Gardens complex. Do I get a certificate for my unit?
No, the certificate covers the entire shared perimeter and is issued to the body corporate. Your agent or conveyancer should ask the managing agent for a copy of the complex's valid certificate.
Our fence on an older Corlett Gardens property trips whenever it rains. What is the likely cause?
This is often caused by cracked insulators or poor earthing, which are common issues on older fences. Water creates a path for electricity to leak to the wall or a bracket, causing a short. We can trace the fault and replace the worn components.
