Securing Fellside's homes within its village perimeter
In Fellside, properties are freestanding homes, each with its own boundary walls, but they sit inside a larger security village. This means a fence must contend with two environments: the established gardens with large trees common to older suburbs, and the shared village perimeter with access points on roads like Houghton Drive. A fault could be from a branch overhanging a private wall on a road like Ivy Road, or an issue at a main gate.
Our work here addresses both layers of security. On individual properties, we focus on managing vegetation and checking for issues common in older installations, such as poor earthing or loose brackets on raised walls. For the village perimeter, we make sure it is correctly zoned to pinpoint faults quickly and that its gates are wired safely. We also verify that warning signs are correctly placed on both private walls and along the main enclosure.
When selling a freestanding house in Fellside, the seller is responsible for arranging the Electric Fence System Certificate for their own property. This certificate is usually asked for during the transfer process for any sale after 1 October 2012. We recommend booking an inspection when you list, which allows time for any repairs needed for compliance. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer, and we can provide proof of registration 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 Fellside
I live in Fellside. Am I responsible for my own electric fence certificate, or does the village security handle it?
For a freestanding house, the homeowner is responsible for the certificate for the fence on their own property walls. The village's perimeter fence is separate, and its certificate would be held by the body that manages the enclosure. When you sell, you will need to arrange a certificate for your own fence.
My fence is old and keeps being set off by large trees. Does the whole thing need replacing?
Not necessarily. We first inspect the fence line to clear branches and check for damaged brackets or insulators, which is common on older walls. We can often reposition strands or use offset brackets to manage tree growth. We only recommend replacing components like the energiser if they are failing.
