Securing Linksfield North's mix of established homes and modern estates
Linksfield North is about 8 km south-east of Sandton City. In Linksfield North, we work on two distinct types of property. There are established freestanding homes with high walls, often surrounded by mature trees like those along Club Street. Then there are modern security estates, such as The Neighbourhood Estate, with long, shared perimeters. For the older homes, the risk is often vegetation providing cover and causing false alarms. On estate perimeters, a single fault can disable a very long section of fence if it is not zoned correctly.
Our approach is suited to the property. On established stands, we focus on clearing the fence line and using offset brackets to keep strands clear of overhanging branches. We also check that brackets are still secure on older walls. For Linksfield North's estates, we make sure long perimeters are divided into manageable zones. This means if a fault occurs, security can identify the location quickly instead of having to patrol the entire boundary.
When a property is sold in Linksfield North, an electric fence certificate is usually asked for. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges this. In a complex or estate, the certificate covers the entire perimeter and is issued to the body corporate, so sellers should request a copy from their managing agent. Any fence requires a certificate for a transfer of ownership taking place after 1 October 2012. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an installer and can issue the certificate; 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 Linksfield North
My wall on George Avenue is covered in ivy. Can you install a fence over it?
No, the vegetation must be cleared from the wall top first. We can then install the fence and advise on how to maintain the clearance so the ivy doesn't grow onto the strands and cause false alarms.
We are trustees of a complex in Linksfield North. The fence is old. Should we repair or replace it?
We would start with a full inspection. We assess the condition of the energiser, battery, brackets, and wiring. Based on that, we provide a report outlining what needs immediate repair and what the cost would be to replace the system, allowing the body corporate to make an informed decision.
