Fencing Lombardy West's blend of private stands and complex boundaries
Lombardy West consists of both freestanding homes and secure complexes, each with distinct perimeter security needs. The freestanding properties often feature long, private boundary walls, many of which are decades old and screened by mature gardens. With the Jukskei River forming a natural boundary and major routes like Modderfontein Road nearby, these individual perimeters require careful attention.
Our work in Lombardy West therefore focuses on the specific vulnerabilities of these properties. We inspect older walls for loose brackets and clear fence lines of overgrown vegetation. For any property with a boundary accessible to the public, such as those near Victoria Park or the river, we confirm that warning signs are correctly placed to meet compliance standards. In the suburb's complexes, we make sure the shared perimeter is sound, paying close attention to gate contacts and energiser performance.
When selling a property in Lombardy West, an Electric Fence System Certificate is typically requested for the transfer. For a freestanding home, the seller arranges for this inspection. In a sectional title complex, the certificate covers the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate; the agent should ask the managing agent for a copy. This is needed for any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, no matter how old the fence is. Tyson is registered as an electric fence installer with the Department of Employment and Labour, and proof 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 Lombardy West
My wall was built decades ago and the fence brackets feel loose. Does the whole fence need replacing?
Not usually. We can assess the brackets on older Lombardy West walls, replacing any that are failing and securing the rest. We will also check wire tension and the overall integrity of the fence.
My fence runs along a public path near the Jukskei River. What do I need to check?
The main compliance issue for fences facing public areas is warning signs. They must be placed at regular intervals along the entire length. We can check that your signs meet the requirements.
