Servicing Waverley's mix of freestanding homes and roadside complexes
Waverley is about 4 km south-east of Sandton City. Waverley's properties range from freestanding homes in quiet pockets to complexes along busy arterial roads like Corlett Drive and Louis Botha Avenue. A fence here is often an older installation on a long boundary wall, sometimes bordering public spaces like Waverley Park. The main challenge is securing these varied perimeters, whether dealing with mature garden overgrowth on a residential stand or making sure public-facing compliance on a main road.
Our approach is suited to the property's setting. For complexes and homes fronting busy streets such as Atholl Oaklands Road, we focus on correct warning sign placement and making sure the energiser is not publicly accessible. On established properties with large trees, we clear vegetation from the fence line and check that brackets are still secure on older walls. We also test the complete earthing system, as this is a common point of failure in long-standing installations.
When you sell a property in Waverley, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually asked for before transfer. For a freestanding house, the seller is responsible for arranging the inspection. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate is for the whole perimeter and is held by the body corporate, so the agent should get a copy from the managing agent. This is needed for 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.

Questions from Waverley
My fence is old and runs along a wall with large trees. What do you check during a compliance inspection?
Besides standard checks like earthing and warning signs, on an older Waverley property we focus on vegetation touching the wires, loose brackets on the wall, and the condition of the energiser and its backup battery.
Our complex is on Corlett Drive. Are there special rules for our electric fence?
The rules are the same, but for public-facing fences we pay extra attention to compliance. We make sure warning signs are correctly spaced and visible from the road and that no part of the system can be accidentally touched by the public.
