Electric Fence Maintenance
An electric fence is one of the most effective perimeter deterrents available — but only if it is correctly energised, properly earthed, and structurally intact. Vegetation growth, loose wires, corroded insulators, weakened earth spikes, and energizer component ageing all reduce the effectiveness of the fence gradually, often without triggering any visible fault indication.
Our electric fence maintenance programme covers the complete perimeter system: energizer servicing, fence wire tension and continuity checks, insulator inspection, earth stake resistance measurement, alarm output testing, and weatherproofing of junction boxes and connection points. We service Nemtek, Stafix, Gallagher, and DSC systems, as well as less common brands.
A maintenance contract gives you scheduled bi-annual service visits, a fault-reporting helpline between visits, and a written service report after each inspection. For estates and large perimeters, we offer sectioned inspection plans that cover the full fence line systematically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should an electric fence be maintained?
Electric fences should be inspected and serviced at least twice a year. Vegetation growth, weather exposure, and physical contact can degrade fence performance quickly. Annual contracts include bi-annual full services plus a helpline for fault reporting between visits.
What does an electric fence service include?
A full service covers energizer output voltage testing, fence line continuity and tension inspection, earth stake resistance measurement, insulator condition check, alarm zone and output verification, junction box weatherproofing, and vegetation clearance assessment. A service report is issued after each visit.
What energizer brands do you service?
Our technicians are trained on all major electric fence energizer brands including Nemtek, Stafix, Gallagher, and DSC. We can service and repair electric fences installed by any contractor and source genuine replacement components for all supported brands.
Can the fence be active during maintenance?
The energizer is isolated safely before physical work begins on the fence line. Our technicians follow strict safety procedures for working on energized perimeter systems. The fence is re-energized and fully tested before the technician leaves site.
