Electric fencing, intercoms and pool pump boards
Fence alarm going off all night, an intercom that has gone quiet, or a pool pump that needs its own board. We repair and install all three.
An electric fence that keeps false alarming is worse than useless. After the third night of the siren going off for a branch on the wire, people switch it off, and then it is not protecting anything. Most of the time the cause is ordinary: plants touching the strands, a broken insulator, or a joint that has corroded.
We repair and install electric fences, fix intercoms that have stopped ringing or opening the gate, and fit sub distribution boards for pool pumps, so the pump has its own protection near the pool instead of a long run from the main board.
What people call us about
Fence false alarms
We walk the fence, find where it is shorting and fix it.
New electric fence
Electric fencing installed on walls and boundaries.
Intercom not working

Questions people ask
Why does my electric fence keep going off?
Usually something is touching the wire, like plants, a branch or a broken strand, or an insulator has cracked. Wind and rain make it worse. We find the spot and fix it.
Can you fix an intercom that does not open the gate?
Yes. The fault may be in the intercom, the wiring or the gate motor. We repair gate motors as well, so we can check both sides.
Why does a pool pump need its own board?
It puts a breaker and earth leakage protection close to the pump, which is outdoors and near water. It also makes the pump easier to switch off when it needs work.
Can you get into my estate or complex?
Yes. Tell us how visitors and contractors are let in, and we will arrange it before we arrive.
