task 6 repairing felt and tile batten

method statment

The first thing we have to do is to view the property and determend how much work is needed and the amount of time it will take. The next thing we will have to do is to get all the required materials and tools. we then will send a quote and if the cilent is happy we will then proceed with the work. we will first remove the old broken tile batten. once we removed the broken tile batten and left over felt. we then dispose of it so that we can maintain a tidy work area. after disposeing of all the old materials we then measure the the space wear the felt has to go plus 100mm extra to go up the sides. once we measure it we will then use a standly knife to cut it to size. we will then attach the felt using galvinised nails. once the felt is attached we then will attach the batten using galvised nails and makeing sure that the batten is all the equal distance apart. once we attached all the batten and felt we will then tidy up making sure that we dont leave any rubbish on or in the client place.

risk assessments


There is a risk of cutting or getting splinters from the wood so you should wear gloves to protect your hands.

There is a risk of cutting your self while cutting the batten to size so to prevent this you should take your time cutting and wear gloves.

limitation

Slope Limitations = In low-slope roofs, which include 2:12 up to 4:12, felt courses should overlap a minimum of 19 inches. This will provide a double layer of underlayment across the entire roof.

The limitations of galvinised nails is that they are very easy to bend if you cant get the right angle.

common defects

one of the common defects of galvised nails is that they tend to need replacing every 20 years due to nail fatigue

one of the common defects of baten is that the batten bows and twists very easy if not stored correctly.

quote

batten = £10 for pack of 12
felt = £40
galvinised nails = £6
labour = £30 x 3 people = £90

under ground drainage

Method statment

First we had to get are correct P.P.E (personal-protective-equipment) Gloves, Goggles. Steel toe cap boots, and overalls. When we got to the sight we had to find out what the problem was. We had to fix a leak from the sink waste. we started to reconnect all the pipes. we first started with the sink. we connect the pipe to the sink that comes out of the wall, and has a bend on it. right at the other side of the pipe and put a bung into it and twist it tight so the water doesn't escape from it. we amde sure that there was a fall on it so the water would not build up .Once we done that we then poured the some water in it to see if the bung was tight enough to not leak. after we made sure that the bung was not going to leak we then pourd 7 buckets of water in there to make sure that there were no leaks in the pipe work after we tested it we then tidyed the work area and made sure it was safe and that there were no water on the floor.

Common defects

With having underground drains from the sink, You can get couple of problems. The main is where you get blockage, and the sink would start to clog.

Limitations

Drainage systems can prevent water accumulation that can lead to flooding by directing the water away from your home. Water that over-accumulates in your garden may kill plants.
 Drainage systems also prevent the accumulation of stagnant water, which can encourage mosquitoes to breed.

Risk assesment

With underground draiange, it can cause leaks on your floor. You can slip over it and have a injury.
Where the pipes are you can trip over them when they are getting completes.

When your cutting a pipe to make it smaller, you can cut your self where the pipe has been cut because it can be sharp.

laying slabs

method statement

We first went and visted the area we will be working work and then esterated the amount of time it would take to complete the job. We then done a quote and if the client were to be happy we would then proceed with the work. We then prepping the area that you are working in and gather the materials and tool needed to complete the job. We then went and collected the mortar and then we put it in place where we are laying the slabs. We layed the first slab and then the second and then we  leveled them in the way you want the water to drain off. After that lay another two slab and level them to the first two slabs and repeat this until the job is complete.

risk assessment

there is a risk of tripping over the slabs so we will corner of the work area so that no one can accidently trip

there is a risk of getting lime in your eyes because of it being in the pug so to pervent this we will wear all of our P.P.E witch consists of goggles, glove and boots

there is a risk of dropping a concrete slab on your foot so we will wear steel toe capped boots to prevent this.

limitations

the limitations of concrete slabs are that they could last 25 years but most do not last that long as some of the slab brake or the colour fades and they crack.

the limitations of mortar are that over a long amount of time it may wash away but it also could last 25 years.

replace a braoken slate roof

Method statement

we first went to view the property and determent the amount of work and then creat a quote. once we got the job we will then make sure we have the correct P.P.E ( gloves, goggles and steel toe capped boots). once we had to corect stuff we then hired a scafold and made sure that the suppliers set it up.once all the scafold was set up. we will then use the slate ripper to take out the old screws and we will then carfully pull the broken slate tile making sure that no parts of the broken tile falls. once we removed the broken tile we will then attach a pice of lead to the tile under neath once that is attached we will then slide the slate tile into posision and bend the lean over the top of the tile to hold it in place. once that is done we will then clean up and dismantal the scaffold.

tools

• slate ripper
• hammer
• broom
• brush
• dust pan
• bin
• tap measure

materials

• slate
• galvanised nail
• lead strip

risk assessment

• There is a risk of slate falling and hitting some member of the public so you should use a cargo net to catch any falling debree.

• There is a risk of falling as we will be working at a height so we will use a harnice attached to the scaffolding

• There is a risk of cutting your self with the broken bits of slate so we will wear P.P.E (glove, goggles and  steel toe capped boots)

limitations

one of the limitations of slate roofing is that it is very heavy and some roof may not be able to support it so they have to be reinforced.

An other limitation of slate roofing is the cost slate is quite expensive


common defects

Mineral Inclusions : Slates with mineral inclusions, the wash-out of minerals in some slates can lead to holes and leaks

nail fatigue : where the nail rust and need to be replaced.

task 2 repair gardern wall

Method Statement

The first thing we did was to make sure that we had the correct P.P.E (gloves, goggles and steel toe capped boots). we then located the area that needed repairing. Once we found the area that needed repairing, we then took out the loose bricks and got as much of the old mortar out of the hole where the brick was. we then loaded the hole with mortar and pushed the brick into the hole makeing sure that it is flush with the wall. once it was flush we then scraped of the exess and used a jointing tool to render and make sure the aperance was good. we then finaly cleaned up all the tools and equipment as well as the work area.

Tools

• jointing iron
• pointing trowel
• bolster
• spirit level
• bin
• dust pan
• brush
• broom
• goggles
• gloves
• boots (steel toe capped)
• bucket

Material

• bricks
• mortar
• water

Common defects

Brick Rot : Bricks (other than engineering bricks) will absorb moisture from the ground or continual condensation such that over decades the bricks will soften and loose strength.

Diagonal Cracks : Cracks that are the result of ground movement tend to be diagonal in nature with vertical cracks showing as hairline at the point of rotation and wider further away.

Limitations

• Brick walls are made from compressed earth and, therefore, are susceptible to water absorption.When bricks absorb water, they deteriorate more quickly than other materials that do not absorb as much water.
• Additionally, building brick walls can be very time consuming and expensive because each brick must be mortared and placed by hand

risk assesment

• There is a risk of droping bricks and breaking your toes so you should wear steel toe capped boots.
• There is a risk of morter getting in to your eyes. the lime in the morter can cause bildness so you need to wash out as soon as possible
• There is a risk of haveing a reachion with the lime in the morter so you should wear gloves when handleing

tast 1 replace concrete capping

Method Statement

first we makes sure that we have the correct equipment and the correct P.P.E ( gloves, goggles, etc). We first located which capping stones needed replacing. Once we found which ones need replacing we carefully removed it from the wall using a boaster and a hammar. Once all of the loose capping stone were removed we then scraped the exess morter into the bin. we then laid a corse of pug along the wall and place the capping stones on top. we then made sure that they were level along the wall and at a slight tilt of the wall so that the rain would run of. we then used a joining iron to make sure that all the rendering was up to standerd. we then cleaned the area where we worked.

Tool List

• Trowel
• Spirit level
• Lump hammer
• Bucket
• Bin
• Broom
• Joining iron
• Shovel

Materials

• sharp sand
• cement
• capping stone

Limitations

• Capping stone : The limitations of capping stones is that it is heavy and lasts for 25 years

• morta : The limitations of pud is that contains lime wich can damage your sight if it were to get into your eyes. An other limitation of morta is that it rapidly dries.

Defects

• The defects of capping stones is that over time they weather and they are heavy the defects

Risk Assesment

• There is a  risk of droping one of the capping stones ona foot so you should wear steel toe capped boots.   
• there is a risk of cutting your hands on the shap corners of the capping stone so you should wear gloves.
• there is a risk that some morta could get flicked and could go into somones eye so you should wear goggles. 
• there is a risk that somone could slip over if to much morta gos on the floor so you should maintain your work area.

task 3: replaceing broken tiles on roof

Method Sstatement

We first have to research what tiles are on the clients roof then buy the materials and tools we need. We have to make sure that we have the correct P.P.E (gloves, goggles, etc). We first put the ladder up so that we can retrieve the tiles. We retrieve the tile using the slate ripper to break the nails so that we could slide the tiles out. We then dispose of the broken tile. Then we get the new galvanised nails and the new roof tiles. we then place the new tile were the old one used to be. We then make sure that the tile is in line with the others, so that we can then attach the tile to the roof using the galvanised nails. we make sure that the galvanised nails are in the pre-drilled holes of the tile then hit the nails till flush with the tile. Once all the tile are attached we then clean up and put the tools away.

Risk Aassessment

• The risk of handling a broken tile is that small parts can splinter of and go into your eyes so you need goggles
• You should wear overalls to protect your legs from getting cut or any cuts that may get infected
• You will need to wear steel toe capped boots in case you were to drop on of the tile on you foot.
• if we were to use scaffold around the roof you will have to use a hard hat in case something was to drop on to your head. you would also need a cargonet to protect the public from falling debree

Defects

• nail fatigue -  nail fatigue is when the nails have rusted all the way though and you would have to replace the whole roof over wise the tile would start to fall of.
• weather - when sudden increases and decreases the temperature make the tile expand and contract. 
• people working on the roof - when people walk across the roof the tile may crack.

Limitations

•     The limitations of clay tiles is the weight of the individual tiles if the roof used to have them then it should be strong enough but if it has not you my need install extra support beam. Another of the limitation for clay roof tiles is the cost, It cost around £2.00 per tile.

•      The limitations of useing galvinised nails is that they last 25 years before they rust and you will have to replace the whole roof this is know as nail phattigue.

Tools and material

• slatte ripper
• clay tiles x 2
• hammah
• bin
• broom
• gavinised nails x 4
• dust pan and brush
