replacing wash basin

The common defects

one of the common defects is over time the taps can seaze up and you will be unable to turn on and off you have to get the taps replaced to resolve that problem.

Materials

• taps
• wash basin
• flexible pipe
• tap connector

limitations

one of the limitations of the taps is that they need to be tightened before the sink is fitted to the wall other wise they become very difficult to tighten up because there is a lot of stuff in the way.
 

Tools

• ajustable spanner
• mole grips
• gloves
• steel toe capped boots

risk assessment

the is a risk of someone slipping so to reduce this risk we will keep mopping up any water and we shall make sure that people are aware that there is a hazard by putting up signs.

there is a risk of someone tripping over any materials left on the floor so to prevent this from happening we shall maintain our work area and make sure that any rubbish is disposed of.

method statement

The first thing we have to do is to view the property and determent 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 client is happy we will then proceed with the work.the first thing we done was to make sure the water is off.we will then fit the taps we do this by putting the sealing washer on first then we positioned the tap and put the backnut on to secure it in place. we tightened it up using a ajutable spanner. once the taps were secured we then attached the plug by making sure the rubber seal is n then putting the threaded part though the hole in the basin and then tightening it up with the backnut and a adjustable spanner. once the plug was attached we then fixed the basin to the wall and tided up.
