Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made way to the area of work and started to tack the readings from they point to point so were they lead will fit in to the pug joints and sit. Then got a bit of lining paper to mark they points on and made it to fit then used to transfer it to they lead and fit in place. Then check if all is good and well finished (plus clearance).

Dear customer

We have inspected the lead flashing on roof and it has split so we need to replace it.

We first got lead and made way to house were we assembled a mobile tower to get to they area were the lead has split.

Started to rip out existing lead and then cut it to size and left a lip to put back in place and put back strong in place.

Sealed up any gapes then finished of work and pack away (plus clearness).
