     6.  Method  statement of the ways to remove defective fencing and repairing it.
     
       We first put our Ppe on ,then we swiftly move on to the site .when we reach the site we first have a look at the area and see how much  damaged is the area , in-order to know what we are dealing with .If the fencing is damage was caused by wood rot or fungi we first need to saturate the damaged area using wood preservative which contains the rot .After determining the area and the extent we need to repair ,we then remove the damaged area nicely .We then measure the area that is left blank ,then we start to measure the length of the wooden Aries rails we need ,we cut the rails to the given size then we measure the diameter of the holes that is on our standing posts .The ends of the rails should be chiselled in a way that they can fit into the fence post ,one end  for the rail should be short so that we can fit one end inside and then the other .We then move our timber into one end of the fence ,if it fits into the post living a short space on the other end ,then we can swiftly push it out whilst pushing  the other end into the other post until both ends are  in the middle .  After placing the rail in place ,we then level the rail and also test if it is strong enough to bear any load to do this one can site on the rails if they are placed correctly they won't break they will bear the load .If all this passes ,we tied up the work place and pack away our tools .

  Dear Customer 

  We had to repair your fence which had dismantle into certain parts because of rot decay,
                                 
        we had to remove a certain area in-order for us to repair your fence .
       
        We firstly removed the defected area then we took measurements of the area which needed
     
         repair ,we had cut our aisle rolls and the chiselled  them on both ends in a way that they                   

  could fit into both ends of the fence .We then had to fit one end into the post then swiftly      
 i
        move  the other end whilst dragging the far end inorder for both ends to be in the middle

   and to  balance the rail on both ends . We then tested the rails if they could bear load onto 
      
       them and withstand heavy load and they did not break which shows both ends  are  strong .

    We then finished of by installing the timber boards to the rails using your chosen design  
      
       then we had to clean away and pack up.
