The Risk Assessment

The risk of reaping cement roofing

       Falling from height
       Slipping of roof
       Falling objects

Everybody has to wear correct ppe. We put up netting to stop falls and objects from falling and put the first set of scaffolding boards to a floor to protect the general public. Will be working to the working at height regulutions 2005, (HSE) and they health and safety act of 1974.



Method statement

Before we start on your roof repair we need to put our correct PPE on to keep safe and put up any protection to your house if need and access the area . Then the scaffolding shall be put up for it to be easy to get to your roof.  After we shall be moving all materials up to roof so makes less mess and keeps it tidy around out side for you. We should get the skip
delivered on time to use. Then we shall rip all tiles out and keep the non-damaged ones and put them back with the same cement tiles we got and moved up on the roof. Then start to put in the galvanised nails after all that is done and we checked that they are all okay then we will finish the last touches that need to be done plus clearance.

  1. Not sure what you meant regarding the last point on material defects. Tiles are made out of concrete, cement is a binder that is used in concret.concrete tiles are subjected to extreme cold and hot weather which slowly weakens them causing them to break. The rest of the blog is fine but please read through for grammer. Well done explains what you would do to repair a nail fatigue roof.

  2. Great post! This will be a very helpful information to those who want to fix their house roofing themselves. I agree with the list of your common roofing defects. These issues can actually be prevented, or at least prevent it from happening too soon, by doing a regular inspection and maintenance. Thank you for sharing this information!
