Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area of were we shall be installing the posts to replace old posts you had on your fence. Then dug out the soil and made it 500mm deep so the posts will hold in place better. After it was all dug out and made hole wider with a crowbar and then we plumed the posts in hole and  then pored in the postcrete  per hole and add water and mix well will a good consistency and put soil back on top so it looks it was never there and then started to finish any last touches and packed away (plus clearance).

Dear customer

We have inspected fence posts and found the posts were losses and moved around too much so we shall replace the hole and make it stronger.

So we first tock off fence panels and riles then removed post form hole and kept a safe area and tidy work place.

Them we started to dig out existing postcrete and then started to make the same hole which was 500m deep.

 Then put the bag of postcrete in and tipped a bit of water will good mix and fill back up with soil and leave to set.

After put all parts back together and then we checked everything was up to standard we then pack away (plus clearance).
