  1. Well done for com pleting blog. how ever the method statement needs some work. The method statement should instruct a person the way in which to carry out the work safley, Like a step by step instruction. unfortunately yours has left one of the most important things out isolating/ turning of the water supply to the cistern. Remember I should be able to collect together the tools, materials you list and follow your method statement on how to carry out the work.
