We wear correct PPE. To prevent these risks from happening. To stop plaster from getting in open wounded’s cover up or keep its free form touching plaster. Then to stop hearting of neck don’t bend if to much back to stop blood getting all over body try tack a few rests of neck and to stop falling of hop up or other objects be carful and find a better why of keeping safe on plat forms. We also worked to the Health and Safety Act 1974.



Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the room were we got all the floor coved and protected to start making plaster and to work. We got are tool out and started skrim and pva ceiling. Then started mix up a batch of plaster, we put 2/4 of the water in the mixing bucket and then started to mix with the plaster will a good thick and smooth mix but not to thick as it will make it hard to work with. After we applied to ceiling got rid of left over and clean for the next coat and then what will be last 1 ready for polishing to a smooth finish. Then after all the check for any last touches and pack away (plus clearances).

Dear customer


We have inspected your ceiling and found you have cracks that were coursed by movement on the ceiling so we shall re-plaster it, to carry out the repairs we will.

 Protect floors, pva and skrim the cracks on ceiling. 

Then we shall mix up plaster and applied to the area.

Get rid of leftover plaster and mix a last coat for a finish and polish on ceiling.

  1. Well done for completing the blog. In your tool list you have missed mixing equipment.

    In material defects and limitations I expected to see used by dates.

    Your method statement needs to flow more.

    Good pictures of work carried out.
