We are working to they health and safety act of 1974.

Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area where the stud walling will fit. We started to measure the length and the height of the room to give us a good estimate to cut our timber to a frame fitting. Then we transferred those measurements onto a timber and also took off 30mm from the length so that it will fit easily onto the width of the sides of the frame. We then marked out every 400mm for a vertical timber give it support and make it easier and stronger when plaster boarding. After put in noggins to support the frame and then start to fix all tougher in place and then made any last touches like to check plum and level and pack away (plus clearness).

Dear customer

We have inspected your area where you want a wall to be built for you to make a sprat room.

So we got the timber and other materials we need for fixing a stud wall together and then started to tack measurements and mark then on the timber.

After all the cuts have been done and marked correctly we fixed the frame with 3 1/2 inch masonry nails and then fitted in place and fixed strong.

And then finished any last touches and checked if plum, level and strong then packed away (plus clearance).

Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area of the wall and looked for any part to fill with polyfilla filler. So we got out a spot bored and put the powder on and mixed to a smooth and good mix and applied to wall putting not to much on wall but a good bit so it fills the small indents and then leave to dry for a few good hours depending on how it is. Then when we come back we lightly sanded it down with a 80p grana of sandpaper and then made any last touches and packed away (plus clearances).
