I just paid him, thought it looks alright. Then my fencer came and tried to set up the racking for sliding gate, it is not level! It has 100mm difference. Now the concreter said nothing wrong and no need to fix, he should know it need to be leveled as the fencer did tell him on the phone prior to start. That's just bad and not gonna go with this concreter anymore! What else I could do now ? Re: concreter refused to fix uneven font concrete 2Sep 10, 2021 10:43 pm Unfortunately your photo doesn't show anything. All external concrete has to have fall and depending on levels it's pretty standard. Cross fall isn't so good but even that can't be helped at times. Usually the gate track is installed before the concrete is poured and the concreter then works to that level. For something as critical as sliding gate tracks it's always a good idea to have a site meeting with the concreter and gate company so everyone is aware of what can and can't be done.

You are the builder and the contractor works for you Who has given drawings and specification to the contractor, who has instructed and checked levels before concreting? Get the gist?
