Leveling 110mm circular section of concrete (after it's set) for light fixing.

AndyJay2019 · 22 Mar 2024

Hi all - bit of an odd question I guess but i'm installing garden bollard lights in the garden and i've laid the 6 small sections of concrete I want the lights to be fixed to.
To make sure the lights are perfectly straight vertically, I need to ensure the concrete is level (110mm circular).
I'm trying to find a tool that could do this.
Ideally, it would be a grinder of some sort that can fit on to a drill.
Andy Ideas please?
Many Thanks in advance
Andy

I have used this and it works very well but its for a angle grinder

But I would just adjust the vertical with a good mastic at the base something like CT-1 comes in colours so you should find a match. Grinding it you may end up making it worse if it is not already flat from gravity when you put it down

I agree with above, but you could use shims or washers under the base, then seal the gap with silicone as an alternative (unless they are really off level)

Level the lights not the base.

Shims/packing, plastic or metal and then cement grout or mastic.

Thanks guys - I won't be able to get an angle grinder to it, there's not enough room.
I thought about shims too, but i've got the adjust the height of one or two of the concrete bases.
If I could find a grinder bit that would fit a drill I think that would do the trick.
Finding one is the problem though.

This is only 40mm but might do the trick. What do you think?
