Fair Go: Serial concrete cowboy Gordon Bayne still ripping people off

Gordon Bayne has left a trail of misery for over a decade, promising much, taking the money, and delivering very little.

For over a decade Fair Go has reported on the botched jobs of concrete cowboy and serial liar Gordon Bayne. For over a decade, he has sworn that he will mend his ways, but then – Fair Go hears about a new batch of victims.

His modus operandi is to quote low, take a large deposit, do a minimal amount of work, then not return to the job and be impossible to get hold of.

So how do you go about getting a good concrete job? It’s basically about doing your research, taking heed of all the warning signs, and not being driven entirely by price.

A cheap job will turn out to be exactly that – a job where the contractor is skimping on something – preparation, materials, expertise etc.

And use a professional – like the members of the Concrete Contractors Association who have a code of ethics, a code of conduct, guarantee their work and – really really want to get rid of the concrete cowboys.
