Machines & equipment in Germiston: local notes
Germiston's industrial areas are among the easier places in Gauteng to see machines before you buy, with suppliers and spares sellers in Wadeville, Germiston South and Isando. Katlehong and Tokoza have many small yards running egg-laying machines. If you want a small plant with a pan mixer, a three phase industrial stand in Wadeville or Elandsfontein is a good fit. Ask for a demonstration with your mould.
Germiston: the building, the weather and the yards
Germiston is an industrial town first, and its brick work follows that: factory walls, warehouse extensions and boundary walls in Wadeville, Isando, Elandsfontein and Germiston South, often in 190 mm hollow blocks. The residential side is varied. Older homes in Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie get extensions in face brick, Bedfordview villas get high boundary walls, and Katlehong and Tokoza, to the south, build backyard rooms and double storeys in cement bricks. Block yards, machine suppliers and spares sellers cluster in the industrial areas, so the town is a convenient place to buy a machine or mould. Germiston Lake and the low ground nearby collect cold air in winter, so expect frost on fresh brickwork.
The requests we see from Germiston usually come from:
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- Brickyards and block yards: adding hollow blocks to a brick range so builders buy everything in one place
