What to know locally in Sandton
Sandton is not a place to run a brick machine on your stand, but Alexandra and the light industrial areas of Marlboro and Wynberg have small yards making cement bricks and blocks for the area. If you want to start one, a single phase egg-laying machine fits a small yard; ask about the slab, water and cement storage. Second hand machines and moulds often come up when yards move.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Sandton
Two very different building markets sit side by side in Sandton. In Bryanston, Morningside, Hyde Park and Rivonia, the brick work is renovation: a face brick wing added to a 1970s house, a higher boundary wall, a pool house, or a stoep closed in with matching brick. In Alexandra, across the M1, families build backyard rooms and extra storeys on small stands, mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks carried in on narrow streets. Tower cranes around the Sandton CBD use blocks by the truckload. Few yards sit in Sandton itself, so deliveries come from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kya Sand. Frost is light here but summer hailstorms can damage uncovered pallets.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
- Housing developers and complexes: a static block machine supplying blocks for estate walls and housing phases
