What to know locally in Cape Town
Bricklayers and paving contractors are spread across the metro, from boundary walls in Mitchells Plain to driveways in Durbanville and Constantia. Cape Flats sand is plentiful, but it is often fine and needs care in mortar and bricks, so ask the yard which sand suits which job. Fire bricks for braais, pizza ovens and fireplaces are easy to find, and glass blocks appear in older Atlantic seaboard flats.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Cape Town
Winter rain is what Cape Town brickmakers plan around. From May to August, cold fronts can soak fresh bricks for days, while the summer south-easter dries them too fast, so yards cover rows in both seasons. Cement blocks and maxi bricks dominate, building new rooms and backyard units in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Delft and Gugulethu, while face brick and stock bricks go into homes and complexes in the northern and southern suburbs. Block yards and stores cluster in Epping, Montague Gardens and Philippi, sand comes from the Cape Flats and pits around the city, and salt air on the Atlantic seaboard and False Bay coast causes efflorescence on face brick.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners: a homeowner fixing a small manual machine bought for one building project
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a builder with a site brick machine needing a quick motor swap mid job
- Housing developers and complexes: an on-site block plant for a housing project kept running with planned servicing
