What to know locally in Johannesburg
Many small brick businesses in Soweto, Orange Farm and Lenasia started with an egg-laying machine on a slab behind a house, selling to the street and to builders nearby. Single phase electric machines suit a residential stand; a three phase static machine needs a bigger yard, like the light industrial stands around Booysens and Crown Mines. Second hand machines change hands often in the city, so check the mould for wear and the vibrator motor before you pay.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Johannesburg
Soweto sets the pace for brick demand in Johannesburg. Across Orlando, Diepkloof, Meadowlands and Protea Glen, families add backyard rooms, second storeys and boundary walls one pallet at a time, and small block yards on open stands make cement bricks to order for the street. Further north, older suburbs like Melville, Westdene and Kensington call for matching red face brick when a stoep is closed in or a garage is added. Along the Main Reef Road and in Booysens and City Deep, yards and hardware stores sit near the old mine dumps, close to most of the city. Highveld winters bring frost on still mornings, so fresh cement bricks need covering, and summer storms can wash out a slab of uncured bricks in minutes.
Who asks for brick making plants around Johannesburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
- Brickyards and block yards: moving from single machines to an automated line to meet bigger orders
Local tips for Johannesburg
Yards and suppliers serving Johannesburg mostly work from here: block yards in Soweto, yards and hardware stores along Main Reef Road and in Booysens. The requests that come up most: cement maxi bricks for backyard rooms, face brick to match older suburbs. When you ask for quotes, ask the yard whether the bricks were cured a full week before they left the slab.
Brick Making Plants usually suit established yards, developers and investors, made or supplied like this: batcher, pan mixer, press, conveyor, stacker. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from. On the weather side: frost on winter mornings and hard summer storms; cover fresh bricks for the first week.
