Supplies & services in Cape Town: local notes
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.
Who asks for brick suppliers around Cape Town, most often first:
- Homeowners: one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular pallets of stock bricks and blocks delivered to several sites a month
- Housing developers and complexes: large phased orders of one brick for a complex or a housing estate
