Supplies & services in Johannesburg: local notes
Bricklayers in Soweto and Eldorado Park usually quote per 1,000 bricks laid or per room, and many bring their own mixer. Sand comes by tipper from pits south of the city, so ask whether the price is for plaster sand or building sand and whether it is a full 6 m³ load. Paving contractors work steadily in Diepkloof and Pimville on driveways, and repairers in Booysens rebuild worn moulds and motors.
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.
Typical brick suppliers requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard buying in face bricks or pavers to sell beside its own cement bricks
