Supplies & services in Upington: local notes
Bricklayers in Upington work across the river towns, quoting per square metre or per day, and summer jobs often start at first light. River sand is easy to find, so ask for the right grade for mortar or plaster. Fire bricks go into braais and cellar boilers. Repair help is limited, so keep spare liners and bearings on site.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Upington
On the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, Upington builds in fierce heat. Fresh cement bricks can dry out within hours on a summer slab, so local yards make early, cover with plastic and keep the rows wet. The green strip of vineyards from Kakamas to Keimoes needs packsheds, cellars and workers' housing, and Paballelo and the town suburbs add homes, rooms and boundary walls. Brickyards and block yards in town serve the river settlements, but face bricks and machines usually come from far away by long-haul truck. River sand is close at hand. Winter days are mild, though clear nights can still bring frost.
Typical brick suppliers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall
- Farms and smallholdings: bricks and blocks trucked out to a farm for stores, staff houses and kraals
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular pallets of stock bricks and blocks delivered to several sites a month
