Supplies & services in Western Cape: local notes
Bricklaying teams across the metro quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors are busy on driveways in Bellville, Durbanville and Somerset West. Building and plaster sand come by tipper from pits on the Cape Flats and around Malmesbury. Fire bricks go into braais and wood ovens on wine farms near Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, and mobile repairers cover the metro and Boland.
Building with brick in Western Cape
Winter rain, not frost, is the main enemy of fresh bricks in the Western Cape. From May to August, curing rows in the Cape Flats and Winelands need covering, and bricklayers plan around wet weeks. The metro builds everywhere at once: backyard rooms in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Delft, complexes in Parklands, Kraaifontein and Somerset West, and alterations to Victorian homes in the Southern Suburbs. Sand has long come from the Philippi area and the dunes of the Cape Flats, and clay brickyards work the shale belt north of the city. Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester and George add wine farms, student housing and Garden Route homes, and the south easter carries salt spray well inland.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually 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
- Housing developers and complexes: large phased orders of one brick for a complex or a housing estate
Local tips for Western Cape
Yards and suppliers serving Western Cape mostly work from here: yards on the Cape Flats and northern edge of the metro; trades in the Winelands and George. The requests that come up most: cement blocks for backyard rooms, clay face brick for complexes and alterations. When you ask for quotes, in winter, ask how the yard covers its stock and whether bricks arrive dry.
Brick Suppliers usually suit houses, boundary walls, extensions, paving, made or supplied like this: strapped pallets by crane truck or loose. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall. On the weather side: wet winters soak curing bricks; south easter salt and wind dry them in summer.
