What to know locally in Germiston
Bricklayers from Katlehong and Tokoza work right across the East Rand, quoting per m² or per 1,000 bricks laid. Paving contractors do factory yards in Isando and driveways in Primrose. Fire bricks for industrial furnaces and boilers are asked for in Wadeville and Germiston South, laid with refractory mortar. Machine repairers here rebuild moulds, replace vibrator motors and sell bearings and tampers.
Building with brick in Germiston
Germiston is an industrial town first, and its brick work follows that: factory walls, warehouse extensions and boundary walls in Wadeville, Isando, Elandsfontein and Germiston South, often in 190 mm hollow blocks. The residential side is varied. Older homes in Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie get extensions in face brick, Bedfordview villas get high boundary walls, and Katlehong and Tokoza, to the south, build backyard rooms and double storeys in cement bricks. Block yards, machine suppliers and spares sellers cluster in the industrial areas, so the town is a convenient place to buy a machine or mould. Germiston Lake and the low ground nearby collect cold air in winter, so expect frost on fresh brickwork.
Typical bricklayers requests in the area come from:
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard pointing its customers to bricklayers who know how its bricks lay
