Pinetown notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers here are used to stepped foundations and walls on sloping sites, so ask for experience with retaining walls when you request quotes. Paving contractors lay driveways in Kloof, Hillcrest and Westville, often on steep falls that need careful drainage and firm edges. Building and plaster sand are delivered by tipper from inland pits. For a fireplace or braai, fire bricks and fireclay are sold through hardware stores in central Pinetown.
Pinetown: the building, the weather and the yards
Steep ground shapes most building jobs in Pinetown. Plots climbing towards Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest often need retaining walls before a house or extension can go up, while KwaDabeka, Clermont and St Wendolins keep a steady demand for cement blocks and maxi bricks for new rooms and boundary walls. The industrial areas of New Germany and Westmead hold block yards, hardware stores and engineering workshops that sell and fix mixers and brick machines. Being inland of Durban helps a little with salt, but mist on the ridges and heavy summer rain keep fresh bricks damp for days, and runoff on slopes can undercut curing slabs. Deliveries up narrow, winding roads often need a smaller truck.
Typical bricklayers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
- Landscapers and paving teams: a bricklayer for planter walls, braai areas and garden walls beside new paving
