Supplies & services in Pretoria: local notes
Bricklayers from Mamelodi and Atteridgeville work right across the city and quote per m² or per 1,000 bricks laid. Sand comes by tipper from pits to the north and west, so ask for plaster and building sand separately. Paving contractors are busy in Pretoria East estates and on township driveways. Fire bricks for braai and pizza ovens are asked for in Lynnwood and Garsfontein, and repairers in Pretoria West fix motors and moulds.
Building with brick in Pretoria
From Mamelodi in the east to Atteridgeville in the west and Soshanguve in the north, Pretoria's townships keep a large share of the city's bricklayers busy with extensions, double storeys and RDP houses being enlarged. The eastern side tells a different story: estates and complexes around Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Pretoria East use face brick and plastered maxi brick for security villages and townhouses. Block yards cluster in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton, while many township stands run a small machine of their own. Winters are cold and dry with frost in the low parts of the city, and summer brings heavy afternoon storms, so bricks curing in the open need plastic sheeting and a slab with good fall.
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
- Housing developers and complexes: bricklaying crews quoted per unit across a phase of townhouses or RDP houses
Local tips for Pretoria
Yards and suppliers serving Pretoria mostly work from here: block yards in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton; small yards in the townships. The requests that come up most: maxi bricks and blocks for township extensions, face brick for eastern estates. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the quote includes offloading, since many township streets are narrow.
Requests range widely: per m², per 1,000 bricks laid or per day. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back. One local point to raise: yards on the edges of the city; sand by tipper from pits north and west of Pretoria.
