Alberton notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers in Alberton handle ridge stands in Meyersdal where foundations step and retaining walls need drainage. Paving contractors lay driveways in Brackenhurst and Randhart and factory yards in Alrode. Sand comes by tipper from pits south of the area. Machine repairers in Alrode rebuild worn moulds, swap vibrator motors and supply spares, and fire bricks for furnaces come up in the industrial areas.
Alberton: the building, the weather and the yards
Alrode's factories and yards sit a short drive from almost every stand in Alberton, which makes this one of the easier towns to source blocks and machines. Housing is a mix: estates on the slopes of Meyersdal and the Klipriviersberg ridge, family homes in Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and New Redruth, and growing extension work in Thokoza and Palm Ridge. Estate homes favour face brick and high plastered walls, while Thokoza families add rooms and rental units in cement bricks. Rocky ridge stands in Meyersdal often need retaining walls and careful foundations. Summer storms here are heavy and run off the ridge quickly, and winter mornings bring frost to the low ground near the Natalspruit.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a tipper of building sand and a load of plaster sand for an extension
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular sand deliveries to several sites, mortar and plaster sand kept apart
- Brickyards and block yards: steady tipper loads of crusher and river sand to keep the machines running
