Klerksdorp notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers in Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid. Sand comes by tipper from pits around the Vaal and Schoonspruit areas, so ask which grade suits mortar or plaster. Fire bricks are used for braais and small kilns. Repairers rebuild worn moulds and replace motors for township yards.
Klerksdorp: the building, the weather and the yards
Gold built Klerksdorp and its neighbours Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mine houses, hostels and old brick suburbs still show it. Today the work is mostly homes and extensions: family houses in Flamwood and Wilkoppies, self-built and RDP houses in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, and shops and rooms along the main routes. Cement brick yards are spread through the townships, and block yards in the industrial area supply builders and farmers in the maize country around Hartbeesfontein. Some older suburbs were built with clay bricks from the district, so matching them on an extension takes a search. Dry, cold winters bring frost and hot summers bring storms, so new bricks need cover all year.
Typical building sand requests in the area 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
