Supplies & services in Randburg: local notes
Bricklayers in Randburg suburbs do many small jobs: a garage, a room, a raised wall. Paving contractors redo driveways in Bordeaux and Blairgowrie, and landscapers build retaining walls on Northcliff and Linden slopes, where drainage behind the wall is vital. Fire bricks are asked for in braai areas around Ferndale. Machine repairers and spares sellers sit in the Strijdom Park and Kya Sand industrial areas.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Randburg
Randburg is mostly settled suburbs, so brick work here leans to renovation and repair rather than new houses. Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Bordeaux have face brick homes from the 1960s and 1970s being opened up and extended, Linden and Northcliff have steep stands that need retaining walls, and the townhouse complexes off Malibongwe Drive and Hans Strijdom Drive replace and raise boundary walls. Strijdom Park and the industrial stands toward Kya Sand hold hardware stores and block yards, and Cosmo City to the north west keeps builders busy with rooms and extensions. Rocky ridges mean shallow soil on some stands, and summer storms run hard down the Northcliff slopes, so drainage behind walls matters.
The requests we see from Randburg 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
- Landscapers and paving teams: bedding and joint sand for paving and mortar sand for garden walls
