Supplies & services in Worcester: local notes
Bricklayers and builders in Worcester often work on farms, quoting per day or per building as well as per m². Paving contractors lay farm yards and town driveways. Sand comes by tipper from the valley, and quality varies, so ask for a clean, washed load for bricks and mortar. Fire bricks suit braais and fireplaces through the cold winters. Repairs are done locally or in Cape Town.
Worcester: the building, the weather and the yards
Out in the Breede River valley, Worcester builds for farms and a growing town. Grape, fruit and wine farms around Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River valley need packsheds, stores, staff housing and boundary walls, many in cement blocks. Zwelethemba and Avian Park keep extending with blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick and plastered homes. The valley is very hot in summer and cold in winter, with frost on clear nights, so fresh bricks need shade and water in January and cover in July. Block yards and hardware stores sit in the industrial area, sand comes from the valley, and deliveries reach the farms by truck.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: sand trucked to a farm for staff houses, dam walls and concrete floors
- 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
