Gauteng notes on bricks & blocks
Back rooms and second storeys in Soweto, Alexandra and Mamelodi are mostly built in cement maxi bricks, plastered and painted. Estates in Midrand, Pretoria East and Fourways lean towards clay face brick, so order the whole job from one batch to keep the colour even. Boundary walls along Tembisa and Katlehong streets often use hollow blocks, and retaining blocks hold up stepped gardens on the Northcliff and Linksfield ridges.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Gauteng
Johannesburg started out with a brickfields of its own, and the province has never stopped building. Today the demand is spread across township extensions in Soshanguve, Tembisa and Diepsloot, back rooms and boundary walls in Soweto and Mamelodi, estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Lanseria, and factories from Germiston to Rosslyn. Cement brick and block yards sit on the edge of nearly every township, many of them small businesses running an egg-laying machine on a home slab, while clay brickyards and machine sellers work from the industrial belts. Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: cement bricks for an extension, a garage or a plastered boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: bulk cement stock bricks from a nearby yard to cut transport costs
