Bricks & blocks in Ladysmith: local notes
Ezakheni and Steadville mostly build in hollow cement blocks and maxi bricks for houses, rooms and walls. Farms out towards Colenso and Elandslaagte use blocks for sheds, stores and staff houses, and stock bricks where walls will be plastered. In the older town, extending a face brick house means matching the colour, so take a sample brick to the yard first and order the whole job at once.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Ladysmith
Below the Drakensberg foothills, Ladysmith builds a lot with cement blocks. Ezakheni and Steadville keep growing with new houses, rooms and boundary walls, farms in the Klip River district need sheds, stores and staff housing, and older homes in town are often face brick. Summers are hot with heavy afternoon storms, and winters bring sharp frost, so bricks made on an open slab need cover in both seasons. Water and good sand are worth planning for on rural plots. Block yards and hardware stores in town and the industrial area supply most jobs, small yards in the townships make blocks for neighbours, and machines usually come up the N3.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Homeowners: clay stock bricks for a plastered house, garage or room addition
- Farms and smallholdings: clay brick farmhouses, sheds and kraal walls that handle damp well
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: full truck loads of clay stock bricks booked ahead for each house
