Bricks & blocks in Pretoria: local notes
Soshanguve, Mabopane and Hammanskraal use a lot of cement maxi bricks and 140 mm hollow blocks for extensions and rental rooms. In Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Menlo Park the work is renovation, where face brick has to match an older house, and complexes in Montana and Pretoria East order face brick by the truckload. Retaining blocks are common on the sloping stands around Moreleta Park and Faerie Glen, where gardens step down the ridges.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Pretoria
From Mamelodi in the east to Atteridgeville in the west and Soshanguve in the north, Pretoria's townships keep a large share of the city's bricklayers busy with extensions, double storeys and RDP houses being enlarged. The eastern side tells a different story: estates and complexes around Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Pretoria East use face brick and plastered maxi brick for security villages and townhouses. Block yards cluster in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton, while many township stands run a small machine of their own. Winters are cold and dry with frost in the low parts of the city, and summer brings heavy afternoon storms, so bricks curing in the open need plastic sheeting and a slab with good fall.
Who asks for clay bricks around Pretoria, most often first:
- Homeowners: clay stock bricks for a plastered house, garage or room addition
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: full truck loads of clay stock bricks booked ahead for each house
- Housing developers and complexes: large clay brick orders from one yard so a whole phase matches

The requests that come up most: maxi bricks and blocks for township extensions, face brick for eastern estates. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the quote includes offloading, since many township streets are narrow.
