Welkom notes on bricks & blocks
Thabong families build and extend in cement maxi bricks and blocks, often from a yard down the road. Riebeeckstad and the older Welkom suburbs add face brick garages and boundary walls. Farmers near Hennenman and Odendaalsrus use hollow blocks for sheds and stores. Ask for the strength of cheap bricks, since quality varies a lot between small yards.
Building with brick in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
Typical clay bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: clay stock bricks for a plastered house, garage or room addition
- New brick-making businesses: resellers buying clay bricks by the truck load for local builders
- Brickyards and block yards: clay yards selling stock, semi face and face bricks from each firing
