Bricks & blocks in Gauteng: local notes
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.
Building with brick 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: 140 mm hollow blocks for a boundary wall, garage or back room
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: block walls on outbuildings and houses that go up in fewer courses
- Housing developers and complexes: hollow blocks for estate perimeter walls and complex boundary walls
Local tips for Gauteng
Common here: cement maxi bricks for back rooms, face brick for estates, brick machines for startups. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the price is at the yard or delivered, and who offloads the pallets. Where they work from: block yards in every township; clay yards and machine sellers in the industrial belts.
Requests range widely: 390 x 190 mm face, 90, 140 or 190 mm wide. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for 140 mm hollow blocks for a boundary wall, garage or back room. One local point to raise: yards deliver by flatbed and crane truck; sand by tipper from pits outside the metros.
