Bricks & blocks in Worcester: local notes
Farms in the Hex River valley and around Rawsonville use cement blocks for packsheds, cold rooms and staff houses, and face brick where the owner wants a neat finish. Zwelethemba and Avian Park mostly use plastered maxi bricks and blocks. In the older town, face brick homes need colour matched from one batch. Ask about retaining blocks for terraces on sloping farm ground.
Worcester: the building, the weather and the yards
Out in the Breede River valley, Worcester builds for farms and a growing town. Grape, fruit and wine farms around Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River valley need packsheds, stores, staff housing and boundary walls, many in cement blocks. Zwelethemba and Avian Park keep extending with blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick and plastered homes. The valley is very hot in summer and cold in winter, with frost on clear nights, so fresh bricks need shade and water in January and cover in July. Block yards and hardware stores sit in the industrial area, sand comes from the valley, and deliveries reach the farms by truck.
Typical concrete blocks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: block walls for sheds, pump houses, feed stores and dairy buildings
- 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
