What to know locally in Cape Town
Small yards on the Cape Flats often run electric egg-laying machines on a home slab in Philippi, Delft or Khayelitsha. Winter rain is the risk: build a roof over the curing area or cover the rows, and never stack wet, soft bricks. Workshops in Epping and Montague Gardens can repair frames and rewind motors. Near the coast, keep machines under cover and rinse off salt after a shift.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Cape Town
Winter rain is what Cape Town brickmakers plan around. From May to August, cold fronts can soak fresh bricks for days, while the summer south-easter dries them too fast, so yards cover rows in both seasons. Cement blocks and maxi bricks dominate, building new rooms and backyard units in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Delft and Gugulethu, while face brick and stock bricks go into homes and complexes in the northern and southern suburbs. Block yards and stores cluster in Epping, Montague Gardens and Philippi, sand comes from the Cape Flats and pits around the city, and salt air on the Atlantic seaboard and False Bay coast causes efflorescence on face brick.
Who asks for concrete mixers around Cape Town, most often first:
- Homeowners: a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a 350 litre site mixer for foundations, mortar and slabs on every job
- Housing developers and complexes: several mixers or a pan mixer for housing phases and on-site block making
