Johannesburg notes on machines & equipment
Many small brick businesses in Soweto, Orange Farm and Lenasia started with an egg-laying machine on a slab behind a house, selling to the street and to builders nearby. Single phase electric machines suit a residential stand; a three phase static machine needs a bigger yard, like the light industrial stands around Booysens and Crown Mines. Second hand machines change hands often in the city, so check the mould for wear and the vibrator motor before you pay.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Johannesburg
Soweto sets the pace for brick demand in Johannesburg. Across Orlando, Diepkloof, Meadowlands and Protea Glen, families add backyard rooms, second storeys and boundary walls one pallet at a time, and small block yards on open stands make cement bricks to order for the street. Further north, older suburbs like Melville, Westdene and Kensington call for matching red face brick when a stoep is closed in or a garage is added. Along the Main Reef Road and in Booysens and City Deep, yards and hardware stores sit near the old mine dumps, close to most of the city. Highveld winters bring frost on still mornings, so fresh cement bricks need covering, and summer storms can wash out a slab of uncured bricks in minutes.
Who asks for concrete mixers around Johannesburg, 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
- Brickyards and block yards: a pan mixer to keep a static machine supplied with an even, dry mix
Local tips for Johannesburg
Common here: cement maxi bricks for backyard rooms, face brick to match older suburbs. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask the yard whether the bricks were cured a full week before they left the slab. Where they work from: block yards in Soweto, yards and hardware stores along Main Reef Road and in Booysens.
Requests range widely: about 120 to 350 litre site drums. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall. One local point to raise: yards spread through the city; tippers bring sand from pits south and west of town.
