Ladysmith notes on bricks & blocks
Ezakheni and Steadville mostly build in hollow cement blocks and maxi bricks for houses, rooms and walls. Farms out towards Colenso and Elandslaagte use blocks for sheds, stores and staff houses, and stock bricks where walls will be plastered. In the older town, extending a face brick house means matching the colour, so take a sample brick to the yard first and order the whole job at once.
Ladysmith: the building, the weather and the yards
Below the Drakensberg foothills, Ladysmith builds a lot with cement blocks. Ezakheni and Steadville keep growing with new houses, rooms and boundary walls, farms in the Klip River district need sheds, stores and staff housing, and older homes in town are often face brick. Summers are hot with heavy afternoon storms, and winters bring sharp frost, so bricks made on an open slab need cover in both seasons. Water and good sand are worth planning for on rural plots. Block yards and hardware stores in town and the industrial area supply most jobs, small yards in the townships make blocks for neighbours, and machines usually come up the N3.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- Farms and smallholdings: a face brick farmhouse, office or store that stays tidy without paint
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
