Newcastle notes on bricks & blocks
Madadeni and Osizweni build mostly with cement maxi bricks and hollow blocks for new rooms, houses and walls, often plastered later. The older suburbs such as Arbor Park and Hutten Heights have many face brick houses, so match the colour from one batch. Farm buildings around Utrecht and Dannhauser use blocks and stock bricks. Ask yards for the strength of the units before you buy.
Newcastle: the building, the weather and the yards
Coal and steel country in northern KwaZulu-Natal has a long history of brickmaking, and Newcastle sits right in it. Madadeni and Osizweni grow by the street, with new rooms, family houses and boundary walls built in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has many face brick homes. The town gets cold, frosty winters and hard summer thunderstorms, so fresh cement bricks need covering in both seasons. Block yards, hardware stores and small backyard brickmakers supply most jobs, and engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair machines. Deliveries to farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser take a little longer, so plan loads ahead and check the farm road.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
- Brickyards and block yards: clay yards grading each firing into face, semi face and stock bricks
