Kimberley notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers in Kimberley quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid and travel to Barkly West and Ritchie. Sand comes from local pits and the Vaal and Modder river areas, so check the grade. Fire bricks are asked for on braais and furnaces. Repairers are fewer than in the big cities, so keep spare bearings and liners at hand.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Kimberley
Distance is the first thing to plan for when building in Kimberley. The diamond city is far from the big brick and machine makers, so face bricks, specialist blocks and new machines often arrive by long-haul truck, and delivery is a large part of the price. Locally, cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan sell maxi bricks and blocks for family homes and rooms, and block yards in town supply builders. Older suburbs keep clay brick houses from the mining years, and owners extending them want a close match. Summers are very hot and dry, so fresh bricks need shade, water and plastic, and winter nights bring frost. Sand is mostly from local pits and the rivers.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: fire bricks for a garden pizza oven, a built-in braai or a fireplace
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: fire brick linings for fireplaces and braai areas in new houses
