Supplies & services in Brits: local notes
Bricklayers in Brits travel to farms and to Hartbeespoort, often quoting per square metre. River and pit sand come by tipper from around the Crocodile River and the district. Paving contractors are busy around the dam with driveways and patios. Fire bricks go into braais and pizza ovens at holiday homes, and repairers service yard machines in the industrial area.
Brits: the building, the weather and the yards
Irrigated farmland, a busy industrial area and the holiday homes of Hartbeespoort give Brits a mixed building trade. Farmers along the canals need sheds, packhouses and staff housing in blocks, while factories add workshops and stores. In Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie families build and extend in cement bricks, and small brick yards sell straight off the slab. Around the dam, owners of weekend houses in Schoemansville and the estates order face bricks, paving and retaining walls for sloping plots. Block yards and machine sellers in the Brits industrial area serve the whole district. Summers are hot, with heavy afternoon storms, and the dry winters bring frost to the low ground near the Crocodile River.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Homeowners: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
- Farms and smallholdings: glass blocks to light a farm store, dairy or passage without a window
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: glass block panels built into bathrooms and stairwells on new houses
