Worcester notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers and builders in Worcester often work on farms, quoting per day or per building as well as per m². Paving contractors lay farm yards and town driveways. Sand comes by tipper from the valley, and quality varies, so ask for a clean, washed load for bricks and mortar. Fire bricks suit braais and fireplaces through the cold winters. Repairs are done locally or in Cape Town.
Building with brick in Worcester
Out in the Breede River valley, Worcester builds for farms and a growing town. Grape, fruit and wine farms around Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River valley need packsheds, stores, staff housing and boundary walls, many in cement blocks. Zwelethemba and Avian Park keep extending with blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick and plastered homes. The valley is very hot in summer and cold in winter, with frost on clear nights, so fresh bricks need shade and water in January and cover in July. Block yards and hardware stores sit in the industrial area, sand comes from the valley, and deliveries reach the farms by truck.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: glass blocks to light a farm store, dairy or passage without a window
- Homeowners: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: glass block panels built into bathrooms and stairwells on new houses
