What to know locally in Middelburg
A manual brick machine or a small electric egg-layer is how many Mhluzi brick businesses begin, selling to neighbours building rooms. Farmers sometimes buy a block machine to make their own blocks for sheds. Ask the supplier about moulds for maxi bricks, blocks and pavers, the power needed, and output with your mould and crew. Plan a covered curing area because of the frost.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Middelburg
Frost on winter mornings is the first thing a Middelburg brick maker plans around. Cement bricks made on a slab in June need covering overnight, or the surface flakes and the strength never comes. The town builds steadily: family homes and townhouses in Aerorand and Kanonkop, RDP and self-built houses in Mhluzi, workshops for the steel works and mines, and farm sheds and staff houses out on the Hendrina and Belfast roads. Brickyards and block yards in town carry stock and clay face bricks come in from bigger works. Plenty of people start a small brick business here with a manual or electric machine. Ask for delivery with offloading if the site is a farm or a narrow township street.

- Homeowners: making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet

Local tips for Middelburg
Common here: stock bricks for houses, blocks for farm sheds and workshops, face brick fronts. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask how the yard protects fresh bricks from frost before they leave the slab. Where they work from: brickyards and block yards in the town industrial area and on the main routes in.
Manual Brick Machines usually suit start-ups, farms, villages and home builders, made or supplied like this: lever and tamper compact a damp mix. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet. On the weather side: hard winter frost on fresh bricks; cover new work and lay mortar after the thaw.
