Pretoria notes on bricks & blocks
Soshanguve, Mabopane and Hammanskraal use a lot of cement maxi bricks and 140 mm hollow blocks for extensions and rental rooms. In Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Menlo Park the work is renovation, where face brick has to match an older house, and complexes in Montana and Pretoria East order face brick by the truckload. Retaining blocks are common on the sloping stands around Moreleta Park and Faerie Glen, where gardens step down the ridges.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Pretoria
From Mamelodi in the east to Atteridgeville in the west and Soshanguve in the north, Pretoria's townships keep a large share of the city's bricklayers busy with extensions, double storeys and RDP houses being enlarged. The eastern side tells a different story: estates and complexes around Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Pretoria East use face brick and plastered maxi brick for security villages and townhouses. Block yards cluster in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton, while many township stands run a small machine of their own. Winters are cold and dry with frost in the low parts of the city, and summer brings heavy afternoon storms, so bricks curing in the open need plastic sheeting and a slab with good fall.

- Homeowners: maxi bricks for a back room, a garage or a plastered boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: faster walling on extensions and low-cost houses with fewer bricks to lay
