Durban notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers and paving contractors work right across the metro, from driveways in Durban North and Westville to retaining walls on the steep plots of Chatsworth and Shallcross. Plaster sand and building sand usually arrive by tipper from pits and quarries inland. Fire bricks for braais and pizza ovens are easy to find, and glass blocks turn up in bathroom panels in older flats. Repairers can rewind vibrator motors and rebuild worn moulds in the industrial areas around Jacobs and Mobeni.
Building with brick in Durban
Humidity is the first thing a Durban builder plans around. Cement bricks and blocks cure slowly in the damp, sticky air, and summer downpours can wash out a fresh slab of bricks in an afternoon, so yards cover their rows and keep stock on pallets longer. Most of the metro builds in cement blocks and maxi bricks: extensions in Chatsworth and Phoenix, new rooms and boundary walls in Umlazi and KwaMashu, and complexes going up around Umhlanga and Cornubia. Face brick near the beachfront and the Bluff often shows white efflorescence from the salt air, and steel on brick machines rusts quickly. Block yards sit along the industrial belts in Jacobs, Prospecton and Riverhorse Valley, and tippers bring sand in from inland.
Who asks for paving contractors around Durban, most often first:
- Homeowners: a new driveway, a path to the back door or paving around a pool
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a paving subcontractor to finish driveways and walkways at handover
