Pretoria notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers from Mamelodi and Atteridgeville work right across the city and quote per m² or per 1,000 bricks laid. Sand comes by tipper from pits to the north and west, so ask for plaster and building sand separately. Paving contractors are busy in Pretoria East estates and on township driveways. Fire bricks for braai and pizza ovens are asked for in Lynnwood and Garsfontein, and repairers in Pretoria West fix motors and moulds.
Building with brick 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.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- 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
- Housing developers and complexes: paved internal roads, parking bays and entrances across a complex

Where the yards and suppliers are: block yards in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton; small yards in the townships. A useful tip: ask whether the quote includes offloading, since many township streets are narrow.
Paving Contractors usually suit driveways, paths, patios and yards, made or supplied like this: compacted base, bedding sand, pavers, joints.
