Bricks, blocks and brick making in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
Who asks for paving contractors around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners: a new driveway, a path to the back door or paving around a pool
- New brick-making businesses: a small paver maker offering supply and lay with a local paving team
- Brickyards and block yards: a paver yard sending its customers to contractors who lay its pavers well
