What to know locally in East London
A small block yard with an electric egg-laying machine and a mixer is a common start-up in Mdantsane, selling to neighbours building rooms. Damp, salty air rusts steel, so keep the machine under cover, grease it often and touch up the paint. Beyond the metro, in villages towards Bhisho, engine driven and manual machines suit stands without power. Ask the supplier where spares and moulds are kept.
East London: the building, the weather and the yards
On the banks of the Buffalo River, East London is a port city with a big housing need around it. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, builds constantly: new rooms, boundary walls, spaza shops and family houses, mostly in cement blocks. Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon have face brick homes and newer complexes, and the industrial development zone on the West Bank draws factory and warehouse work. The coast is humid with rain spread through the year, so cement bricks cure slowly and face brick near the sea shows salt. Block yards and stores sit in Wilsonia and the West Bank, and small yards in Mdantsane and Duncan Village make blocks for neighbours.
Who asks for paving brick machines around East London, most often first:
- Homeowners: making pavers for your own driveway, patio or garden paths over a few weekends
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers made alongside bricks to finish driveways and walkways on house jobs
- Brickyards and block yards: adding pavers and kerbs to a brick or block yard's range
