Sandton notes on machines & equipment
Sandton is not a place to run a brick machine on your stand, but Alexandra and the light industrial areas of Marlboro and Wynberg have small yards making cement bricks and blocks for the area. If you want to start one, a single phase egg-laying machine fits a small yard; ask about the slab, water and cement storage. Second hand machines and moulds often come up when yards move.
Sandton: the building, the weather and the yards
Two very different building markets sit side by side in Sandton. In Bryanston, Morningside, Hyde Park and Rivonia, the brick work is renovation: a face brick wing added to a 1970s house, a higher boundary wall, a pool house, or a stoep closed in with matching brick. In Alexandra, across the M1, families build backyard rooms and extra storeys on small stands, mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks carried in on narrow streets. Tower cranes around the Sandton CBD use blocks by the truckload. Few yards sit in Sandton itself, so deliveries come from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kya Sand. Frost is light here but summer hailstorms can damage uncovered pallets.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a used machine to make bricks on a remote site, sold on afterwards
- Housing developers and complexes: used static machines bought for a single housing phase and resold after
