What to know locally in Western Cape
Small yards in Philippi, Mfuleni and Atlantis run egg-laying and static machines, and some sell pavers from the same slab. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in Epping, Montague Gardens and Blackheath stock moulds, mixers and spares. Through the wet winter, a roofed curing area keeps production going, and near the coast the south easter rusts bare steel, so clean and paint machine frames.
Western Cape: the building, the weather and the yards
Winter rain, not frost, is the main enemy of fresh bricks in the Western Cape. From May to August, curing rows in the Cape Flats and Winelands need covering, and bricklayers plan around wet weeks. The metro builds everywhere at once: backyard rooms in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Delft, complexes in Parklands, Kraaifontein and Somerset West, and alterations to Victorian homes in the Southern Suburbs. Sand has long come from the Philippi area and the dunes of the Cape Flats, and clay brickyards work the shale belt north of the city. Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester and George add wine farms, student housing and Garden Route homes, and the south easter carries salt spray well inland.
Typical second hand brick machines requests in the area 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
Local tips for Western Cape
Yards and suppliers serving Western Cape mostly work from here: yards on the Cape Flats and northern edge of the metro; trades in the Winelands and George. The requests that come up most: cement blocks for backyard rooms, clay face brick for complexes and alterations. When you ask for quotes, in winter, ask how the yard covers its stock and whether bricks arrive dry.
Requests range widely: hand presses to complete used plants. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home. One local point to raise: yards deliver across the metro by crane truck; sand from pits on the Cape Flats.
