About Blurock Quarries

With roots dating back to 1901, Blurock Quarries is built on more than a century of family business, construction and quarrying experience. The quarry at its current location on Zaailaager Farm was established in 1943, operating as JW Smith & Son. In 2010, Blurock Quarries was born, marking a new chapter in the quarry’s history with James Mbongwa joining the team as a director. Today, we continue that legacy as an independent business, combining generations of experience with modern quarrying practices to supply quality aggregate to Estcourt and the surrounding areas.

We are committed to providing high-quality products, reliable service and practical solutions for contractors, engineers, builders, farmers and local customers. Whether supplying aggregate for roads, infrastructure and construction or helping customers find the right material for their project, our experienced team is focused on quality, dependable delivery, transparent pricing and meeting our customers’ needs.

Whether you are an engineer looking for specific safety compliance or a homeowner needing advice on a DIY project, our team is here to help you build with confidence.
