Our History

Protector Build was founded in 1987 with a simple but powerful idea: to give quality building materials a second life. What started as a small salvage operation in Midrand has grown into one of the most trusted suppliers of second-hand building materials Gauteng has to offer. Over nearly four decades, we have served thousands of homeowners, contractors, developers, and businesses across Gauteng and beyond.

Our journey has been built on honesty, hard work, and a deep commitment to our community. We understand that building and renovating can be expensive, and we believe that everyone deserves access to quality materials at fair prices. That is why we source, salvage, and sell a wide range of pre-owned materials — from bricks, roof tiles, and timber to doors, windows, sanitary ware, and much more.

We are proud to serve clients throughout Gauteng, with dedicated branches in Midrand and Pretoria (Wonderboom). Whether you are based in Centurion, Sandton, Johannesburg, Tshwane, Soweto, or surrounding areas, our team is ready to assist you.
