Graniteman, a subsidiary of Oakley Building Consultants, specialise in high quality, but affordable, handcrafted granite kitchens. We are based in Brighton, East Sussex and cover East & West Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, London and further afield by arrangement.

Granite is available in a multitude of colours, shades and patterns and it is this range that makes granite such an appealing and unique material to use, especially in the kitchen as worktops.

We also offer marble for bathrooms and fireplaces, plus slate and all other natural stone products for furniture, patios, tiling, etc.

We are not kitchen suppliers, we are stonemasons, but will be happy to point you in the right direction. We fit for most of the major kitchen companies and will cheerfully recommend the best you have locally.

• For the trade we offer a templating & fixing service second to none.
• Templating involves making a set of pattern worktops to your specifications & approval and being used to manufacture the final product.
• The templaters then return with your granite worktops and fit them exactly as agreed, having the knowledge and equipment to ensure your worktops are installed with the minimum of fuss and upheaval.
• We are able to attend to plumbing, cabinetwork, electrics etc, should this be necessary, thus avoiding extra charges for other tradesmen having to be present at installation of worktops.

Company MD, Steve Bunyan comments on the attraction of his chosen stone, "Granite is a stone that defies time. From the romantic wind-lashed cliffs of smugglers' Cornwall to the sleek modern kitchens of trendy city homes, it has a message for all. Be it found in a rustic family kitchen or a contemporary urban apartment, it will always add a dash of earthy, dramatic elegance."
