Builders in Portlethen
you can trust.
We are a family-run building firm helping Portlethen homeowners with extensions, loft and garage conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and trusted general building work.
We know Portlethen,
and the homes in it.
Granite Builders is a family-run firm working across Portlethen, the commuter town that sits about seven miles south of Aberdeen along the A90, a short way inland from the Kincardineshire coast. We know the area well, from the older fishing roots around Old Portlethen, Findon and Downies to the newer estates that have grown up since the town expanded. That mix of traditional cottages and modern family housing means every home is a little different, and we treat each one that way.
We handle home extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions, along with new kitchens, bathrooms, garden rooms, new builds and the everyday general building work that keeps a home sound. As Federation of Master Builders members who are TrustMark registered, with over twenty years behind us, we keep the site tidy, the timeline clear and the workmanship to a high standard from the first survey through to the final finish, and we are always straight with you about what a job involves.
Most extensions, loft conversions and structural alterations in Portlethen need a building warrant, which is handled by Aberdeenshire Council and is separate from planning permission. We manage that whole process for you, preparing the drawings and supporting paperwork, submitting the application and dealing with the council and its inspections so the build is properly approved and signed off without the stress landing on you. Our building warrants guide walks through how it works.
A finished bathroom in Portlethen.
This is a recent bathroom we completed in Portlethen, a terrazzo tiled en-suite with a vessel sink and walk-in shower. It is one example of the kind of finish we bring to kitchens, bathrooms, loft conversions, extensions and full house renovations across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Every project runs the same way, one accountable team from the first survey to the final handover. Browse more of our work below, then imagine the same care brought to your Portlethen home.

No Unwelcome Surprises

Trusted by homeowners across the North East.
"They helped us renovate an en suite bathroom, including relocating sanitaryware, tiling floors and walls and installing electric underfloor heating. A great service, on time and to the agreed cost. I would highly recommend Shem and his team."
"From our initial meeting to completion, they were very professional, taking time to understand what we wanted and advising on how to achieve the finish we wanted."
"They done an alteration by making a new wall opening and putting in a steel beam, then refurbished the whole house including our kitchen and bathroom. Well recommended."
