Manchester is our home turf. I’m Steve, the owner of SJB Trade Kitchens. I live in Altrincham, our manufacturing workshop and showroom are based in Oldham, and we supply rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen cabinets and doors direct to addresses right across Greater Manchester.

Because we’re local, we know the housing stock inside out — from the Victorian terraces of Didsbury and Chorlton to the new apartments in Ancoats and Salford. We operate a strictly supply-only model. We design and build your kitchen, we deliver it fully assembled, and you arrange the fitting. By cutting out the showroom middlemen and selling direct, our Manchester customers typically save 30–50% compared to Howdens, while getting a genuinely superior product.

We don’t cut corners on materials. Every carcass is built using 18mm Egger or Kronospan board, complete with solid 18mm backs — far stronger than the hardboard used by most competitors. We also include premium Blum soft-close hinges and runners as standard on every single unit. Our gloss doors are MDF with an acrylic coating or lacquered finish, not vinyl wraps. Our Painted Shaker doors are solid wood.

If you walk into a high street kitchen showroom in Manchester city centre or out in the suburbs, you’re paying for their rent, their displays, and their sales commissions. If you go to a trade depot, you can’t even get a price without a builder’s account — and you’re relying on them to pass on a fair rate. Neither model works in your favour.

We do things differently. You deal directly with me, the manufacturer. The prices you see on our website are exactly what you pay — completely transparent, with no fake seasonal sales or inflated list prices. Because every kitchen is made to order, we build to your exact measurements. There’s no need for awkward filler panels or compromising on the design to make standard sizes fit your space.

Greater Manchester has an incredibly diverse housing stock — Edwardian semis in Didsbury, back-to-back terraces in Salford, new-build estates in Wythenshawe, and everything in between. Made-to-order is the only sensible way to approach that variety. Our rigid-built kitchen cabinets use 18mm board throughout, including the backs — a genuine structural advantage over the thin hardboard you’ll find in most depot kitchens.

We deliver right across Greater Manchester — Stockport, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Wigan, Salford, and everywhere in between. Because we’re manufacturing right here in Oldham, our turnaround times are sharp. We can have your rigid-built kitchen delivered to your door starting from just 10 working days from order confirmation.

We don’t do flat-packs. Every cabinet arrives fully assembled. This means your joiner can get straight to work fitting the kitchen, rather than wasting hours building boxes on site. It saves you money on labour and gets the job finished faster — which matters whether you’re living in the property or trying to get a rental back on the market.

If you want to see the build quality before you buy, you’re practically on our doorstep. Come and visit our showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB. Give us a ring on 0161 509 4221 to let us know you’re coming in.

We believe that buying a trade-quality kitchen shouldn’t require a trade card. Whether you’re a homeowner taking on a DIY renovation in Altrincham, a landlord updating a rental portfolio in Salford, or a local tradesperson looking for a reliable supplier, we provide the exact same high-quality product at the exact same price.

Our DIY kitchen supply service covers everything you need in one order: cabinets, doors, handles, hinges, worktops, sinks, and taps. One delivery, one point of contact, no surprises. You don’t need a trade card, you don’t need an account, and you don’t need to be a professional. Everyone gets the same honest price.
