Rigid Kitchen Units Leicester
Rigid Kitchen Units Supplied Direct to Leicester
Leicester’s housing stock spans centuries of growth. The red-brick Victorian terraces of Clarendon Park and Highfields are among the city’s most characterful neighbourhoods, while the leafy avenues of Stoneygate and Knighton are lined with substantial Edwardian villas and interwar detached homes. The suburbs of Oadby and Wigston offer a mix of 1930s semis and modern estates, and the city centre has seen new apartment development around the Waterside regeneration area and the Cultural Quarter.
SJB Trade Kitchens supplies rigid kitchen units direct to homeowners and tradespeople across Leicester and Leicestershire. The city’s diverse housing stock — from compact Victorian terraces to spacious Edwardian villas — is well suited to our made-to-order approach. Every rigid unit we supply comes with 18mm backs, Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawers as standard, at prices 30–50% cheaper than Howdens. Steve and the team provide a free design service and delivery in as little as 10 working days.

What's Included in Every Rigid Kitchen Unit?
Every kitchen we supply is built around rigid-construction carcasses, made from 18mm Egger or Kronospan board with cam and dowel assembly. These are fully assembled cabinets — not flat-pack. They arrive ready to install, which makes the fitter’s job faster and easier, and means there’s no risk of a cabinet being assembled incorrectly on site.
One of the things that sets us apart from the big-box retailers is our 18mm backs — not hardboard. Most budget kitchen suppliers use thin hardboard backs to cut costs. Every cabinet we supply has a solid 18mm back, giving the carcass genuine structural rigidity and a far longer lifespan.
All cabinets come fitted with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems as standard. Blum is the gold standard in kitchen hardware — their hinges and drawers carry a lifetime guarantee. This isn’t an upgrade or an optional extra. It comes as standard on every cabinet we supply. If you want to go further, we also offer dovetail solid oak drawer boxes as a premium upgrade.
Doors are available in over 100 styles — gloss, matt, shaker, handleless, painted and more — all made to your exact measurements. If your kitchen has an awkward alcove, a sloping ceiling, or a non-standard dimension, we can accommodate it. Every cabinet is made to the millimetre, not to the nearest standard size.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rigid Kitchen Units Leicester
Are rigid kitchen units suitable for the Victorian terraces in Clarendon Park?
They are ideal. The Victorian terraces in Clarendon Park and Highfields often have narrow kitchens with chimney breasts and alcoves. Because our rigid units are made to order, we can build to non-standard widths and depths — making full use of every available centimetre in these characterful but compact spaces.
How long does delivery take to Leicester?
We deliver to Leicester in as little as 10 working days from order confirmation. Leicester is around 2 hours 15 minutes from our Oldham base via the M62 and M1, and we deliver to the East Midlands regularly.
What kitchen styles suit the Edwardian properties in Stoneygate?
The spacious Edwardian properties in Stoneygate and Knighton suit shaker painted kitchens in heritage colours — soft greys, warm whites, and sage greens are popular choices. These properties often have room for a kitchen island, and our made-to-order sizing means we can build island units to the exact dimensions of your space.
Do you supply rigid units for new-build developments in Leicester?
Yes. We work with developers across Leicester, including projects around the Waterside regeneration area. Our competitive pricing, consistent quality, and 10 working day lead time make us a reliable supplier for residential developments of all sizes.
Can I get door samples sent to Leicester?
Absolutely. We post door samples anywhere in the UK, including Leicester. This allows you to check the colour, texture, and finish against your walls and worktops before placing your order — all without needing to visit our Oldham showroom.
