Rigid Kitchen Units Derby
Rigid Kitchen Units Supplied Direct to Derby
Derby’s housing stock ranges from the Georgian elegance of Friar Gate and the Victorian terraces of the city centre to the interwar suburbs of Allestree, Littleover, and Mickleover. The Derwent Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage Site running through the city — adds historic mill conversions and period cottages to the mix. Nearby towns like Belper and Duffield offer characterful stone-built properties, while modern new-build estates on the city’s outskirts cater to growing families.
SJB Trade Kitchens supplies rigid kitchen units direct to homeowners and tradespeople across Derby and Derbyshire. Derby is under 2 hours from our Oldham showroom, and the city’s mix of period properties and modern housing makes it a strong market for our made-to-order rigid units. We supply cabinets with 18mm backs, Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawers as standard — all at prices 30–50% cheaper than Howdens, with delivery in as little as 10 working days.
We supply rigid-built kitchen cabinets made to your exact measurements, with over 100 door styles to choose from. Every order comes with a free design service, a detailed quote within 24 hours, 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 Derby
Are rigid kitchen units suitable for the mill conversions along the Derwent Valley?
They are ideal. Mill conversions and period properties along the Derwent Valley often have thick stone walls, exposed beams, and non-standard room dimensions. Our made-to-order rigid units can be built to the exact measurements of these spaces, accommodating the quirks that make these properties so characterful.
How long does delivery take to Derby?
We deliver to Derby in as little as 10 working days from order confirmation. Derby is around 1 hour 45 minutes from our Oldham base via the M62 and M1, and we deliver to Derbyshire regularly.
What kitchen styles suit the interwar semis in Allestree and Littleover?
The 1930s semis in Allestree and Littleover suit a range of styles. Shaker painted doors in warm, neutral tones are a classic choice, while handleless matt finishes in contemporary colours work well for modern renovations. Our made-to-order sizing means we can build to the exact dimensions of your kitchen, whatever the style.
Do you supply rigid units for new-build developments around Derby?
Yes. We work with developers across Derbyshire, supplying rigid units for new-build housing and apartment projects. Our competitive pricing, 18mm carcass construction, and 10 working day lead time make us a practical choice for residential developments.
