Rigid Kitchen Units Sussex
Rigid Kitchen Units Supplied Direct to Sussex
Sussex stretches from the South Downs to the sea, and its housing stock is equally diverse. Brighton’s Regency terraces and colourful seafront architecture are iconic, while the medieval streets of Lewes and Chichester offer period townhouses and flint-built cottages. The South Downs villages are home to characterful flint and brick cottages, and the commuter towns of Horsham and Haywards Heath have large stocks of Edwardian and interwar family homes. Worthing and Eastbourne add Victorian and Edwardian seaside architecture to the mix.
SJB Trade Kitchens supplies rigid kitchen units direct to homeowners and tradespeople across East and West Sussex. The county’s rich stock of period properties — from Brighton’s Regency terraces to the flint cottages of the South Downs — makes it a natural market for our made-to-order rigid units. Standard cabinet sizes rarely suit these characterful homes, and our ability to build to the exact millimetre is a genuine advantage. We supply at prices 30–50% cheaper than Howdens, with 18mm backs and Blum hardware as standard.
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. For more detail on our cabinet construction, see our trade kitchen cabinet manufacturer page. You can also browse our full rigid kitchen units hub page for more information.

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 Sussex
Are rigid kitchen units suitable for Brighton’s Regency terraces?
They are ideal. Brighton’s Regency properties often have tall ceilings, deep alcoves, and basement kitchens with non-standard dimensions. Our made-to-order rigid units can be built to accommodate these proportions, including extra-tall wall units and custom base cabinets to fit around the architectural features of these elegant homes.
How long does delivery take to Sussex?
We deliver to Sussex in as little as 10 working days from order confirmation. Sussex is around 4 hours 30 minutes from our Oldham base via the M6 and M23, and we deliver to the South East regularly.
What kitchen styles suit the flint cottages on the South Downs?
The flint and brick cottages of the South Downs suit shaker painted kitchens in heritage colours — sage greens, warm creams, and soft blues complement the rural setting beautifully. Dovetail solid oak drawer boxes add a premium touch, and our made-to-order sizing accommodates the low ceilings and uneven walls common in these period properties.
Do you supply rigid units for property developments in Crawley and Horsham?
Yes. We work with developers across Sussex, including projects in Crawley, Horsham, and the surrounding areas. Our competitive pricing, consistent quality, and 10 working day lead time make us a practical supplier for residential developments of all sizes.
Can I get door samples sent to Sussex?
Absolutely. We post door samples anywhere in the UK, including all areas of Sussex. You can check the colour, texture, and finish against your walls and worktops before placing your order — all without needing to visit our Oldham showroom.
