Bespoke Kitchen Units Sunderland

Sunderland’s housing stock is characterised by the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Roker, Hendon, and Pallion, the inter-war semis of Fulwell and Grindon, and the post-war housing estates that make up much of the city’s residential areas. Like many north-east cities, Sunderland also has a number of Tyneside-style flats — properties with two separate dwellings stacked vertically — that present unique kitchen fitting challenges due to their constrained dimensions and non-standard layouts.

At SJB Trade Kitchens, I supply bespoke kitchen units built to your exact measurements — custom heights, depths, and widths at no extra charge. Whether you’re fitting a kitchen in a Roker Victorian terrace, a rear extension in Fulwell, or a modern development near the Stadium of Light, our rigid-built units are made to fit your space precisely and priced transparently — 30-50% cheaper than Howdens.

Our Oldham showroom is approximately 1.5 hours from Sunderland via the A1(M). Nationwide delivery is available from as little as 10 working days.

Sunderland’s Victorian terraces in Roker, Hendon, and Pallion often have kitchens in rear additions with non-standard dimensions — narrow widths, low ceilings, and irregular wall angles that make standard units a poor fit. Bespoke units built to the exact dimensions of the available space are the only way to achieve a clean, professional result without filler panels or wasted space.

The city’s Tyneside-style flats present additional challenges — the ground floor flats in particular often have narrow, galley-style kitchens with restricted access, while the upper flats frequently have non-standard ceiling heights. Our made-to-measure approach handles all of these scenarios.

With 18mm solid backs, Blum soft-close hardware as standard, and optional dovetail solid oak drawer boxes for period properties, every unit is built to last. Rigid construction — not flat-pack — means your kitchen arrives fully assembled and ready to install.

Every unit features 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs — not cheap hardboard — making each cabinet genuinely sturdy and built to last. Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer boxes come as standard on every order, so your kitchen feels smooth and quiet from day one.

For a premium upgrade, dovetail solid oak drawer boxes are available, adding a traditional craftsmanship touch that looks exceptional in period and listed properties alike. All units are rigidly constructed — not flat-pack — and arrive fully assembled, ready to install.

We offer made-to-measure units with custom heights, widths, and depths at no extra charge. Choose from over 300 MFC finishes for the carcasses, with door styles including Painted Shaker in solid wood, Gloss or Matt Handleless, and Shaker Foil. Our kitchen specialist works with our manufacturer to ensure every order meets your exact specification, supplied direct with transparent pricing — 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, all year round.

Six main door ranges are available, each in a wide selection of colours and finishes. Click any image below to see the full range.
