Kitchens Sunderland | SJB Trade Kitchens

Sunderland’s housing stock is shaped by the city’s shipbuilding and mining heritage, with row after row of Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Roker, Hendon, and Millfield sitting alongside the inter-war and post-war estates of Pennywell, Thorney Close, and Farringdon. The terraces present compact kitchens with chimney breast alcoves, thick walls, and narrow rear extensions where standard flat-pack units leave gaps and wasted space. The inter-war semis of Fulwell and Seaburn offer more generous rooms but frequently include original pantry cupboards and bay window returns that demand precise cabinet sizing. Sunderland’s waterfront regeneration — with new apartments along the River Wear and around Vaux Brewery — adds contemporary kitchen requirements to the mix. For every Sunderland property type, made-to-measure kitchen units ensure a perfect fit without filler panels or compromise.

SJB Trade Kitchens is a kitchen specialist supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units across Sunderland and the wider North East. Every unit features 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs — not cheap hardboard — and comes with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer boxes as standard. We supply units direct at 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, with transparent pricing and no inflated list prices. Whether you are a trade fitter renovating a terrace in Hendon, a landlord refurbishing a rental in Pallion, or a homeowner planning a kitchen extension in Cleadon, our units are built to your exact specification at no extra cost for custom sizing.

Can you supply kitchens for the Victorian terraces in Roker and Hendon?

How long does delivery take to Sunderland?

Delivery to Sunderland typically takes around 10 working days from order confirmation. We use a specialist pallet courier service covering the whole of the North East, and our kitchen specialist will confirm the exact delivery window once your order is placed.

Are your kitchens suitable for the inter-war semis in Fulwell and Seaburn?

Absolutely. The inter-war semis across Fulwell and Seaburn often have original pantry cupboards and non-standard alcoves. Because every unit is made to order, we can build around these features precisely — no filler panels, no gaps, and no wasted storage space.

How do your prices compare to Howdens for a Sunderland kitchen?

Our rigid-built, made-to-measure units are priced 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, all year round. Every unit includes 18mm solid backs (not hardboard), Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawer boxes as standard. Our pricing is transparent from the start with no inflated list prices.

Do you supply kitchens for the new waterfront apartments along the River Wear?

Yes. Our Handleless Matt and Slab Matt door ranges are ideal for the contemporary open-plan layouts found in Sunderland’s newer waterfront developments. We build to any dimension, so units can be sized precisely to fit around structural features common in apartment kitchens. Call 0161 509 4221 to discuss your project.
