Kitchens Derby | SJB Trade Kitchens

Derby’s housing stock spans everything from the Georgian townhouses of Friar Gate and Kedleston Road to the red-brick Victorian terraces of Normanton and Pear Tree, the inter-war semis of Allestree and Littleover, and the modern estates spreading across Chellaston and Oakwood. The Victorian terraces present compact kitchens with chimney breast alcoves, uneven plaster walls, and narrow rear extensions where standard flat-pack units leave gaps and wasted space. The larger Edwardian and inter-war properties in Darley Abbey and Mickleover offer more generous rooms but frequently include bay window returns and original features that demand precise measurements. Derby’s growing number of city-centre apartments — particularly around the Cathedral Quarter and Riverlights development — require sleek, contemporary designs that maximise open-plan living. Made-to-measure kitchen units are the practical answer to all of these Derby property challenges — every cabinet built to exact dimensions, with no filler panels and no compromise.

SJB Trade Kitchens is a kitchen specialist supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units across Derby and Derbyshire. 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 Normanton, a landlord refurbishing a rental in Chaddesden, or a homeowner extending a semi in Allestree, our units are built to your exact specification at no extra cost for custom sizing.

Derby is approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from our Oldham showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, OL1 4EB via the M1. Delivery to Derby typically takes around 10 working days from order confirmation. Choose from over 300 MFC carcass finishes and door styles including Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil.

Can you supply kitchens for the Victorian terraces in Normanton and Pear Tree?

Yes. The red-brick terraces across Normanton and Pear Tree typically have compact rear kitchens with chimney breast alcoves. We build every unit to your exact measurements so cabinets slot perfectly into these recesses — no filler panels, no visible gaps, and no wasted space.

Can you make units for a kitchen in a Georgian townhouse on Friar Gate?

Absolutely. The Georgian townhouses along Friar Gate and Kedleston Road often have tall ceilings and deep alcoves. We build tall wall units and full-height larder cabinets to take advantage of the ceiling height, and we size units precisely to fit around original period features — all at no extra charge for custom dimensions.
