Wren Kitchens at White City Retail Park in Manchester is one of the most visited kitchen showrooms in the M16 area, drawing homeowners from Stretford, Chorlton, Salford, and across south Manchester. If you’ve already booked a design appointment or you’re planning to browse their displays this weekend, we’d encourage you to make one extra stop before you sign anything. SJB Trade Kitchens in Oldham is just 20 minutes from White City via the M60, and what you’ll find here could save you thousands on a kitchen that’s built to a higher specification.
Wren Kitchens sells both rigid and flat-pack kitchen ranges through their consumer showrooms. The specification you end up with — including carcass thickness, back panel material, and drawer hardware — will depend on which range and price point you select. Wren’s drawer brand is not publicly disclosed, which can make it difficult to assess the long-term durability of the hardware before you commit. Their showroom model is designed around same-day consultations with time-sensitive offers, which can feel pressured if you’re still in the research phase and want to compare options properly.
SJB Trade Kitchens takes a different approach entirely. Every kitchen we supply is rigid built as standard — 18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses, 18mm solid backs, and Blum Antaro soft-close drawers on every unit. Steve, our owner, has spent over 20 years in the kitchen industry and works directly with a specialist manufacturer based next door to our Oldham showroom. That close relationship means we can offer fully customisable, made-to-order kitchens at trade prices — typically 30–50% less than what you’d pay at a high street showroom. Our showroom is only 20 minutes from White City Retail Park, so you can visit both in a single afternoon and judge the difference for yourself. For a full breakdown, see our Wren Kitchens alternative page.

Why SJB Trade Kitchens Is the Better Choice
20 Minutes from White City — A Trip That Could Save You Thousands
SJB Trade Kitchens in Oldham is a quick 20-minute drive from White City Retail Park via the M60. Making that short journey could save you 30–50% on a kitchen built to a higher specification than many high street alternatives. Steve will walk you through the materials and build quality without any sales pressure.
Transparent Specifications — Know Exactly What You’re Getting
With SJB, the specification is clear from the outset: 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses, 18mm solid backs, and Blum Antaro drawers on every unit. There are no entry-level ranges with thinner panels or undisclosed hardware. What you see in our showroom is what arrives at your door — fully rigid, fully assembled.
Made to Order with Custom Dimensions
Every SJB kitchen is made to order with custom heights, depths, and widths available. If your Manchester home has an awkward layout, alcoves, or non-standard ceiling heights, we can accommodate that without expensive bespoke surcharges. Standard sizing limitations don’t apply here.
No High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Unlike large showroom chains that rely on same-day offers and time-limited discounts, SJB gives you a straightforward trade price that doesn’t change from one week to the next. Take your time, compare properly, and come back when you’re ready. The price will be the same.
From Design to Reality: See the Difference
Every SJB kitchen starts with a detailed CAD design so you can see exactly how your finished kitchen will look before a single unit is ordered. Here is what that looks like in practice.

“Steve is absolutely epic! Really nice guy. 100% genuine and to be trusted. Really easy to work with. Couldn’t do enough and always on hand.
The kitchen was amazing quality and the kitchen looked exactly like the images he produced on his computer. The units came ready built which saved a lot of time! Even if you’re not a joiner it was really easy to assemble and fit.
The kitchen is great quality and a VERY competitive price! 100% recommended! Thank you so much!”
