Wren Kitchens has a showroom on the Angouleme Way and Dettingen Way area of Bury, BL9, and it’s one of the go-to destinations for homeowners across Bury, Ramsbottom, Tottington, and Radcliffe who are starting their kitchen renovation journey. The showroom is well-presented and easy to find, but before you book a design consultation or accept a quote, it’s worth taking 20 minutes to drive over to SJB Trade Kitchens in Oldham. What you’ll discover is a fundamentally different approach to kitchen supply — one that prioritises build quality, transparent pricing, and genuine value over showroom theatre.
Wren’s Bury showroom offers both rigid and flat-pack kitchen ranges, and the specification you receive will depend on which collection and price point you choose. Their drawer hardware brand is not publicly disclosed, so it can be difficult to make a direct comparison on component quality before you’ve signed on the dotted line. Wren operates a consumer-direct showroom model with design consultations that often come with time-sensitive pricing — a structure that can make it harder to step back, compare alternatives, and make a fully informed decision at your own pace.
SJB Trade Kitchens offers a refreshingly straightforward alternative. Every kitchen we supply is rigid built as standard with 18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses, 18mm solid back panels, and Blum Antaro soft-close drawers fitted to every unit — no upgrades required. Steve, our owner, has over 20 years of experience in the kitchen industry and works alongside a specialist manufacturer based right next door to our Oldham showroom. That relationship allows us to offer made-to-order kitchens at trade prices, saving you 30–50% compared to high street alternatives. Our showroom is just 20 minutes from Bury — come and see us, handle the units, and compare the build quality in person before you make any commitments. You can find a detailed comparison on our Wren Kitchens alternative page.

Why SJB Trade Kitchens Is the Better Choice
Just 20 Minutes from Bury — An Easy Detour That Pays Off
SJB Trade Kitchens is a quick 20-minute drive from Bury town centre via the M66 and M62. Many of our Bury customers tell us they wish they’d visited sooner. Steve is always happy to show you around the showroom, explain the build quality differences, and provide a no-obligation quote on the spot.
Every Unit Rigid Built with 18mm Solid Backs
Where some kitchen suppliers offer a mix of rigid and flat-pack options depending on budget, SJB supplies rigid built units exclusively. Every carcass is 18mm Egger or Kronospan with an 18mm solid back panel — not 8mm hardboard. This means stronger wall units, better screw retention, and a kitchen that lasts decades rather than years.
Blum Antaro Drawers on Every Kitchen — Not Just Premium Ranges
Blum is the gold standard in kitchen drawer hardware, and SJB fits Blum Antaro soft-close drawers as standard on every single kitchen. You won’t need to upgrade or pay extra for quality hardware. With Wren, the drawer brand isn’t publicly disclosed, so it’s worth asking exactly what you’re getting before you sign.
Honest Pricing from an Independent Specialist
SJB is an independent kitchen specialist run by Steve, who has over 20 years in the industry. There are no corporate sales targets, no “this offer ends today” pressure, and no hidden costs. You get a fair trade price that reflects the true cost of quality materials and expert craftsmanship — typically 30–50% less than what Wren charges at their Bury showroom.
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!”
