Kitchen Units Colne | Rigid Built, Made to Order | SJB Kitchens

If you’re searching for kitchen units near Colne, you’ve found the right place. I’m Steve, and I run a small kitchen showroom in Oldham — just around 50 minutes from Colne. I work directly with our manufacturer to supply rigid-built kitchen units that are genuinely better than anything you’ll find at Howdens, Wren, or Magnet.

Colne sits at the eastern end of the M65, right on the boundary between Lancashire and Yorkshire. It’s a town with a strong sense of identity and a housing stock dominated by stone-built properties. The surrounding villages of Trawden, Foulridge, and Laneshaw Bridge are particularly desirable, and homeowners here appreciate quality craftsmanship in their homes.

I’ve been supplying kitchens to homeowners for over 20 years. The product I supply is built to a genuinely higher standard than anything you’ll find at Howdens, Wren, or Magnet — and it costs 30–50% less. Every unit uses 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs and Blum soft-close hardware as standard.

Over 20 years’ experience. I’ve been supplying kitchen units for over two decades. I’ve seen every type of kitchen layout, every property style, and every challenge that Colne homes can throw at you. That experience means I can help you get the right kitchen first time.

Genuinely better than Howdens. Howdens’ flat-pack units use 3mm hardboard backs. Mine use 18mm solid backs — the same thickness as the carcass itself. That’s not a minor detail — it’s the difference between a kitchen that stays rigid for 20 years and one that starts to flex and bow.

Made to order for Colne homes. Stone-built terraces in the town centre, weavers’ cottages in Trawden and Foulridge, larger detached homes on the outskirts, and some newer developments — none of these have perfectly standard kitchen dimensions. Made-to-order means your units fit properly, with custom heights, depths, and widths available on every unit.

Transparent pricing. Every quote is fully itemised — every unit, every door, every piece of hardware listed with a clear price. No hidden costs, no vague estimates. You’ll typically save 30-50% compared to Howdens for a kitchen that’s actually built to a higher specification.

No trade card required. Howdens won’t sell to you without a trade card. I sell directly to homeowners in Colne at the same fair prices. No hoops, no barriers — just quality kitchen units at honest prices.

Stone terraces (Town centre, Waterside, Primet Bridge) — Pennine terraces with thick stone walls — made-to-measure units accommodate the non-standard dimensions of these older properties

Weavers’ cottages (Trawden, Foulridge, Laneshaw Bridge) — Historic properties where bespoke sizing is essential — low ceilings and uneven floors need custom solutions

Larger detached homes (Colne outskirts, Laneshawbridge) — Spacious properties with room for island units, larder towers, and full-height cabinets — all made to your exact specifications

Newer developments (Colne outskirts) — Even modern homes benefit from the step up to 18mm rigid units with Blum Antaro drawers as standard

The kitchen units Steve supplies to Colne homeowners are built to a specification that most high-street suppliers simply can’t match:

Carcass construction: 18mm Egger or Kronospan MFC throughout — including a full 18mm solid back panel. This is a critical difference. Most competitors (including Howdens) use 3mm hardboard backs that offer almost no structural support. The 18mm back keeps the unit perfectly rigid and square, even under heavy loads and over many years of daily use.

Hardware: Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems come as standard on every unit. Blum hardware is used in premium German kitchens and is engineered to last a lifetime. The soft-close mechanism means no more slamming doors and drawers — just smooth, quiet operation every time.

Made to order: Every unit is built to your exact specifications. Custom heights, depths, and widths are all available, which means your kitchen fits your Colne home perfectly — regardless of whether it’s a Victorian terrace, a 1930s semi, or a modern new-build.

Finish options: Over 300 MFC finishes with colour-coordinated edging. Six door ranges — Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil — each available in a wide selection of colours.

Rigid built: Units arrive fully assembled and ready for installation. No flat-pack assembly, no wobbly joints, no missing fixings. Just solid, properly built kitchen units delivered to your Colne address.

In an age of disposable furniture, SJB kitchen units are designed to last. Here’s why that matters for Colne homeowners — and for the environment.

20-year lifespan vs 5-year replacement. A cheap flat-pack kitchen might need replacing after 5-7 years as the hardboard backs bow, the cam locks loosen, and the budget hinges wear out. An SJB rigid-built kitchen with 18mm backs and Blum hardware will last 20 years or more. That’s three or four cheap kitchens you won’t need to buy — and three or four kitchens that won’t end up in landfill.

Quality materials from responsible sources. Egger and Kronospan are both committed to responsible forestry and sustainable manufacturing. The MFC boards used in SJB kitchens are produced to exacting environmental standards.

Blum hardware: built for a lifetime. Blum tests its hinges and drawer systems to withstand hundreds of thousands of cycles — far beyond what any kitchen will experience in normal use. This means no replacement hinges, no failed drawer runners, and no unnecessary waste.

Made to order means no waste. Every SJB kitchen is built to your exact specifications. There are no surplus units, no off-cuts from standard sizes, and no wasted materials. You get exactly what you need, and nothing goes to waste.

A kitchen that adds value. A well-built kitchen adds genuine value to your Colne home. If you ever sell, a rigid-built kitchen with quality hardware is a genuine selling point — unlike a tired flat-pack kitchen that puts buyers off.

One of the most common questions Steve gets from Colne homeowners is: “How much will my kitchen cost?” The honest answer is that it depends on the size, layout, and specification — but here’s what makes SJB different from the competition.

Every quote is fully itemised. You’ll see the price of every base unit, wall unit, tall unit, door, drawer, hinge, and handle. There are no bundled prices, no vague estimates, and no hidden extras. What you see is what you pay.

No trade card markup. Howdens sells through trade accounts, which means there’s a markup built in for the fitter’s margin. SJB sells directly to homeowners at the same transparent price. You’re not paying for someone else’s profit margin.

30-50% less than Howdens. For a comparable kitchen layout, SJB typically costs 30-50% less than Howdens — and the specification is actually higher (18mm backs vs 3mm hardboard, Blum hardware as standard vs optional upgrade).

No pressure, no hard sell. Steve will give you a detailed quote and let you take your time to decide. There are no limited-time offers, no “today only” discounts, and no pressure tactics. The price is the price, whether you order today or next month.

Free design service. The CAD design and quotation service is completely free with no obligation. Send your measurements, get a detailed design and quote, and decide in your own time.

Steve has been in the kitchen industry for over 20 years. He’s not a salesman working to targets — he’s a kitchen specialist who genuinely knows the product inside out.

Based at a small showroom in Oldham (around 50 minutes from Colne), Steve works directly with the manufacturer to supply rigid-built kitchen units at prices that undercut the big chains by 30-50%. There’s no middleman, no franchise fee, and no expensive showroom overheads to cover. The savings go straight to you.

What sets Steve apart is his hands-on approach. He designs every kitchen personally using CAD software, he knows the specification of every unit he supplies, and he’s available on the phone when you need him. When you call 0161 509 4221, you speak to Steve — not a call centre.

Over the years, Steve has supplied kitchens to every type of property imaginable — from compact city apartments to large country houses, from Victorian terraces to brand-new builds. That experience means he can help you avoid the common mistakes and get the right kitchen for your Colne home first time.

The showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB is open for visits — no appointment needed. Come in, see the carcass quality, test the Blum hardware, and browse the door and finish samples.

Colne’s position on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border means many properties have stunning Pennine views. A handleless kitchen in a neutral tone keeps the focus on the landscape while giving you a clean, modern workspace.

I supply six door ranges that cover every style — from traditional to ultra-modern. Click any image below to see the full range and colour options.

How do I get started?
Call Steve on 0161 509 4221, fill in the form on this page, or visit the showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB. Bring your room measurements if you have them — or Steve can talk you through how to measure up.

What’s the difference between your units and what I’d get from a DIY store?
The main differences are construction quality and materials. SJB units use 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with 18mm solid backs and Blum hardware as standard. Most DIY store kitchens use thinner carcasses with hardboard backs and budget hinges. The result is a kitchen that’s stronger, squarer, and lasts significantly longer.

What carcass material do you use?
Every unit uses 18mm Egger or Kronospan MFC carcasses with solid 18mm backs. This is a significant step up from the 15mm or 16mm carcasses with 3mm hardboard backs that you’ll find at Howdens, Wren, or Magnet.

How long does delivery take?
Delivery is typically from 10 working days after order confirmation. Because every kitchen is made to order, there’s a short lead time — but it’s well worth the wait for units built to your exact specifications.

Can I have an island unit?
Absolutely. Island units are made to order just like every other SJB unit — custom dimensions, 18mm construction, Blum hardware. Steve can design an island that works perfectly with your kitchen layout and available space.

How are the units delivered?
Units are delivered on a dedicated vehicle, carefully wrapped and protected. They arrive fully assembled and rigid built — your fitter can start installation straight away. Steve coordinates delivery timing to suit your installation schedule.

Do the units come with plinths and cornice?
Plinths, cornices, pelmet rails, and all finishing trims are available to complete your kitchen. These are supplied in matching finishes to ensure a seamless, professional look throughout.

Do you deliver to Colne?
Yes — Colne is at the end of the M65, making delivery from our Oldham base straightforward. We cover the whole Pendle area including Trawden, Foulridge, and Barnoldswick. Call Steve on 0161 509 4221 or fill in the form on this page to get started.
