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

Searching for kitchen units in Huddersfield? I’m Steve, and I’ve spent over 20 years supplying quality kitchen units to homeowners across West Yorkshire. My showroom is in Oldham — about 15 miles from Huddersfield — and I work directly with our manufacturer to bring you rigid-built units at genuinely competitive prices.

Huddersfield is one of our closest West Yorkshire delivery areas — just over the Pennines from Oldham. The town has a stunning collection of stone-built architecture, from the grand railway station to the terraced streets climbing the hillsides. Mill conversions along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and Colne Valley are particularly popular, and homeowners here want kitchens that complement the industrial heritage of these remarkable buildings.

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.

Direct supply means better value. I work directly with our manufacturer to supply rigid-built kitchen units to Huddersfield homeowners. There’s no middleman, no trade card requirement, and no inflated showroom prices. The result is a kitchen that costs 30-50% less than Howdens — with genuinely better construction.

20 years of kitchen expertise. I’ve been helping homeowners choose the right kitchen for over two decades. I know what works in West Yorkshire’s varied housing stock, and I can help you avoid the expensive mistakes that come from buying off-the-shelf kitchens that don’t quite fit.

18mm construction throughout. Every unit uses 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with 18mm solid backs. This is the specification that premium kitchen brands charge thousands more for — and it’s standard on every SJB kitchen. The 18mm backs are particularly important: they keep the unit rigid and square, preventing the bowing and flexing that ruins cheaper kitchens within a few years.

Bespoke for Huddersfield properties. Stone-built terraces in the town centre, mill conversions along the canals, 1930s semis in Lindley and Edgerton, and larger homes in Holmfirth and the Colne Valley — Huddersfield has a wonderfully varied housing stock. Made-to-order units with custom heights, depths, and widths mean your kitchen fits your home perfectly, regardless of the property type.

Free CAD design service. Send me your room measurements and I’ll create a detailed CAD kitchen plan with a fully itemised quote. You’ll see exactly how your finished kitchen will look before a single unit is ordered. It’s completely free, and there’s no obligation.

Stone terraces (Town centre, Marsh, Paddock, Birkby) — Pennine terraces with thick stone walls and compact kitchens — made-to-measure units are essential for a proper fit

Mill conversions (Colne Valley, Milnsbridge, Slaithwaite) — Open-plan living in converted mills — handleless and slab kitchen ranges complement the exposed stone and beams beautifully

1930s semis (Lindley, Edgerton, Dalton) — Family homes with generous kitchens — rigid-built units with Blum soft-close hardware are a worthwhile long-term investment

Larger homes (Holmfirth, Meltham, Honley) — Spacious properties in the Holme and Colne Valleys — island units, larder towers, and bespoke configurations all made to order

Every kitchen unit supplied to Huddersfield homes meets the same exacting specification:

18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses — not the 15mm or 16mm chipboard used by many competitors. The full 18mm thickness provides superior rigidity and durability, and the quality of Egger and Kronospan board is recognised across the industry.

18mm solid backs — this is one of the biggest differences between SJB and Howdens. Howdens uses 3mm hardboard backs on their units. SJB uses 18mm solid backs — the same thickness as the carcass itself. This keeps the unit perfectly square and rigid for decades, preventing the bowing and sagging that plagues cheaper kitchens.

Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawers — Blum is the gold standard in kitchen hardware. Every SJB unit comes with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems as standard. These are engineered to last hundreds of thousands of cycles — far beyond the lifetime of the kitchen itself.

Over 300 MFC carcass finishes — with colour-coordinated edging to match. Carcasses are available in over 300 MFC finishes from Egger and Kronospan, from classic whites and creams to bold contemporary colours, woodgrains, and concrete effects. Door styles — Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil — each have their own colour options.

Rigid construction — every unit arrives fully assembled, not flat-pack. This means stronger joints, better alignment, and a kitchen that’s ready for your fitter to install straight from the delivery van.

If you’ve been looking at Howdens for your Huddersfield kitchen, it’s worth understanding the key differences before you commit.

Construction: Howdens units use 3mm hardboard backs. SJB units use 18mm solid backs — the same thickness as the carcass. This single difference has a massive impact on long-term rigidity and durability. A unit with a 3mm back will eventually bow under load; a unit with an 18mm back stays perfectly square for decades.

Assembly: Howdens units arrive flat-pack and need to be assembled on site. SJB units arrive rigid built and fully assembled. This means faster installation, stronger joints, and no risk of assembly errors.

Hardware: Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawers are standard on every SJB unit. At Howdens, soft-close is often an upgrade — and the standard hardware is noticeably inferior to Blum.

Access: Howdens requires a trade card — they won’t sell directly to homeowners. SJB sells directly to you, with transparent pricing and no trade card requirement.

Price: Despite the higher specification, SJB kitchens typically cost 30-50% less than the equivalent Howdens kitchen. That’s not a typo — you genuinely get a better product for less money.

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 25 minutes from Huddersfield), 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 Huddersfield 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.

Huddersfield’s mill conversions in Slaithwaite and Milnsbridge are some of the most striking homes in West Yorkshire. A slab matt kitchen in a dark, industrial tone like anthracite creates a bold, contemporary look that works perfectly with exposed stone and steel.

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.

Is nationwide delivery available?
Yes — SJB delivers kitchen units nationwide across the UK. While many customers are in the North West, Steve regularly supplies kitchens to homes across England, Scotland, and Wales. Delivery is included in the quote.

Corner units are available in a range of configurations including L-shaped corners, blind corners, and carousel units. Because everything is made to order, Steve can design corner solutions that maximise storage in awkward spaces — something that off-the-shelf kitchens simply can’t do.

Are the units rigid or flat-pack?
All SJB kitchen units arrive fully assembled and rigid built. They’re not flat-pack — they’re built properly in a workshop and delivered ready for your fitter to install. This means they’re stronger, squarer, and longer-lasting.

What guarantee do you offer?
The units come with a manufacturer’s guarantee covering construction and materials. Blum hardware carries its own lifetime guarantee. Steve stands behind every kitchen he supplies — if there’s ever an issue, you deal directly with him, not a faceless customer service department.
