Bespoke Kitchen Units Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s housing stock is among the most architecturally significant in the UK. The Georgian New Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is characterised by grand tenement flats and townhouses with high ceilings, deep alcoves, and original period features that make standard kitchen cabinets a poor fit. The Victorian tenements of Marchmont, Bruntsfield, and Morningside present their own challenges, with narrow kitchen spaces, stone walls, and non-standard dimensions that require a made-to-measure approach.

At SJB Trade Kitchens, I supply bespoke kitchen units built to your exact measurements — custom heights, depths, and widths at no extra charge. Whether you’re fitting a kitchen in a New Town flat, a Marchmont tenement, or a modern extension in Corstorphine, our rigid-built units are made to fit your space precisely and priced transparently — 30-50% cheaper than Howdens.

Our Oldham showroom is approximately 3.5 hours from Edinburgh via the A74(M) and M6. Nationwide delivery is available from as little as 10 working days, and sample doors can be posted directly to your Edinburgh address.

Edinburgh’s tenement flats — particularly in the New Town, Marchmont, and Stockbridge — are frequently listed or within conservation areas, and their kitchens often occupy spaces that were never originally designed as kitchens. High ceilings, stone walls, deep alcoves, and irregular floor plans are the norm, and standard cabinet dimensions simply cannot accommodate these conditions.

The city’s Victorian tenements in areas like Leith, Gorgie, and Dalry often have narrow kitchen spaces with limited natural light and non-standard ceiling heights. Bespoke units built to the exact dimensions of the available space — including tall larder units that make the most of high ceilings — are the only way to maximise these challenging spaces.

With 18mm solid backs, Blum soft-close hardware as standard, and optional dovetail solid oak drawer boxes for period properties, every unit is built to last. Rigid construction — not flat-pack — means your kitchen arrives fully assembled and ready to install.

Every unit features 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs — not cheap hardboard — making each cabinet genuinely sturdy and built to last. Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer boxes come as standard on every order, so your kitchen feels smooth and quiet from day one.

For a premium upgrade, dovetail solid oak drawer boxes are available, adding a traditional craftsmanship touch that looks exceptional in period and listed properties alike. All units are rigidly constructed — not flat-pack — and arrive fully assembled, ready to install.

We offer made-to-measure units with custom heights, widths, and depths at no extra charge. Choose from over 300 MFC finishes for the carcasses, with door styles including Painted Shaker in solid wood, Gloss or Matt Handleless, and Shaker Foil. Our kitchen specialist works with our manufacturer to ensure every order meets your exact specification, supplied direct with transparent pricing — 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, all year round.

Six main door ranges are available, each in a wide selection of colours and finishes. Click any image below to see the full range.

From Edinburgh, our Oldham showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB is approximately 3.5 hours via the A74(M) and M6. You’re welcome to visit in person, or we can post door and finish samples directly to your Edinburgh address. Call 0161 509 4221 or email info@sjball.uk to arrange.

Can you make bespoke units to fit a New Town flat kitchen in Edinburgh?

Yes — New Town flats are a speciality. These properties have high ceilings, deep alcoves, and period features that standard units cannot accommodate. We build to your exact measurements, including tall larder units that make the most of Edinburgh’s characteristically high ceilings.

How long does delivery take to Edinburgh?

Delivery to Edinburgh typically takes around 10 working days from order confirmation. We deliver nationwide and our kitchen specialist will confirm the exact delivery window once your order is in production.

Can I visit your showroom from Edinburgh?

Yes — our showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB is around 3.5 hours from Edinburgh via the A74(M) and M6. Alternatively, we can post door and finish samples directly to your Edinburgh address.

Do you supply bespoke kitchen units for listed buildings in Edinburgh’s New Town?

Yes. We regularly supply to listed properties across Scotland, including Edinburgh’s New Town and other conservation areas. Our units arrive fully assembled and can be fitted without structural alterations — essential where listed building consent applies.

Can you supply bespoke units for a kitchen extension in Edinburgh?

Yes. Whether it’s a rear extension in Morningside or a loft conversion in Stockbridge, we build to any dimension — including full-height units, low-ceiling runs, and island bases — all at the same transparent price, 30-50% cheaper than Howdens.

Fantastic experience with Steve from start to finish. He designed an amazing kitchen in a small space and truly went above and beyond what I expected. He took the time to listen carefully to my ideas and requirements, and was never pushy throughout the process. His knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail really stood out at every stage. Everything was planned and executed with care, and he made sure even the smallest details were perfect. The end result is a beautifully designed, highly functional kitchen that I’m absolutely thrilled with. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After visiting a few "big brand" kitchen places & being absolutely gob smacked at the prices, the pushy salesmen & the amazing "discounts" they claimed were on for "1 week only".... I went searching for a small local business. I found SJB on eBay initially & then popped along to his Instagram account to have a nosey at his products etc. I dropped him a message & got a reply pretty much straight away. I sent our measurements, needs & ideas & Steve got to work & brought our design to life! He worked fast & was extremely helpful. He made changes if we wanted them, he went hunting for a particular handle I wanted (a lot cheaper too as 1 company wanted £12 a handle, Steve found them for just £4) We visited his show room to make sure because we weren't being charged the earth, we weren't getting a cheap / flimsy product. Well we absolutely weren't! We had a slight issue with one of the cabinets being damaged upon arrival, spoke to Steve, who immediately ordered a replacement to be sent. Steve was contactable throughout, nothing was too much trouble, & he's just a genuine nice guy, who runs a fantastic small business. 100% recommend using SJB Trade Kitchens especially over the giant money grabbing companies!

Steve designed and provided all the quality parts necessary for my fitter to make up this beautiful kitchen. All arrived promptly and any queries were responded to immediately and efficiently. Steve is highly professional and easy to get along with which makes a huge difference in our busy world! I would definitely recommend Steve and will use him on my next build. Thank you !

Steve is absolutely epic! Really nice guy. 100% genuine & 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!

I cannot stress how happy I am with my kitchen from SJB. We didn’t had a great experience with our builder during the renovation of our house however the final kitchen made up for it. SJB offered high quality finishes at quick turnarounds and even made a custom made island which is better than I ever expected. I will be returning soon to SJB for my bedroom wardrobes!

I came across SJB on Ebay, and contacted Steve. He was very helpful in inviting us to his kitchen showroom to look at the various kitchens. This helped  a lot as he was on site to talk us through ideas and suggestions. We chose, what we thought, a relatively priced kitchen as it was for a rental property, but the finished result has been just amazing! It looks so expensive, even the fitter said it was very good quality for a fraction of what other places charge. Steve kindly designed the kitchen, gave us good ideas and was always available on the phone if we ever needed advice. I have never purchased a kitchen without the company providing a fitter as I have always doubted if the kitchen would fit how it should, but this has completely changed my perception. It has been flawless and friends and family have compared it to their much more expensive ones, saying this looks amazing and better than theirs! If you need a kitchen, with a gentleman that goes over and above, SJB is the place to go. You will not be disappointed, the whole process has been stress free thanks to Steve, I honestly cannot thank him enough for all his efforts and kindness. We hope to come back very soon!

I've worked in the building trade for over 20 years, the kitchen supplied by Steven was a better quality then a Howdens or magnet kitchen and also a good bit cheaper. Steven's easy to deal with, everything arrived as quoted no problems no damaged items and on the exact day specified. Would highly recommend.

I first came across Steve on Ebay last year when I moved into my bungalow and kept hold of his details. Fast forward a year, I checked Google reviews and finally contacted him sending measurements/photos and went to meet him when on holiday nearby. Steve was so helpful and came up with the exact kitchen plan I had in my head, two other companies couldn't do this, despite visiting my home and meeting with them. Took me a while to find a joiner and after lots of emails, Whatsapp messages and calls, I could actually place the order. All delivered to North East Scotland, a few doors followed on as were out of stock, a couple of damaged items replaced and when I needed a corner post and dishwasher door replacement due to longer screws being used in error, Steve was only too happy to send them. It's a very good quality kitchen at a great price and I'm not planning on needing another, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate on contacting SJB again. We got there in the end Steve, with hard work from my plasterer, joiner, plumber, electrician and flooring guys and I love my new kitchen, so thank you, hard to believe it's the same room ❤️
