Bespoke Kitchen Units Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne has one of the most distinctive housing stocks in the north of England, dominated by the iconic Tyneside flat — a unique form of housing found almost exclusively in Tyne and Wear, where two flats are stacked vertically within a terraced house, each with its own front door. These properties, along with the Victorian terraces of Jesmond and Heaton, the Edwardian semis of Gosforth and Fenham, and the modern developments of Quayside and Ouseburn, each present their own kitchen challenges that standard cabinet dimensions cannot address.

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 Tyneside flat in Heaton, a rear extension in Jesmond, or a modern apartment on the Quayside, our rigid-built units are made to fit your space precisely and priced transparently — 30-50% cheaper than Howdens.

Our Oldham showroom is approximately 1.5 hours from Newcastle via the A1(M). Nationwide delivery is available from as little as 10 working days.

Newcastle’s Tyneside flats are a unique housing form with kitchen layouts that rarely match standard cabinet dimensions. The ground floor flats in particular often have narrow, galley-style kitchens with low ceilings and restricted access, while the upper flats frequently have non-standard ceiling heights and awkward staircase configurations that affect kitchen layout.

The city’s Victorian terraces in Jesmond, Heaton, and Byker often have kitchens in rear additions with sloping rooflines or non-standard ceiling heights. Our made-to-measure approach means every cabinet is built to the millimetre, with no awkward filler panels or wasted space.

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.
