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

Looking for quality kitchen units in Blackpool? I’m Steve — a kitchen specialist based in Oldham, about 50 miles from Blackpool. For over 20 years, I’ve been supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units to homeowners across Lancashire, and I know the Blackpool area well.

Blackpool’s housing stock is as varied as the town itself. From the grand Victorian terraces near the seafront to the family suburbs of Marton and Layton, there’s a wide range of properties — and every one of them needs a kitchen that can handle the demands of coastal living. Salt air and moisture can be tough on cheap kitchen units, which is why 18mm solid carcasses with proper backs are so important here.

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.

A kitchen specialist, not a chain. I’m Steve, and I’ve been in the kitchen industry for over 20 years. I work directly with our manufacturer to supply rigid-built units at prices that undercut Howdens by 30-50%. When you buy from SJB, you’re dealing with someone who genuinely knows kitchens — not a sales team working to targets.

Built to last in Blackpool. Blackpool’s housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront, 1930s semis in Marton and Layton, bungalows in Bispham and Norbreck, and modern apartments along the promenade. These properties need kitchen units that can handle real life — and that means 18mm carcasses with solid 18mm backs, not the 3mm hardboard that Howdens and Wren use. My units are rigid built, not flat-pack, and they arrive fully assembled and ready for installation.

Every unit made to your measurements. No two kitchens are the same — especially in Blackpool, where the housing stock spans several eras. Every SJB unit is made to order with custom heights, depths, and widths. Whether you need a narrow base unit for a tight corner or a full-height larder for a spacious kitchen-diner, it’s all made to your exact specifications.

Blum hardware as standard. Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawer systems are included on every unit — not offered as an expensive upgrade. This is the same hardware used in premium German kitchens, and it’s built to last hundreds of thousands of cycles.

Visit the showroom. The showroom is at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB — around 1 hour 10 minutes from Blackpool. Come in, see the carcass quality, feel the Blum hardware, and look at over 300 MFC finishes. No appointment needed.

Victorian terraces (Near the seafront, South Shore, North Shore) — Grand period properties with generous kitchens — full-height units and larder towers make the most of the high ceilings

1930s semis (Marton, Layton, Staining) — Family homes with practical kitchens — rigid-built units with Blum soft-close hardware stand up to years of daily use

Bungalows (Bispham, Norbreck, Anchorsholme) — Single-storey living where the kitchen is the heart of the home — made-to-order units maximise the available space

Modern apartments (Promenade, town centre) — Coastal apartments need kitchens built to withstand moisture — 18mm carcasses with solid backs won’t warp or bow like cheaper alternatives

The kitchen units Steve supplies to Blackpool 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 Blackpool 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 Blackpool address.

Planning a new kitchen in Blackpool? Here are some practical tips from Steve’s 20+ years of experience.

Measure twice, order once. Accurate measurements are the foundation of a great kitchen. Steve can talk you through exactly how to measure your room — or you can bring your measurements to the Oldham showroom and he’ll check them with you.

Think about workflow. The classic kitchen triangle — sink, hob, fridge — still matters. A well-planned layout makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. Steve’s CAD design service helps you visualise the workflow before you commit.

Don’t forget storage. Larder towers, deep drawers, and corner carousel units can dramatically increase your storage capacity. Made-to-order means you can have exactly the storage solutions your kitchen needs.

Consider the lighting. Under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights over an island, and task lighting above the worktops all make a huge difference. Plan your electrics before the kitchen goes in.

Choose your style early. Whether you prefer the warmth of a painted shaker or the clean lines of a handleless design, choosing your door style early helps guide the rest of the design process. Steve has six ranges to choose from, each available in a wide selection of colours.

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 1 hour 10 minutes from Blackpool), 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 Blackpool 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.

One of the most common questions Steve gets from Blackpool 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.

Blackpool’s coastal environment means moisture resistance matters. Our 18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs are far more resistant to warping than the 3mm hardboard backs used by Howdens.

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.
