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

Looking for quality kitchen units in Droylsden? I’m Steve — a kitchen specialist based in Oldham, about 5 miles from Droylsden. For over 20 years, I’ve been supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units to homeowners across Greater Manchester, and I know the Droylsden area well.

Droylsden has benefited enormously from the Metrolink extension, bringing new investment and a younger demographic to the area. The canal-side location adds character, and property values have risen steadily. Homeowners here are increasingly looking to upgrade their kitchens — and they want quality without paying over the odds.

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.

I know Greater Manchester housing. With over 20 years in the kitchen industry, I’ve supplied units to every type of property across Greater Manchester. From compact terraced kitchens to spacious family kitchen-diners, I understand the challenges and opportunities that Droylsden homes present.

Superior construction. Every SJB kitchen unit uses 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs. Compare that to Howdens’ 3mm hardboard backs and you’ll understand why our units stay square and solid for decades. Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawer systems come as standard — not as a paid upgrade.

Custom sizing for every property. Droylsden has Victorian terraces near the canal, 1930s semis in the residential areas, post-war housing around the Snipe estate, and newer developments near the Metrolink. Standard kitchen sizes don’t work in most of these properties. Every SJB unit is made to order with custom heights, depths, and widths, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of your property type.

Save 30-50% vs Howdens. Our transparent pricing means you see exactly what you’re paying for. No trade card markup, no showroom overheads to cover. The result is a genuinely better kitchen at a significantly lower price.

Personal service from start to finish. When you call 0161 509 4221, you speak to me — Steve — not a call centre. I design every kitchen personally using CAD software, and I’m with you from the first conversation to delivery day.

Victorian terraces (Near the canal, Market Street area) — Period properties with compact kitchens — made-to-measure units maximise storage in these characterful homes

1930s semis (Residential streets, Greenside Lane area) — Well-proportioned family kitchens where rigid-built units provide decades of reliable daily use

Post-war housing (Snipe estate, Lumb Lane area) — These homes were built to last — and they deserve kitchen units built to the same standard

Newer developments (Near the Metrolink, canal-side) — Modern homes with developer kitchens that can be significantly improved with 18mm rigid units and Blum hardware

Here’s exactly what you get when you order kitchen units from SJB for your Droylsden home:

Premium carcass material. 18mm Egger and Kronospan MFC — two of the most respected board manufacturers in Europe. The 18mm thickness provides exceptional strength and durability, and every carcass includes a full 18mm solid back panel (not the 3mm hardboard used by Howdens and most other suppliers).

Industry-leading hardware. Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems are fitted as standard to every unit. There’s no upgrade charge, no premium tier — every SJB kitchen gets Blum hardware. The Antaro drawer system in particular is a genuine luxury feature: full extension, soft close, and a clean, contemporary design.

True made-to-order service. Your kitchen is built to your exact measurements. Need a 487mm wide base unit to fill an awkward gap? No problem. Need reduced-depth wall units for a narrow kitchen? Done. Custom heights for under-window units? Of course. This level of customisation is essential for Droylsden’s varied housing stock.

Extensive finish range. Carcasses are available in over 300 MFC finishes from the Egger and Kronospan ranges, all with colour-coordinated edging for a seamless look. Six door style ranges — Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil — cover everything from traditional to ultra-modern.

Delivered rigid built. Every unit arrives fully assembled — not flat-pack. Rigid construction means stronger joints, better squareness, and a kitchen that will last 20 years or more without the sagging and flexing that flat-pack units develop over 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 12 minutes from Droylsden), 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 Droylsden 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 Droylsden 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.

Droylsden’s canal-side properties have a unique charm. A handleless kitchen in a cool grey or blue tone complements the waterside setting and creates a calm, contemporary living space.

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.

What about corner units?
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.

What if I need to change my order?
Because every kitchen is made to order, Steve works closely with you to get the design right before production begins. If you need to make changes during the design stage, that’s no problem at all. Once production starts, changes become more difficult — which is why the design stage is so thorough.

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 I need a trade card to buy from SJB?
No. Unlike Howdens, you don’t need a trade card or any special account. Steve sells directly to homeowners at transparent, fair prices. What you see on the quote is what you pay — no hidden costs, no middleman markup.
