I’m Steve, and I supply rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units to homes across London from my small showroom in Oldham. I know what you’re thinking — Oldham to London sounds like a stretch. It isn’t. I deliver nationwide, and I’ve supplied kitchens to homes from Hackney to Bromley, Clapham to Walthamstow. The quality is the same wherever you are, and the price is still 30–50% cheaper than what you’d pay at Howdens or Wren.

London’s housing stock is one of the most varied in the country. You’ve got Victorian terraces with narrow galley kitchens in Islington and Hackney, Georgian townhouses in Kensington and Notting Hill, 1930s semis in Croydon and Bromley, converted warehouses in Bermondsey and Shoreditch, and new-build flats in Stratford and Canary Wharf. Every one of those property types has different requirements — different ceiling heights, different wall angles, different space constraints. Standard off-the-shelf units from the big sheds simply don’t cut it. Made-to-order does.

Every unit I supply uses 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs and Blum soft-close hardware as standard. These aren’t flat-pack units you’ll be assembling on the kitchen floor — they arrive fully built and ready for your fitter to install.

Why London Homeowners Choose SJB

Space is at a premium in London — so every millimetre matters. In a Victorian terrace in Hackney or a converted flat in Peckham, you can’t afford to lose 50mm to a standard unit that doesn’t quite fit. I make units to your exact measurements, so every inch of your kitchen space is used properly. If you need a 450mm unit where a standard 500mm won’t fit, I can do it. If you need a taller wall cabinet to make use of high ceilings in a Georgian property, I can do it.

London property prices mean your kitchen needs to last. You’re not going to spend serious money on a house in Clapham and then put a flat-pack kitchen in it. The rigid-built construction I use — with 18mm solid backs and Blum hardware — is built to last decades, not years. It’s the same quality you’d find in a premium kitchen costing three times the price.

You don’t need a trade card. Howdens won’t sell to you without one. I will. You get the same trade-quality product at a genuinely fair price, with no hoops to jump through.

Your fitter can install it. I’m a supply-only business. You use your own fitter — whether that’s someone you already know and trust, or a local tradesperson in your area. I’m not trying to sell you an installation package on top of the kitchen.

London Property Types — Kitchen Units That Fit

Victorian and Edwardian terraces (Hackney, Islington, Brixton, Lewisham, Peckham) — These properties typically have narrow kitchens, often in a galley layout or L-shape. Standard 600mm units can leave awkward gaps. Made-to-order units mean a seamless fit from wall to wall.

Georgian townhouses (Kensington, Notting Hill, Islington, Bloomsbury) — High ceilings mean you can go taller with wall units and really make use of the vertical space. I can supply tall wall cabinets and larder units to maximise storage in these properties.

1930s semis (Croydon, Bromley, Barnet, Enfield, Ealing) — These kitchens are often larger than Victorian terraces but still benefit from made-to-measure units. The typical 1930s semi has a separate kitchen with good proportions — ideal for a full kitchen refit.

Converted warehouses and lofts (Bermondsey, Shoreditch, Hackney Wick, Battersea) — Open-plan living means the kitchen is on show. You want something that looks genuinely high-end. My handleless matt and gloss ranges look stunning in these spaces.

New-build flats (Stratford, Canary Wharf, Nine Elms, Wembley) — Developer kitchens are notoriously poor quality. Replacing them with rigid-built units is one of the best investments you can make in a new-build flat.

Ex-council properties (Lambeth, Southwark, Hackney, Tower Hamlets) — Often have non-standard layouts with awkward corners and chimney breasts. Made-to-order means I can work around whatever the original builders left you with.

Kitchen Unit Styles for London Homes

London’s housing stock is incredibly diverse, which means no single kitchen style dominates. The handleless matt ranges look brilliant in modern Canary Wharf apartments and converted Bermondsey warehouses, while the classic shaker doors are perfect for Victorian terraces in Hackney or Georgian townhouses in Islington. Here’s a quick overview of the ranges I supply — click any image to see the full spec and colour options.

Ordering Kitchen Units for London — How It Works

Here’s how it works.

Start with a call or the form below. Ring me on 0161 509 4221 or fill in the form. Tell me about your property — whether it’s a Victorian terrace in Hackney, a conversion in Bermondsey, or a new-build flat in Stratford. The more detail you give me, the better the quote I can put together.

I’ll produce a full design and itemised quote. Send me your room measurements and I’ll put together a proper kitchen plan. You’ll get a clear, itemised breakdown of every unit, every panel, every accessory. No vague estimates, no builder’s markup on top.

Production and delivery. Once you confirm your order, your units go into production. Delivery to London typically takes 10–12 working days from order confirmation. Your units arrive fully assembled — rigid-built, not flat-pack — and ready for your fitter to install straight away.

Finding a fitter in London. I don’t supply fitting, but I’m happy to advise on what to look for. London has no shortage of kitchen fitters — just make sure yours has experience with rigid-built carcasses rather than flat-pack, as the installation process is different.

You’re welcome to visit the showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB before you order. It’s about 3 hours from central London, so most of my London customers order on the strength of the reviews and specs — but the door is always open.
