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

I’m Steve — a kitchen specialist with over 20 years’ experience, based in Oldham, about 14 miles from Poynton. I supply made-to-order, rigid-built kitchen units directly to homeowners in Poynton and across Cheshire. No trade card needed, no middleman — just quality units at transparent prices.

Poynton is a prosperous village on the Cheshire-Stockport border, popular with families and commuters. The proximity of Lyme Park and the Peak District gives it a semi-rural feel, while the excellent schools and transport links make it highly practical. Property values here are strong, and homeowners invest in quality renovations. SJB’s rigid-built kitchen units offer the quality Poynton homeowners expect — at 30-50% less than the premium showroom suppliers.

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 Cheshire housing. With over 20 years in the kitchen industry, I’ve supplied units to every type of property across Cheshire. From compact terraced kitchens to spacious family kitchen-diners, I understand the challenges and opportunities that Poynton 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. Poynton has 1930s semis and detached homes in the village centre, larger properties along Park Lane and Dickens Lane, stone-built cottages towards Lyme Park, and some newer developments. 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.

1930s semis and detached homes (Village centre, London Road, Coppice Road) — Poynton’s core housing stock — spacious kitchens that work brilliantly with rigid-built units and Blum soft-close hardware

Larger properties (Park Lane, Dickens Lane, Towers Road) — Premium homes with generous kitchen-diners — island units, larder towers, and full-height cabinets all made to your exact specifications

Stone cottages (Towards Lyme Park, Higher Poynton) — Character properties with non-standard dimensions — made-to-order units ensure a perfect fit in these older buildings

Newer developments (Poynton outskirts, Woodford) — Modern homes that deserve better than developer-grade kitchens — 18mm Egger carcasses are a genuine step up

Every kitchen unit supplied to Poynton homes meets the same exacting specification:

18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses — not the 15mm or 16mm chipboard used by many competitors. The full 18mm thickness provides superior rigidity and durability, and the quality of Egger and Kronospan board is recognised across the industry.

18mm solid backs — this is one of the biggest differences between SJB and Howdens. Howdens uses 3mm hardboard backs on their units. SJB uses 18mm solid backs — the same thickness as the carcass itself. This keeps the unit perfectly square and rigid for decades, preventing the bowing and sagging that plagues cheaper kitchens.

Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawers — Blum is the gold standard in kitchen hardware. Every SJB unit comes with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems as standard. These are engineered to last hundreds of thousands of cycles — far beyond the lifetime of the kitchen itself.

Over 300 MFC carcass finishes — with colour-coordinated edging to match. Carcasses are available in over 300 MFC finishes from Egger and Kronospan, from classic whites and creams to bold contemporary colours, woodgrains, and concrete effects. Door styles — Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil — each have their own colour options.

Rigid construction — every unit arrives fully assembled, not flat-pack. This means stronger joints, better alignment, and a kitchen that’s ready for your fitter to install straight from the delivery van.

One of the most common questions Steve gets from Poynton 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.

With over 300 MFC carcass finishes and six door style ranges, choosing the right look for your Poynton kitchen can feel overwhelming. Here’s Steve’s guide to narrowing down the options.

For period properties: Painted Shaker doors in heritage colours work beautifully in Victorian terraces and older stone-built homes. Think warm greys, muted blues, sage greens, and classic creams. The shaker profile adds depth and character that complements period architecture.

For modern homes: Handleless Matt or Handleless Gloss doors create clean, contemporary lines. Matt finishes in neutral tones like cashmere, stone grey, or graphite are currently very popular. Gloss finishes in white or cream brighten smaller kitchens and create a sense of space.

For open-plan living: Slab Matt or Slab Gloss doors offer a minimalist aesthetic that works well in kitchen-diners and open-plan spaces. The flat door profile keeps the visual lines clean and uncluttered.

For value: Shaker Foil doors give you the classic shaker look at a lower price point. They’re available in a range of colours and are particularly popular for rental properties and first-time renovations.

For carcasses: Over 300 MFC finishes from Egger and Kronospan, all with colour-coordinated edging. You can match the carcass to the doors for a seamless look, or choose a contrasting interior for a designer touch.

In an age of disposable furniture, SJB kitchen units are designed to last. Here’s why that matters for Poynton homeowners — and for the environment.

20-year lifespan vs 5-year replacement. A cheap flat-pack kitchen might need replacing after 5-7 years as the hardboard backs bow, the cam locks loosen, and the budget hinges wear out. An SJB rigid-built kitchen with 18mm backs and Blum hardware will last 20 years or more. That’s three or four cheap kitchens you won’t need to buy — and three or four kitchens that won’t end up in landfill.

Quality materials from responsible sources. Egger and Kronospan are both committed to responsible forestry and sustainable manufacturing. The MFC boards used in SJB kitchens are produced to exacting environmental standards.

Blum hardware: built for a lifetime. Blum tests its hinges and drawer systems to withstand hundreds of thousands of cycles — far beyond what any kitchen will experience in normal use. This means no replacement hinges, no failed drawer runners, and no unnecessary waste.

Made to order means no waste. Every SJB kitchen is built to your exact specifications. There are no surplus units, no off-cuts from standard sizes, and no wasted materials. You get exactly what you need, and nothing goes to waste.

A kitchen that adds value. A well-built kitchen adds genuine value to your Poynton home. If you ever sell, a rigid-built kitchen with quality hardware is a genuine selling point — unlike a tired flat-pack kitchen that puts buyers off.

Poynton’s proximity to Lyme Park means many homes have views of the Cheshire countryside. A handleless matt kitchen in a soft, natural tone creates a calm, contemporary space that complements the semi-rural setting.

How much cheaper are you than Howdens?
Typically 30-50% cheaper for a comparable kitchen — and our specification is actually higher. We use 18mm backs where Howdens uses 3mm hardboard, and Blum hardware comes as standard rather than as an upgrade.

What’s the quality of the drawer systems?
Every SJB kitchen uses Blum Antaro drawer systems as standard. These are full-extension, soft-close drawers with a clean, modern design. They’re engineered to handle heavy loads and last for the lifetime of the kitchen — far superior to the budget drawer runners used by most competitors.
