I know that in areas like Altrincham, Hale, and Bowdon, property is a significant investment. The housing stock is incredibly varied, from the classic Edwardian semis and Victorian terraces to the latest executive new-builds. These homes deserve a kitchen that not only looks the part but is built to last. That’s where we come in. Because we work directly with our manufacturer, we can offer a level of quality and customisation that you just can’t get from the sheds. We’re not about selling you a standard, off-the-shelf solution; we’re about creating a kitchen that works for your home and your lifestyle.

Our Oldham showroom is just a straightforward drive from Altrincham, allowing you to come and see the quality for yourself. You can feel the weight of our 18mm Egger board, see the flawless finish on our doors, and test the smooth action of our Blum soft-close drawers. I personally invite you to visit our showroom and have a chat. We offer a free, no-obligation design service where we can take your ideas and turn them into a practical, beautiful kitchen plan that maximises your space and your budget. It’s this combination of competitive pricing, bespoke quality, and personal service that makes us the go-to choice for discerning homeowners in the Altrincham area.

When you’re investing in a new kitchen for your Altrincham home, the quality of the materials is paramount. That’s why we use only the best. Our carcasses are constructed from 18mm Egger or Kronospan board, recognised in the trade for its superior quality and durability. We use 18mm solid backs as standard throughout — not the thin hardboard panels you’ll find in many high-street kitchens. This creates a truly rigid-built unit that arrives fully assembled and ready to install, saving your fitter time and ensuring a perfect, long-lasting finish. It’s a difference you can feel immediately.

The details matter. We fit Blum soft-close hinges and drawer runners on all our kitchens as standard. This isn’t an expensive upgrade; it’s a mark of the quality we believe every kitchen should have. It ensures your doors and drawers close silently and smoothly, adding a touch of luxury to your everyday life. By building our kitchens to this high specification, we provide a product that not only looks fantastic in your Hale or Bowdon home but will withstand the rigours of family life for years to come, representing a sound investment in your property.

It’s one of the first questions I get asked, and it’s a fair one. For a typical kitchen in an Altrincham home — say 10 to 15 units in a standard semi or terrace — you’re generally looking at somewhere between £3,000 and £6,000 for the cabinets and hardware through SJB. That’s the supply-only cost, so you’d add your own worktops and fitting on top of that.

Compared to the big names like Howdens, Wren, or Magnet, our prices typically come in 30–50% cheaper on a like-for-like basis. The reason is straightforward: we supply direct, without the expensive showroom overheads and sales teams that inflate high-street prices. For the larger properties in Hale and Bowdon with more units and premium door choices, costs will naturally be higher — but you’ll still be getting significantly better value than the alternatives. If you want a proper quote tailored to your home, just get in touch and I’ll work it out with you. No guesswork, no hidden extras.

We understand that once you’ve finalised your kitchen design, you’re eager to get started. Because we’re based locally in Oldham, we can offer a swift and reliable delivery service to Altrincham and the surrounding areas, including Hale, Bowdon, Timperley, and Sale. Our standard lead time is just 10 working days from order to delivery, meaning your project can get underway without unnecessary delays. Your kitchen will arrive with all units pre-assembled and ready for your chosen installer to fit.

Our supply-only model is designed to give you maximum flexibility and value. By not employing our own fitting teams, we keep our overheads low and pass those savings directly on to you. It also means you have the freedom to choose your own trusted local tradesperson for the installation. We deliver directly to your door, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from our Oldham base to your home in Broadheath or the wider Altrincham area. We also offer nationwide delivery for those who need it.

The diverse architecture of Altrincham, from the period properties with their chimney breasts and alcoves to the ultra-modern apartments, often requires a more tailored approach to kitchen design. Standard-sized, flat-pack units just don’t work in these spaces. This is where our custom manufacturing capabilities really shine. We can build units to any height, width, or depth, allowing us to create a truly bespoke kitchen that makes the most of every inch of your room. This is particularly useful for the beautiful Edwardian and Victorian homes in the area, where non-standard dimensions are common.

With over 300 different carcass finishes and a wide range of door styles and colours, the customisation options are virtually endless. During our free design service, we can help you navigate these choices to create a look that is uniquely yours. Whether you’re in a modern apartment by the market needing a sleek, handleless design or a family home in Hale wanting a classic Shaker style, we can create the perfect kitchen to match your home’s character and your personal taste. Take a look at our trade kitchen cabinet page for more on the build quality we offer.

Do you have experience with kitchens for period properties in Hale and Bowdon?

Yes, absolutely. A large portion of our work involves creating kitchens for older properties, including the Edwardian and Victorian homes common in Hale and Bowdon. Our ability to create custom-sized cabinets is a huge advantage here, as we can work around awkward alcoves, chimney breasts, and non-standard ceiling heights to create a perfectly fitted, seamless look.

How does the quality of your kitchens compare to those in Altrincham’s high-end showrooms?

I’d say our quality is on par, if not better, but our prices are significantly lower — typically 30–50% cheaper than the big high-street names. We use the same premium materials like 18mm Egger board and Blum hardware, but because we work directly with our manufacturer and sell direct, we cut out the expensive showroom overheads and middleman costs. You get a top-tier kitchen at a genuinely competitive price.

Is it worth travelling from Altrincham to your Oldham showroom?

Definitely. It’s a straightforward journey, and seeing the kitchens in person makes all the difference. You can properly appreciate the solid construction and the quality of the finishes, which you can’t do online. It gives you complete confidence in what you’re ordering for your Altrincham home.

Can you deliver to a top-floor apartment near Altrincham Market?

Yes, we can deliver to any address in the Altrincham area, including apartments. We just ask that you inform us of any access restrictions, such as stairs or parking, when you place your order so we can make the necessary arrangements for a smooth delivery.

Do you supply kitchens for new-build properties in Timperley and Sale?

Yes, we supply kitchens across the whole Altrincham area including Timperley, Sale, Broadheath, and beyond. New-builds often have standard dimensions, which makes the process even more straightforward. We can have your kitchen delivered within 10 working days of order confirmation.
