Kitchens Edinburgh | SJB Trade Kitchens

Edinburgh’s architectural heritage is among the finest in the UK, and its housing stock presents unique challenges for kitchen fitting. The Georgian and Victorian tenement flats of Marchmont, Bruntsfield, and Morningside feature high ceilings, deep press cupboards, and thick stone walls that make standard flat-pack units impractical. In the New Town, the grand Georgian townhouses of Stockbridge and Inverleith have kitchens set in basement or lower-ground-floor levels with vaulted ceilings and irregular alcoves. The stone-built Victorian villas of Corstorphine and Murrayfield offer more conventional layouts but still frequently include chimney breast recesses and bay window returns that demand precise measurements. Meanwhile, the modern developments in Granton, Leith, and the Edinburgh Park corridor call for sleek, contemporary designs that make the most of open-plan living. Made-to-measure kitchen units are the practical solution for all of these Edinburgh property types — every cabinet built to the exact millimetre, with no filler panels and no wasted space.

SJB Trade Kitchens is a kitchen specialist supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units across Edinburgh and the whole of Scotland. Every unit features 18mm Egger or Kronospan carcasses with solid 18mm backs — not cheap hardboard — and comes with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer boxes as standard. We supply units direct at 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, with transparent pricing and no inflated list prices. Whether you are a trade fitter renovating a tenement flat in Leith, a landlord refurbishing a student let in Newington, or a homeowner extending a villa in Colinton, our units are built to your exact specification at no extra cost for custom sizing.

Can you supply kitchens for Edinburgh tenement flats with high ceilings and press cupboards?

Yes. Edinburgh tenement flats are one of the most common property types we supply for in Scotland. We build tall wall units and larder cabinets to take full advantage of high ceilings, and we can size units precisely to fit around existing press cupboard openings and deep stone alcoves — all at no extra charge for custom dimensions.

How long does delivery take to Edinburgh?

Delivery to Edinburgh typically takes around 10 working days from order confirmation. We use a specialist pallet courier service that covers the whole of Scotland, and our kitchen specialist will confirm the exact delivery window once your order is placed.

Do you supply kitchens for listed buildings in Edinburgh’s New Town?

Absolutely. We regularly supply units for listed properties and conservation area homes across Edinburgh. Because our units are made to measure and arrive fully assembled, they can be installed without structural alterations — ideal where planning restrictions apply. Painted Shaker doors are a particularly popular choice for period Edinburgh properties.

Are your kitchens suitable for the modern apartments in Leith and Granton?

Yes. Our Handleless Matt and Slab Matt door ranges are ideal for the contemporary open-plan layouts found in Edinburgh’s newer developments. We build to any dimension, so units can be sized precisely to fit around structural columns, service risers, and other features common in apartment kitchens.

Every unit includes 18mm solid backs (not hardboard), Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawer boxes as standard.
