When you’re dealing with homes in Hale Barns, quality isn’t something you compromise on. These properties demand kitchens that stand up to the rigours of busy family life and the occasional dinner party for the neighbours from Bowdon or Wilmslow. We don’t do flimsy bits and bobs here. The cabinets are made from solid 18mm Egger board with cam and dowel joints, rigid as anything, and paired with Blum soft-close hardware because who enjoys slamming doors? You can check out the quality for yourself at our Oldham showroom, just a short hop from Hale Barns. You won’t find any gimmicks, just honest, well-built kitchens that fit the standard these grand homes deserve.

Look, I’m not here to dazzle you with fancy buzzwords or talk about trends that’ll be out of fashion next year. Kitchens should be built to last, not to impress some pushy salesman. That means sturdy construction, smart hardware, and materials that won’t fall apart after a couple of years. All our cabinets use 18mm Egger board and cam and dowel joints – the kind of workmanship you can’t fake. Blum soft-close hinges keep things quiet too, which is a blessing when you’re up early and the rest of Hale Barns is still in bed. We keep it simple because that’s what works. You get a kitchen you can rely on, and a supplier who knows the difference between quality and fluff.

From first idea to final delivery, I make sure the process is straightforward and hassle-free. Start with a free design service – we’ll help you map out exactly what you want in your Hale Barns home, whether it’s a sprawling open-plan kitchen or a more compact setup for a Wilmslow apartment. Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll prepare your rigid-built cabinets, all made in Manchester, and ship them straight to you. We’re based in Oldham, so if you want a hands-on look, you can visit our showroom. We don’t do installation, so you’ll need your own fitter, but our supply-only model means you’re in control and not paying for stuff you don’t need. And yes, we deliver nationwide, but being close by means quicker turnarounds for local Hale Barns projects.

Buying a kitchen should be as smart as the kitchen itself. That’s why we offer a no-nonsense, supply-only model aimed squarely at homeowners who know what they want or have their own fitters lined up. You avoid inflated prices and get better value for your money. The free design service means you don’t need to faff about guessing measurements or styles – we help you get it right first time. Plus, with our rigid cabinetry and trusted Blum hardware, you’re getting quality without the sales spiel. If you’re in Hale Barns, or nearby spots like Altrincham or Alderley Edge, and want to skip the usual nonsense, drop us a line through our contact page or check out our DIY kitchen supplier info.

Do you offer bespoke kitchen designs for large Hale Barns homes?

Absolutely. Hale Barns homes often have generous spaces needing tailored solutions, and our free design service helps you create a bespoke kitchen that fits your exact requirements, whether it’s for an extension or a whole new build.

Can I visit your showroom to see the kitchen cabinets before buying?

Yes, our Oldham showroom is open for visits. It’s just a short drive from Hale Barns, so you can check out the quality of our rigid-built cabinets and Blum hardware in person before making any decisions.

Do you handle kitchen installation in Hale Barns?

We supply only – no installation. We recommend hiring a local, trusted fitter in Hale Barns or the surrounding areas like Bowdon or Altrincham to ensure your kitchen is installed correctly and efficiently.

How long does delivery take to Hale Barns?

Because we’re based in Oldham, delivery to Hale Barns is relatively quick compared to nationwide shipments. Typically, expect around 2-3 weeks from order confirmation to delivery, though we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Fantastic experience with Steve from start to finish. He designed an amazing kitchen in a small space and truly went above and beyond what I expected. He took the time to listen carefully to my ideas and requirements, and was never pushy throughout the process. His knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail really stood out at every stage. Everything was planned and executed with care, and he made sure even the smallest details were perfect. The end result is a beautifully designed, highly functional kitchen that I’m absolutely thrilled with. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After visiting a few "big brand" kitchen places & being absolutely gob smacked at the prices, the pushy salesmen & the amazing "discounts" they claimed were on for "1 week only".... I went searching for a small local business. I found SJB on eBay initially & then popped along to his Instagram account to have a nosey at his products etc. I dropped him a message & got a reply pretty much straight away. I sent our measurements, needs & ideas & Steve got to work & brought our design to life! He worked fast & was extremely helpful. He made changes if we wanted them, he went hunting for a particular handle I wanted (a lot cheaper too as 1 company wanted £12 a handle, Steve found them for just £4) We visited his show room to make sure because we weren't being charged the earth, we weren't getting a cheap / flimsy product. Well we absolutely weren't! We had a slight issue with one of the cabinets being damaged upon arrival, spoke to Steve, who immediately ordered a replacement to be sent. Steve was contactable throughout, nothing was too much trouble, & he's just a genuine nice guy, who runs a fantastic small business. 100% recommend using SJB Trade Kitchens especially over the giant money grabbing companies!

Steve is absolutely epic! Really nice guy. 100% genuine & to be trusted. Really easy to work with. Couldn't do enough and always on hand. The kitchen was amazing quality and the kitchen looked exactly like the images he produced on his computer. The units came ready built which saved a lot of time! Even if you're not a joiner it was really easy to assemble and fit. The kitchen is great quality and a VERY competitive price! 100% recommended! Thank you so much!

I cannot stress how happy I am with my kitchen from SJB. We didn’t had a great experience with our builder during the renovation of our house however the final kitchen made up for it. SJB offered high quality finishes at quick turnarounds and even made a custom made island which is better than I ever expected. I will be returning soon to SJB for my bedroom wardrobes!

I came across SJB on Ebay, and contacted Steve. He was very helpful in inviting us to his kitchen showroom to look at the various kitchens. This helped  a lot as he was on site to talk us through ideas and suggestions. We chose, what we thought, a relatively priced kitchen as it was for a rental property, but the finished result has been just amazing! It looks so expensive, even the fitter said it was very good quality for a fraction of what other places charge. Steve kindly designed the kitchen, gave us good ideas and was always available on the phone if we ever needed advice. I have never purchased a kitchen without the company providing a fitter as I have always doubted if the kitchen would fit how it should, but this has completely changed my perception. It has been flawless and friends and family have compared it to their much more expensive ones, saying this looks amazing and better than theirs! If you need a kitchen, with a gentleman that goes over and above, SJB is the place to go. You will not be disappointed, the whole process has been stress free thanks to Steve, I honestly cannot thank him enough for all his efforts and kindness. We hope to come back very soon!

I've worked in the building trade for over 20 years, the kitchen supplied by Steven was a better quality then a Howdens or magnet kitchen and also a good bit cheaper. Steven's easy to deal with, everything arrived as quoted no problems no damaged items and on the exact day specified. Would highly recommend.

I first came across Steve on Ebay last year when I moved into my bungalow and kept hold of his details. Fast forward a year, I checked Google reviews and finally contacted him sending measurements/photos and went to meet him when on holiday nearby. Steve was so helpful and came up with the exact kitchen plan I had in my head, two other companies couldn't do this, despite visiting my home and meeting with them. Took me a while to find a joiner and after lots of emails, Whatsapp messages and calls, I could actually place the order. All delivered to North East Scotland, a few doors followed on as were out of stock, a couple of damaged items replaced and when I needed a corner post and dishwasher door replacement due to longer screws being used in error, Steve was only too happy to send them. It's a very good quality kitchen at a great price and I'm not planning on needing another, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate on contacting SJB again. We got there in the end Steve, with hard work from my plasterer, joiner, plumber, electrician and flooring guys and I love my new kitchen, so thank you, hard to believe it's the same room ❤️
