Kitchens Kent | SJB Trade Kitchens

Kent’s housing stock is as varied as the county itself — from the medieval timber-framed cottages of the Weald and the Georgian townhouses of Canterbury and Rochester to the Victorian terraces of Chatham and Gravesend, the Edwardian semis of Tonbridge and Sevenoaks, and the modern estates spreading across Ashford and Ebbsfleet. The period properties present kitchens with low beams, uneven floors, thick walls, and irregular alcoves that standard flat-pack units simply cannot accommodate. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces across the Medway towns feature compact rear kitchens with chimney breast recesses and narrow extensions that demand precise measurements. Kent’s growing number of new-build developments — particularly around the Ebbsfleet Garden City and Kings Hill — require contemporary designs that maximise open-plan living. Made-to-measure kitchen units are the practical solution for all of Kent’s diverse 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 Kent and the wider South East. 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 cottage in Cranbrook, a developer fitting out new homes in Ashford, or a homeowner extending a semi in Maidstone, we build to your exact dimensions at no extra charge.

Delivery to Kent typically takes around 10 working days from order confirmation. Our showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB is approximately four hours from Kent by road via the M6 and M25. If visiting is not practical, we can post door and finish samples directly to your Kent address. Choose from over 300 MFC carcass finishes and door styles including Painted Shaker, Handleless Matt, Handleless Gloss, Slab Matt, Slab Gloss, and Shaker Foil. Our kitchen specialist works with our manufacturer to ensure every order is right first time. Call 0161 509 4221 to discuss your Kent kitchen project.

Can you supply kitchens for the timber-framed cottages in the Kent Weald?

Yes. The medieval and Tudor cottages across the Weald — in villages like Cranbrook, Goudhurst, and Biddenden — often have low beams, uneven floors, and irregular walls. Because every unit is made to order, we can reduce heights, adjust widths, and build around beams precisely — something standard flat-pack units simply cannot do.

How long does delivery take to Kent?

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

Can you make units for the Victorian terraces in the Medway towns?

Absolutely. The Victorian terraces across Chatham, Rochester, and Gillingham typically have compact rear kitchens with chimney breast alcoves. We build every unit to your exact measurements so cabinets slot perfectly into these recesses — no filler panels, no visible gaps, and no wasted space.

How do your prices compare to Kent kitchen showrooms?

Our rigid-built, made-to-measure units are priced 30-50% cheaper than Howdens, all year round. Unlike many Kent kitchen showrooms, we do not charge a premium for the postcode. Every unit includes 18mm solid backs (not hardboard), Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawer boxes as standard.

Can you supply kitchens for new-build developments in Ashford or Ebbsfleet?

Yes. We supply kitchens for developers and housebuilders across Kent, from single plots to multi-unit developments. Our made-to-measure approach means every kitchen can be sized precisely to the architect’s drawings, and our pricing makes volume projects highly cost-effective.
