Rigid Kitchen Units Newcastle
Rigid Kitchen Units Supplied Direct to Newcastle
Newcastle’s housing stock is rich and varied. The elegant Georgian and Victorian terraces of Jesmond are among the most desirable addresses in the North East, while the Tyneside flats of Heaton and Byker are a housing type unique to the region — two self-contained flats stacked within a single terrace. The suburbs of Gosforth and Ponteland offer interwar semis and modern family homes, and the Quayside and Ouseburn Valley have seen significant apartment and conversion development in recent years.
SJB Trade Kitchens supplies rigid kitchen units direct to homeowners and tradespeople across Newcastle and the wider North East. Newcastle is around 2 hours 30 minutes from our Oldham showroom, and the region’s distinctive housing types — particularly the Tyneside flat — make our made-to-order approach especially valuable. We supply rigid-built cabinets with 18mm backs, Blum soft-close hinges, and Blum Antaro drawers as standard, all at prices 30–50% cheaper than Howdens.
We supply rigid-built kitchen cabinets made to your exact measurements, with over 100 door styles to choose from. Every order comes with a free design service, a detailed quote within 24 hours, and delivery in as little as 10 working days.

What's Included in Every Rigid Kitchen Unit?
Every kitchen we supply is built around rigid-construction carcasses, made from 18mm Egger or Kronospan board with cam and dowel assembly. These are fully assembled cabinets — not flat-pack. They arrive ready to install, which makes the fitter’s job faster and easier, and means there’s no risk of a cabinet being assembled incorrectly on site.
One of the things that sets us apart from the big-box retailers is our 18mm backs — not hardboard. Most budget kitchen suppliers use thin hardboard backs to cut costs. Every cabinet we supply has a solid 18mm back, giving the carcass genuine structural rigidity and a far longer lifespan.
All cabinets come fitted with Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer systems as standard. Blum is the gold standard in kitchen hardware — their hinges and drawers carry a lifetime guarantee. This isn’t an upgrade or an optional extra. It comes as standard on every cabinet we supply. If you want to go further, we also offer dovetail solid oak drawer boxes as a premium upgrade.
Doors are available in over 100 styles — gloss, matt, shaker, handleless, painted and more — all made to your exact measurements. If your kitchen has an awkward alcove, a sloping ceiling, or a non-standard dimension, we can accommodate it. Every cabinet is made to the millimetre, not to the nearest standard size.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rigid Kitchen Units Newcastle
Are rigid kitchen units suitable for Tyneside flats in Newcastle?
They are an excellent choice. Tyneside flats — the two-storey terraced flats found across Heaton, Byker, and Fenham — typically have compact kitchens with non-standard dimensions. Our made-to-order rigid units can be built to the exact measurements of these spaces, making full use of every available inch.
How long does delivery take to Newcastle?
We deliver to Newcastle in as little as 10 working days from order confirmation. Newcastle is around 2 hours 30 minutes from our Oldham base via the A1(M), and we deliver to the North East regularly.
What kitchen styles suit the Victorian terraces in Jesmond?
Jesmond’s Victorian terraces suit shaker painted kitchens in heritage colours — deep blues, soft greys, and sage greens are popular choices. The generous proportions of these properties allow for full-height wall units and statement islands. Dovetail solid oak drawer boxes add a premium touch that complements the period architecture.
Do you supply rigid units for developments along the Quayside?
Yes. We work with developers across Newcastle, including projects along the Quayside and in the Ouseburn Valley. Our made-to-order sizing is ideal for apartment kitchens where space is at a premium, and our 10 working day lead time supports tight development schedules.
Can I visit your showroom from Newcastle?
You are welcome to visit our showroom at Unit N, Central Trading Estate, Coulton Close, Oldham, OL1 4EB — it is around 2 hours 30 minutes from Newcastle. Alternatively, we handle the entire process remotely for most North East customers, with door samples posted and a full design and quote provided within 24 hours.
