A Supply Partner You Can Rely On for Multi-Unit Projects

For property developers, landlords, and HMO managers, sourcing kitchens for multiple properties presents a unique set of challenges. You need a supply partner who can deliver consistent quality, adhere to strict timelines, and provide transparent pricing that makes budgeting simple. At SJB Trade Kitchens, we specialise in supplying rigid-built, made-to-order kitchens for the trade sector. With over 20 years of experience, our founder, Steve, understands that for multi-unit projects, reliability isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. We provide a streamlined service that eliminates the common frustrations of working with volume suppliers, ensuring you receive precisely what you need, when you need it.

Our commitment is to provide durable, high-quality products that stand up to the demands of the rental market. Unlike the flat-pack kitchens offered by many competitors, our cabinets are supplied fully assembled and rigid, built from high-density 18mm Egger or Kronospan board with solid 18mm backs. This robust construction significantly reduces installation time and minimises the risk of future maintenance issues, protecting your investment and ensuring tenant satisfaction. Whether you’re outfitting a new development of a dozen homes or refurbishing a portfolio of buy-to-let properties, you can count on SJB for consistent quality across every single cabinet.

Made to Order: The Perfect Fit for Every Property

One of the greatest challenges in multi-unit projects is dealing with variations in room size and layout. Off-the-shelf kitchen ranges often force compromises, leading to wasted space, awkward filler panels, and a finish that lacks professional polish. SJB Trade Kitchens solves this problem by offering a truly made-to-order service. We can manufacture cabinets to custom heights, depths, and widths, allowing you to create a perfectly integrated kitchen in any space. This is particularly valuable for HMO conversions, quirky period properties, or modern developments with unconventional layouts.

This flexibility means you can maximise storage and functionality in every unit, increasing its appeal to potential tenants. Instead of being limited by standard modular sizes, you can design kitchens that work for the property, not the other way around. Our direct supply model ensures that this level of customisation is not only possible but also affordable, providing a significant advantage over the one-size-fits-all approach of suppliers like Howdens. With access to over 300 MFC finishes, you can also offer a variety of styles across a development while maintaining cost control through a single, reliable supplier.

Transparent Pricing for Accurate Project Budgeting

Budgeting is critical for developers and landlords. The opaque pricing models and “exclusive” trade discounts offered by many national suppliers can make it incredibly difficult to forecast costs accurately, especially across a multi-unit portfolio. At SJB, we believe in a different approach. We offer completely transparent pricing from the outset, allowing you to budget with confidence and clarity. Our quotes are detailed and itemised, with no hidden charges or last-minute surprises, ensuring you know exactly what you are paying for.

This transparency means you can save 30-50% compared to typical Howdens pricing without sacrificing quality. For a developer building multiple houses or a landlord refurbishing several flats, these savings add up significantly, directly improving your project’s bottom line. We provide a clear, honest, and straightforward service that empowers you to make informed purchasing decisions.

Built for the Rental Market & HMOs

Kitchens in rental properties and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) face far greater wear and tear than those in a typical family home. Durability is not just a feature; it’s essential for protecting your yield and minimising void periods. Our rigid-built cabinets are specifically engineered to withstand the rigours of the rental market. The cam and dowel construction, combined with 18mm solid backs, creates an incredibly strong and stable unit that won’t fail under heavy use. This is a world away from the cam-and-dowel flat-pack units that quickly suffer from sagging shelves and warped doors.

Furthermore, we fit industry-leading Blum soft-close hinges and Antaro drawers as standard. This isn’t an expensive upgrade; it’s part of our core commitment to quality. This premium hardware ensures doors and drawers close smoothly and silently, preventing the slamming that leads to long-term damage. For landlords, this means fewer maintenance call-outs, longer-lasting kitchens, and happier tenants. Investing in an SJB kitchen is a smart financial decision that pays dividends over the entire life of your property investment. We also supply to the self-build sector, where quality and durability are equally paramount.
