Trade Price Kitchens — 18mm Rigid Units at Trade Prices, Supplied Direct to Your Door

What Are Trade Price Kitchens?
Trade price kitchens are premium kitchen units sold at the same prices tradespeople and kitchen fitters pay — without the retail markup that high street showrooms add. For decades, homeowners have been paying inflated prices for kitchens that pass through multiple layers of middlemen before reaching their home. SJB Trade Kitchens removes those layers entirely.
Run by Steve Ball, an independent kitchen specialist with over 20 years in the industry, SJB works directly with a trusted manufacturer to supply rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen cabinets at genuine trade prices. Every unit features 18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses with full 18mm solid backs — not the thin hardboard panels found in many high street kitchens. Blum soft-close hinges and Blum Antaro drawer boxes come as standard, and custom heights, depths, and widths are included at no extra charge.
The difference is not just in the specification — it is in the pricing model. There are no perpetual “sales,” no inflated RRPs, and no pressure tactics. SJB offers transparent pricing all year round, typically 30–50% cheaper than Howdens on a like-for-like basis. Kitchens are delivered nationwide from as little as 10 working days, arriving fully rigid-built and ready for your fitter to install.

Why Are SJB Kitchens at Trade Prices?
Most kitchen showrooms operate with enormous overheads — expensive retail units, large sales teams, glossy advertising campaigns, and perpetual “sale” events designed to make inflated prices look like bargains. All of those costs are ultimately passed on to you, the customer.
SJB Trade Kitchens works differently. Steve works directly with a trusted manufacturer based right next door to supply rigid-built, made-to-order kitchen units without the showroom markup. There is no national sales team to fund, no chain of middlemen taking a cut, and no inflated RRP to discount from. The result is genuine trade pricing — typically 30–50% cheaper than Howdens — available to everyone, not just the trade.
This is not about cutting corners. Every SJB kitchen features 18mm Egger and Kronospan carcasses with full 18mm solid backs, Blum soft-close hinges as standard, and Blum Antaro drawer boxes. Custom heights, depths, and widths are included at no extra charge. You get a premium kitchen at a fraction of the high street price, delivered to your door in as little as 10 working days.
Transparent pricing all year round means the price you see is the price you pay — no “was/now” gimmicks, no pressure to “buy today before the sale ends.” Just honest trade prices for a genuinely superior product.
From Design to Reality — A Real Customer Kitchen
Every SJB kitchen starts with a detailed CAD design so you can see exactly how your finished kitchen will look before a single unit is ordered. Here is what that looks like in practice.

“Steve is absolutely epic! Really nice guy. 100% genuine and 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!”
