Ex-Display Kitchens Birmingham and the Midlands

Birmingham is the UK's ex-display kitchen capital. Six major showroom groups sit within the M42 ring, all rotating displays every 12–18 months. Full kitchen runs at 45–65% off retail land on SurplusBuilder every week.

What's typically available

  • Painted Shaker in sage, navy, cashmere — most-listed style
  • Handleless in matt grey and pale oak
  • Solid oak framed traditional runs
  • Full quartz worktops (occasionally included)

How to pick a display run

Photograph your kitchen plan and share it with the seller. Ex-display runs rarely match exactly — most buyers add 2–3 new-matched cabinets from the manufacturer to complete the plan.

Frequently asked questions

+Are ex-display appliances included?

Roughly 40% of the time. If included, they're plumbed/wired for demo — usually only 20 hours use.

+How do I transport a full kitchen?

A Luton van fits a 4m run of base and wall units. Budget 4 hours for careful load/unload with a helper.
