Former mining town with dense terraces and newer estate infill.
Working in Golborne
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Golborne sits about 8 miles north of Warrington, reached via A580 East Lancs Road, close to M6 J23. Most properties we look at here are terraced ex-miner cottages plus 1990s estates, and the housing type genuinely changes how a job is planned — access for steel and skips, ground conditions, and how new work ties into the existing structure all follow from it.
Andy visits personally, and there is no call centre in between. If a project is not realistic in your property, we will say so.
