Grappenhall builders — extensions, steel and refurbishments
Historic conservation village with cobbled lanes and newer suburban expansion.
Working in Grappenhall
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Grappenhall sits about 3 miles south-east of Warrington, reached via A50 close to M6 J20. Most properties we look at here are cobbled-lane cottages plus 1970s semis, 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.
