Blades Building is a Warrington-based kitchen renovation contractor working across Grappenhall (WA4) and the surrounding Warrington Borough Council area. Most of our Grappenhall customers live in cobbled-lane cottages plus 1970s semis — the sort of stock you see between Thelwall and Appleton — and know the property well enough to want a builder who plans the job around it rather than around a standard template.

Grappenhall kitchen renovations — questions we're asked
Do you supply the kitchen or do I?
Either. Most customers buy directly from Howdens, Wren or Symphony and we install; if you'd rather we handle procurement we can do that too and pass on the trade pricing.
How long is the house without a working kitchen in Grappenhall?
A straight-swap refit in a typical Grappenhall home is usually 2–3 weeks kitchen-out. If we're also knocking through or extending, plan 5–8 weeks and we'll help you rig a temporary kitchen in another room.
Can you move the sink to a different wall?
Yes — as long as the new run has enough fall to the soil stack. We'll flag any awkward runs at survey rather than mid-build.
Do you install kitchens in new extensions in Grappenhall?
That's actually the most common way we work in Grappenhall — the extension shell and the new kitchen are one project so you deal with one contractor from foundations to worktop template.
Do you handle the electrics and gas?
We work with Part P registered electricians and Gas Safe engineers routinely — all certification issued at the end of the job.
