Knutsford builders — extensions, steel and refurbishments
Historic Cheshire market town with strict conservation controls.
Working in Knutsford
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Knutsford sits about 11 miles south-east of Warrington, reached via M6 J19. Most properties we look at here are georgian townhouses, cottages and prime detached homes, 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.
