House Extensions across Knutsford (WA16)
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Knutsford and the wider Cheshire area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
We do a lot of house extensions in Knutsford. The pattern in WA16 tends to be single-storey rear kitchen-diner extensions — often part of a wider layout change rather than a standalone job — and being a small Ltd company means the same team is on site from strip-out through to hand-over, not a rotating crew of subs.

Knutsford house extensions — questions we're asked
Do I need a Party Wall agreement in Knutsford?
If the extension sits on or within 3m of a shared boundary — common on the semis and terraces around Mobberley and Plumley — a Party Wall notice is required. We can point you at surveyors we've worked with.
Can you match the brickwork on older Knutsford homes?
Yes. On period stock around King Street and Tatton Park we source reclaimed facings and colour-match mortar so the new wall reads as part of the original elevation, not an obvious add-on.
