Home Refurbishments for Knutsford homeowners
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Knutsford and the wider Cheshire area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
Historic Cheshire market town with strict conservation controls. That mix matters when you're planning refurbishments — a project on the kind of property near King Street and Tatton Park (think georgian townhouses, cottages and prime detached homes) isn't the same job as one on a newer estate off M6 J19, and the price and the sequence should reflect that.

Knutsford refurbishments — questions we're asked
How much mess should I expect if I stay in the house during a Knutsford refurb?
We seal off working areas with dust curtains and vacuum daily. Most families in Knutsford live around a phased refurb comfortably — we just plan sequencing around the bathroom and kitchen so you're never without both at once.
Do you decorate, or do I need a separate decorator?
We have decorators we work with on almost every job, so quotes are usually turnkey unless you specifically want to arrange painting yourself.
Can you do just one room?
Yes — single-room refits are welcome. Bathrooms, snugs and utility conversions are common one-room jobs.
Can you refurbish a house I'm renting out in Knutsford?
Yes — a big share of our refurb work around Knutsford is between-tenancy refits. We turn a tired property around inside 2–4 weeks depending on scope and hand over EICR-compliant.
Do you carry out refurbishments on older Knutsford properties?
Yes. Older stock around King Street and Tatton Park usually needs some replastering, updated electrics and heating tweaks alongside cosmetic work — we quote all of it up front.
