Dense Victorian terraces on the south bank of the Ship Canal.
Working in Latchford
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Latchford sits about 1 miles south of Warrington centre, reached via A50 Knutsford Road. Most properties we look at here are victorian two-up two-down terraces, 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.
