Working in Lowton
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Lowton sits about 7 miles north of Warrington, reached via A580 East Lancs Road, M6 J22. Most properties we look at here are semi-detached and detached family housing, 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.
