Building work across Padgate
Mixed suburb of interwar semis and later post-war estates.
Working in Padgate
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Padgate sits about 2 miles north-east of Warrington, reached via A574 to M62 J11. Most properties we look at here are 1930s semis and 1960s estates, 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.
