Kitchen Renovations in Padgate
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Padgate and the wider Cheshire area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
Blades Building is a Warrington-based kitchen renovation contractor working across Padgate (WA1) and the surrounding Warrington Borough Council area. Most of our Padgate customers live in 1930s semis and 1960s estates — the sort of stock you see between Fearnhead and Woolston — and know the property well enough to want a builder who plans the job around it rather than around a standard template.

What we typically specify for Padgate jobs
Padgate kitchen renovations — questions we're asked
Do you handle the electrics and gas?
We work with Part P registered electricians and Gas Safe engineers routinely — all certification issued at the end of the job.
Do you supply the kitchen or do I?
Either. Most customers buy directly from Howdens, Wren or Symphony and we install; if you'd rather we handle procurement we can do that too and pass on the trade pricing.
Can you move the sink to a different wall?
Yes — as long as the new run has enough fall to the soil stack. We'll flag any awkward runs at survey rather than mid-build.
Can you fit an island in a Padgate home?
Yes — the constraint is usually not width, it's routing waste, water and power under the existing floor. Around Padgate, where the housing stock is mostly 1930s semis and 1960s estates, that's usually straightforward with a suspended floor and trickier on a solid slab.
How long is the house without a working kitchen in Padgate?
A straight-swap refit in a typical Padgate home is usually 2–3 weeks kitchen-out. If we're also knocking through or extending, plan 5–8 weeks and we'll help you rig a temporary kitchen in another room.
