Home Refurbishments across Padgate (WA1)
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Padgate and the wider Cheshire area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
We do a lot of refurbishments in Padgate. The pattern in WA1 tends to be full bathroom refits with re-tiling and new suite — often part of a wider layout change rather than a standalone job — and being a small Ltd company means the same team is on site from strip-out through to hand-over, not a rotating crew of subs.

Padgate refurbishments — questions we're asked
Can you refurbish a house I'm renting out in Padgate?
Yes — a big share of our refurb work around Padgate is between-tenancy refits. We turn a tired property around inside 2–4 weeks depending on scope and hand over EICR-compliant.
Do you handle bathrooms as part of a wider refurb?
Yes — full bathroom refits including waste re-routes, wet-wall or fully tiled shower enclosures, and new suite are a standard part of most refurbishment projects.
How much mess should I expect if I stay in the house during a Padgate refurb?
We seal off working areas with dust curtains and vacuum daily. Most families in Padgate live around a phased refurb comfortably — we just plan sequencing around the bathroom and kitchen so you're never without both at once.
Can you do just one room?
Yes — single-room refits are welcome. Bathrooms, snugs and utility conversions are common one-room jobs.
Do you carry out refurbishments on older Padgate properties?
Yes. Older stock around Padgate railway station usually needs some replastering, updated electrics and heating tweaks alongside cosmetic work — we quote all of it up front.
