Working in Penketh
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Penketh sits about 4 miles west of Warrington, reached via A562 and A57 close to M62 J8. Most properties we look at here are mix of village cottages and 1970s semis, 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.
