Kitchen Renovations across Runcorn (WA7)
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Runcorn and the wider Cheshire (Halton) area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
We do a lot of kitchen renovations in Runcorn. The pattern in WA7 tends to be full strip-out and refit in an existing footprint — 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.

Runcorn kitchen renovations — questions we're asked
Do you install kitchens in new extensions in Runcorn?
That's actually the most common way we work in Runcorn — the extension shell and the new kitchen are one project so you deal with one contractor from foundations to worktop template.
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.
Can you fit an island in a Runcorn home?
Yes — the constraint is usually not width, it's routing waste, water and power under the existing floor. On the new-town estates plus older sandstone terraces common in Runcorn that's usually straightforward with a suspended floor and trickier on a solid slab.
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.
How long is the house without a working kitchen in Runcorn?
A straight-swap refit in a typical Runcorn 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.
