Working in Westbrook
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Westbrook sits about 2.5 miles west of Warrington, reached via M62 J8 via Cromwell Avenue. Most properties we look at here are 1980s–1990s detached and semi family homes, 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.
