Home Refurbishments in Westbrook
Blades Building — a Warrington-based Ltd company covering Westbrook and the wider Cheshire area. Rated 10/10 on Checkatrade across 36 reviews.
Blades Building is a Warrington-based refurbishment contractor working across Westbrook (WA5) and the surrounding Warrington Borough Council area. Most of our Westbrook customers live in 1980s–1990s detached and semi family homes — the sort of stock you see between Great Sankey and Callands — and know the property well enough to want a builder who plans the job around it rather than around a standard template.
