Blades Building is a Warrington-based kitchen renovation contractor working across Widnes (WA8) and the surrounding Halton Borough Council area.

Widnes kitchen renovations — questions we're asked
Can you move the sink to a different wall?
Yes — as long as the new run has enough fall to the soil stack. We'll flag any awkward runs at survey rather than mid-build.
Can you fit an island in a Widnes home?
Yes — the constraint is usually not width, it's routing waste, water and power under the existing floor. Around Widnes, where the housing stock is mostly victorian terraces and post-war family estates, that's usually straightforward with a suspended floor and trickier on a solid slab.
Do you install kitchens in new extensions in Widnes?
That's actually the most common way we work in Widnes — the extension shell and the new kitchen are one project so you deal with one contractor from foundations to worktop template.
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.
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.
