Getting the Builders In

Three teams of builders go head to head, pricing up jobs and offering designs, and the homeowners choose which team to go with. In Heaton Mersey, Manchester, Zoe wants her porch revamped and a new front door on a budget of £1,200. Chris and Alex suggest a period front door complete with carved corbels and frosted glass, Sian and Jon think fancy tiles are the best way to give the front of the house a lift, and Mark and Chris go all out and offer to spruce up the whole front garden. But which builders will get to bring their design dreams to life? In Carshalton, Sutton, Samantha wants to get the builders in to have some alcove storage built in her living room. The builders come with three different designs, but of course only one pair can win the job.

Three teams of builders go head to head, pricing up jobs and offering designs, and the homeowners choose which team to go with.

Mark and Chris come up with a Pergola with a slate roof and fire pit, Tom and Faiz suggest an oriental theme, and Sian and Jon propose a contemporary design with brick-built barbecue. Meanwhile, down south in Sandhurst, Donna desperately needs an office revamp. Once again three teams get competitive and try to win over the homeowner, with the sore losers on standby to scrutinise the winners' work. So which set of builders will triumph?

The first build on offer is in Stretford, where Karen wants to convert her cellar into a playroom for her train-obsessed stepson on a budget of £1,500. She has to choose between Faiz and Tom's idea to run a train track through the wall, Tracy and Darryll's train-tunnel chimney-breast mural or Chris and Mark's plan for a vibrant play space with oodles of storage. In Woking, Ross and Giovanna's bedroom hasn't been updated in decades and is need of a complete refit, including an entire wall of bespoke wardrobes. They have got £2,500 to spend, but who will they pick for the job?

Three teams of builders go head to head, pricing up jobs and offering designs, and the homeowners choose which team to go with. The first job on offer is for homeowners Sarah and John in Farnworth near Bolton. They desperately want to update their 70s bathroom on a budget of £3,000. The builders offer up three very different designs. Tracy and Vic embrace the 70s vibe, offering a watermelon colour scheme and wood panelling, Alex and Chris suggest uPVC ceiling cladding to help condensation, and Mark and Chris come up with a practical hydraulic sink to help John, who has a form of dwarfism. But who will Sarah and John go for? Meanwhile, in Cobham, Surrey, Rebecca wants smart storage solutions for her under-stairs cupboard. The builders come with three different designs, but of course only one pair can win the job.
