Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD

In The House that £100K Built, Kieran Long and Piers Taylor followed self-builders as they took on the biggest gamble of their lives, trying to build a home from scratch for less than £100k. Kieran and Piers helped them create the dream homes they longed for by being clever with their cash and creative with design.

This time, Kieran and Piers are coming to the aid of homeowners as they take on ambitious building projects. They have all sorts of problems to solve, are on the tightest of budgets and with little or no experience, they are desperate for help. Kieran and Piers come up with ingenious solutions, inspiring them with big ideas and challenging them to create an extraordinary home out of the one they already have. But with design dilemmas at every turn and their life savings at stake, will homeowners manage to create the houses they've always wanted but believed they could never have?

Former nurse Dawn dreamed of a relaxing home for her retirement, but an impulse buy has left her with a tiny cottage that's so small she doesn't even invite her family round. Can Kieran and Piers unlock the potential of her 150-year-old home, or will Dawn be determined to do things her own way?

Angela and Dale's disastrous extension has blighted their lives for nearly a decade, but Angela's recent health problems mean that they now urgently need to fix their failed home. With £5k to remodel the whole rear of their house, the challenge is on for Piers to come up with an ingenious solution to bring their home up to scratch. Show less
