BBC One - Getting the Builders In, Series 1, Episode 2

The teams of builders compete to make over a kitchen and fix a fireplace.

Three pairs of builders go head to head to win jobs. In Battersea, Sam wants a kitchen makeover, while in Stretford, Elizabeth and Sean need their fireplace fixing.

In Battersea, London, first-time buyer Sam wants to get the builders in to transform his tired kitchen. After hearing three very different pitches, he must pick his favourite builders to carry out the work. Martin and Mick offer up an industrial coffee shop look with new tiles, new worktop, floor and industrial light. Wayne and Steph go for black tiles and sink with a smart oak worktop, and Gavin and Jimbo offer a dark and mysterious look. Sam has got £3,000 to spend, so who will he get to do the job?

In Stretford, Greater Manchester, Elizabeth and Sean need builders to repair a DIY bodge job on their fireplace. Sian and Jon offer a bespoke steel mantel and geometric tile centrepiece. Alex and Chris suggest a reclaimed oak mantel, matching shelves and storage. Tracy and Daz are planning to replaster and repaint the entire wall and use York stone for the hearth, but who will they pick?
