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

A garden overhaul in Urmston and a shoe cupboard in Croydon are the jobs on offer.

Three pairs of builders go head to head to win jobs. In Urmston, Christine and Jim need a garden overhaul, while in Croydon, Sara wants a new shoe cupboard.

The first job up for grabs is in Urmston, Greater Manchester, where Christine and Jim have a £3,500 budget to overhaul their garden. After hearing three very different pitches, they must pick their favourite builders to carry out the work. Sian and Jon offer up a modern design with artificial grass, Chris and Mark come up with a Mediterranean theme, while Faiz and Tom think their plan for a tandoor is a winning idea. But who will Christine and Jim pick?

Meanwhile, down south in Croydon, Sara wants a chic storage space for her shoes and has £500 to spend on it. 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 who will triumph - Wayne and Steph's copper piping design, Charis and Chris's upcycled idea or John and Simon's boutique shoe shop theme?
