BBC One - Getting the Builders In, Series 1, Episode 14

The teams compete for a train-themed cellar-to-playroom conversion and a bedroom refit.

Three teams of builders compete to win jobs, including a train-themed cellar-to-playroom conversion in Stretford and a bedroom refit in Woking.

Three sets of builders go head to head to win real jobs - quoting costs and making design suggestions. The first build on offer today is in Stretford, where Karen wants to convert her cellar into a playroom for her train-obsessed stepson and has a budget of £1,500. The builders are full of creative ideas and after hearing three very different pitches, Karen gets to choose which pair to go with. But there is a twist: only one team may win the job, but the others' work isn't done yet. The losing builders get to watch on - giving rise to plenty of banter and keeping the winners on their toes.

So will Karen go for 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? The competition is fierce as they all want the job.

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?
