Kieran Long and Piers Taylor help homeowners as they take on ambitious building projects. A dark bungalow and a 'DIY war zone' need expert help to be revamped on small budgets.

In The House that 拢100k Built, Kieran Long and Piers Taylor strived to assist self-builders as they embarked on the biggest gamble of their lives, building a home from scratch for less than 拢100k. This time, Kieran and Piers are bringing their innovative architectural tricks, ingenious design ideas and 100k House experience to a different problem - existing homes.

With all sorts of problems to solve, only the tightest of budgets available, big ambitions but little or no experience, each homeowner is desperate for help. Kieran and Piers come up with expert solutions, inspiring them with big ideas to turn tired houses into exceptional homes. But with design dilemmas at every turn and their life savings at stake, will these homeowners manage to create the house they have always wanted, but believed they could never have?

Ronnie and Nicky are years behind on the property ladder after living in barracks and tents around the world whilst working in the armed forces. Their latest battle is to turn the dark and badly planned bungalow that was all they could afford into a dream family home. Piers challenges them to rip up their current plans and be more ambitious, while Kieran pushes them to stop shopping and start designing. How will these design novices cope when they realise they cannot afford to finish their home in a conventional way?

Meanwhile, Nigel in Gloucestershire has DIY experience but no idea what to do. A slow and steady renovation project has created a DIY war zone, but the pace needs to change now that his new partner Kim and her kids have moved in. With just 拢7,000 available, Piers must help them spend it in the right places - but can they decide where to start? And will it ever be finished?
