The Restoration Man Show Summary, Upcoming Episodes and TV Guide

When Jude McKelvey took on a dilapidated 17th century barn, she knew it would be a labour of love to both restore it to its former glory while also making a family home to share with her two boys. The Grade II* listed building comes with tight conservation restrictions. The timber-framed structure needs months of painstaking craftsmanship and the 44,000 clay tiles must be replaced by hand. Can Jude meet the enormous challenge of dividing up the barn's cavernous interior without destroying its priceless heritage? Presented by George Clarke.

George Clarke meets Cheshire couple Andrew Jones and Michele Gibbons, who plan to turn an 85ft art deco water tower into the six-storey 'end house' of their dreams. The conversion proves an incredible challenge for the builders, as they must cut through double reinforced concrete to build new floors and fit over 20 new windows. It takes almost a year to get the tower wind and water-tight as, meanwhile, the couple must come to terms with fact that, despite a dislike of art deco furniture, they need to furnish their towering example of architectural history in a fitting style.
