Piers Taylor and Meredith Bowles help transform homes. Lisa lives in a former butcher's shop that is far from ideal - can Piers help with just 拢8k?

Piers Taylor and Meredith Bowles deliver ingenious micro-budget ideas to people in need of life-changing transformations to their existing homes.

Piers Taylor faces a huge challenge and has just 拢8k to spend. Lisa and her son live in a former butcher's shop in Derbyshire, but it is far from ideal. There is no kitchen at all, meals are prepared on a camping stove, and she says she can still smell 'meat' from its former life! Piers's cost-saving tricks are needed more than ever - he finds cheap ways to inject colour by taking her to a car body shop to see that spray-painting off-the-shelf fixtures and fittings can save a fortune. Meanwhile, for the walls, he creates a design using tiles that are 36p each! But with the budget so tight, Lisa can't have it all - will she take a final gamble with her worktop to finish it off?

Julie and Richard from rural Shropshire have fallen out of love with their home. The rooms of the house are a disastrous mismatch of styles and eras, all linked by a rabbit warren of dark corridors. They need to rip out and refit the entire ground floor, so Meredith must find changes that will make the biggest difference. He unpicks tricks used in a stunning 1960s home to create views and shows how mixing unusual colours can create different moods. But it is the flooring that is causing Richard and Julie the biggest headache. All they can afford is cheap vinyl, but they are desperate for real wood. Meredith discovers a parquet floor in a school tipped for demolition - can they get it out in time and will it really be free?
