Twofour’s ten part House Wreck Rescue for Discovery Real Time continues its run on Thursdays at 10pm.

Have you ever driven past a tumbledown barn or neglected lighthouse and fantasised about turning it into the home of your dreams? The likelihood is you kept on driving, put off by the sheer scale of the work load. In House Wreck Rescue, we follow those who haven’t been deterred by the enormity of such projects and have taken on huge developments, in some cases turning extraordinary ruins into spectacular homes. But these amateur developers won’t be alone, as property gurus, Zilpah Hartley and Gary McCausland, will be on hand to offer expert advice.

Still to come in this run are:

The Wheelwright’s Workshop (6 May) – Ivy is bursting through the bricks and the roof is in trouble but perfectionist puppeteer-turned-developer Tim hopes to complete his conversion quickly.

Chelsea Flat (13 May) - Dan is attempting his most ambitious project to date. He is transforming a pokey basement flat into a super-sleek two-bed pad to match the luxury standards of the area.

The Cowsheds (20 May) - architect Jon is finally delivering on his promise to build his family a dream home. However, the land has a high water table - will his plans sink or swim?
