In Bristol, Scarlette and Stuart help single mum Natalie, who wants to transform her house into a colourful haven for herself and her daughter Freda. To get on the property ladder, Natalie has bought the ultimate fixer-upper, but major tasks like a new roof and complete re-rendering of the house threaten to blow the budget. Determined to save money, Scarlette takes Natalie to a kitchen manufacturer to demonstrate how to create a bespoke rainbow-theme kitchen on a budget, and they also revamp the existing fireplace for less than £60. Stuart helps Natalie settle on finishing design touches to fill the house with colour. With a moving date from their rented house already set, the pressure is on to complete the renovation on time.

In Norbury, south London, Jamie and Adam set out to maximise their dated terrace's full potential on a minimal budget. Will their money-saving plan of living in the house during the reno pay off? Brother-and-sister property developers Scarlette and Stuart Douglas offer advice.
