Plan It, Build It S01E03 - Enlarging on a Budget

This show is all about enlarging on a budget. Times are tough and money is tight but families up and down the land desperately need to increase their living space. So is it possible to extend without spending a fortune?

Both families in today's show prove that it can be done. The Goodes have a modern two-bedroomed home and have budgeted £15k to extend it. Can £15k buy a whole extra bedroom and the equivalent space downstairs? The answer is a resounding yes! The results are impressive.

Leon and Lindsey Samson have taken a huge risk and started work on their home before planning permission has been granted. They simply cannot afford to waste time waiting. It is a nerve-wracking process but, just like the Goodes, the Samsons come through smiling.
