The Big Build - Littlehampton

Episode 2 of 4

Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team help Mike, whose home was ruined by rogue builders. They spend nine days turning his wreck of a home into a house fit for the future.

Mike spent his life savings on home improvements so his sons could come and visit, but was left in the lurch by rogue builders who destroyed his house, leaving him depressed and desperate, reliant on internet forums for contact with the outside world. Mike's ancient flint house was riddled with damp, causing his 16-year-old son to suffer a terrible asthma attack that left him in hospital.

With the help of local trades, family, friends and Mike's online community, Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team spend nine days turning Mike's wreck of a home into a house fit for the future.
