Presented by Gary McCausland and Zilpah Hartley, House Wreck Rescue searches out the ordinary people who have dared to turn their dream of developing a tumbledown barn or romantic ruin into reality. There are over a million empty properties in Britain, just waiting to be transformed into spectacular homes. In a property market that leaves no room for error trying to turn a wreck into a hot property is anything but easy. Most of us will drive past a tumbledown barn or a disused chapel and only dream about saving it from total dilapidation. The sheer scale of these projects is enough to put anyone off, that is, anyone apart from the people in this series.

Families, property developers, and first time buyers risk their relationships, businesses and a whole lot of money attempting to rescue their wrecks and turn them into exceptional homes. From trouble with builders to bankers they are all up against it. Whether it’s a dovecote, a windmill or even a fishing trawler, House Wreck Rescue sees if they’ve got what it takes.
