Piers Taylor and Katy Marks hunt for micro-budget ways to improve homes. Hardeep and Rupinder have plenty of room, but not where it needs to be.

Adam was desperate to remain living in London, but with house prices shooting up, the choice of homes on offer was small, as were the homes themselves. Adam bought one of the thinnest homes in the country. At just six foot wide in places, this former alleyway was dark and barely habitable - can Katy possibly find a way to unlock its potential? Piers demonstrates to Adam how you can maximise every inch of any home or room if you use the right tricks, lighting and furniture, and even colours can make all the difference. But when Adam decides to ditch an idea to increase the footprint of his house, the pressure mounts on Katy to come up with radical ideas, will the answers be found below deck on a boat?

In Walsall, Hardeep and Rupinder have plenty of room for their family, but it's in all the wrong places. They regularly have their extended family over but Rupinder does all the cooking in a tiny kitchen and a ramshackle lean-to which has seen better days. Piers designs them the ultimate sociable space and encourages them to orientate their home on the garden. He takes them to see a home packed with ideas that make the most of outdoor spaces, but as the build progresses, Hardeep spots an opportunity to gain further bedrooms. Against Piers' advice, he removes design ideas that are key to its success - will a trip to see some of the best new homes in Britain get them back on track?
