Episode 5

Mark Wright and the team help Jess reclaim her 600-year-old cottage after years of emotional upheaval and unfinished DIY.

Living alone with her animals, Jess has been left with an unsafe, incomplete kitchen and rooms filled with belongings linked to her late father. Cleaner Maxine Dwyer helps declutter and deep clean, while carpenter Amie Williams finishes the jobs Jess couldn’t.

New cupboard doors, better storage and refreshed worktops transform the kitchen, while a calm sanctuary is created in the spare bedroom with a bespoke day bed, softened beams and space for treasured memories.
