  1. Really nice and useful program. You are such a talented person. Looks like you have enough projects to last a lifetime, but if you ever run out I would love to talk. Best wishes.

  2. First of all I'm sorry if I enquiring in the wrong place but I would really like to apply to take part in George Clarks, The Home Show. We live in a detached property in Newton Abbot Devon which has fantastic panoramic views. I believe the property and the project would be perfect for the programme and would make very good viewing. Yours sincerely, Paul & Anne

  4. Hubby and me live in Suffolk in a beautiful 16th Century thatched house with our two boys (10 11). When we bought the house 6 years ago it looked more like a pub inside with dark beams and bright red carpets. We have, over the years, tried to bring the house up-to-date but however hard we try, cant seem to make it a sylish home. The main problem is the proporations and our use of the rooms, especially downstairs and especially where there is an extension at the far end of the house to the living rooom. The extension is south facing and so gets most of the sun, but we cant seem to make it work as part of the living room despite a desparate need for a light, bright space in what can be a dark house. Upstairs has also been dissappointing. In my mind I can imagine how beautiful it could be, but somehow we cant seem to realise its potential. For example, we recently redecorated our 11yr old's bedroom, hoping to give him a more grown up space. The room has a boarded up fire place that I would love to open but we couldnt come up with a sensible layout for his furniture, so the fireplace remains behind a cupboard in a still very unispiring room despite all the architectural features. The main house is listed but all the rooms (except the third bedroom [of 3]) are large so it has loads of potential for internal change. Eg we have a kitchen and dining room, but the kitchen is more than large enough to be a fantastic kitchen diner(with open fire place if the boiler could be relocated??). Plus there's the extension.... In short, we need George's architectural inspiration to make the most of the space and turn this old house into a beautiful, light, comfortable home. What we're lacking, so our wish list: -cosy rooms with open fires -open bright area to enjoy the sunshine and countryside. -somewhere for guests to sleep -downstairs loo Hope you pick us, otherwise we could end up moving; we really need help.

  5. Loving the show and spend the days in between wishing you could see our house. It's a 3 bed semi chalet style with a downstairs bathroom, and just 3 bedrooms upstairs, the smallest been very small!! We have 2 children, and would love a bigger 3rd bedroom and some sort of bathroom facility upstairs. Not sure about planning permission because of the style of the house. We love our gardens, our neighbours, and our location. Please please help!!

  6. Hi. Really impressed with the programme. Have watched most of the property shows on 4 over the years and it’s great to at last find one that’s realistic and isn’t either totally aspirational (‘Grand Designs’) or a quick fix with an eye to making profit. I’m a single, 50something guy who, after 35 years of living in flats and disciplined saving, finally achieved my dream of buying a house 10 months ago. It’s a 1930 3 bed semi with a long garden on the London/Surrey border and I love it. But now comes the difficult part of turning it from my house into my home for the years to come, somewhere to come home to that makes all the years of hard work and hard saving worthwhile. It’s structurally sound but doesn’t flow as an ideal living space; badly proportioned and, as I discovered after living here for a while, the victim of cheap improvements by slapdash builders. The use of space and the proportion of the rooms is frustrating; on the ground floor, the entrance hall and living room are ridiculously small with the further inconvenience of electric meters sited in one corner(which I understand is not uncommon for houses of this period) but the location of the staircase between these and the kitchen/diner/lean-to conservatory makes opening up or re-proportioning the space problematic ; there isn’t room to swing a cat in the first floor bathroom (so either turn it into a wet room of sorts or knock though and lose the study/home office perhaps?); a recent loft conversion giving a bedroom and a decent sized en-suite has been badly designed and criminally wastes space (designed, I suspect, for the benefit of the builder and an apathetic client only interested in the basics to increase value). The house is fairly energy inefficient; the lean-to conservatory, although double glazed, loses heat making the kitchen/ diner and in turn the whole house a touch chilly in the winter (maybe that’s the price you have to pay for a view of the garden). I moved with little or no furniture and the place is virtually untouched from the previous owner (even the net curtains in the windows!). I decided to live in the place for a few months as it was to get clearer ideas of refurbishment or redesign. However, financing this with my life savings I can only do this once and the possibility of getting it wrong is rather paralysing, particularly as I don’t trust my own sense of design. I poured over countless catalogues and design magazines, doing rough costings until my head spun with confusion and the weight of making the wrong decision. My personal taste is for the clean lines of contemporary modern, but comfortable not clinical. I appreciate that most property series are naturally predisposed towards families and married couples but I hope that there is also an appeal for the situation of single occupancy which although is common is often overlooked. In essence I wish for a well designed house which is a constant delight to the eye and a joy to live in. I reckon George is the man to sort me out! Thank you for your time and consideration.

  9. Help We have a great location over looking lakes and lots of nature - we are not in country but the house is just a really poor design and I cant cope with it!! Have two small children who adore living there but I am struggling benig a mum and housewife - and working. The hall and stairs and lounge are all open - so it is draft and continually messy - We have a tumble drier in garage whihc is attached. The garage is full of junk and it is really a fight to get in - and washing everywhere. The kitchen is tiny and just off the lounge - so food just escapes into large open plan room come hall thing passageway that is our living area. But we love the location and all the nature that goes with it. House is poorly designed and there is not a lot of room for friends or family gathering and we want it to feel more homely more organised and bigger - please please help -

  11. Hi - I live in a 1970s detached 3 bed bungalow. I would like advice on changing the layout as we have a huge garden which is overlooked by the bedrooms and totally wasted. The living area is on the other side of the bungalow and looks out onto other houses and the kitchen is overlooked by houses/apartments. Ideally I would like the sleeping area to become the living/kitchen dining area and the living/kitchen dining area to become the sleeping area. We have an open plan living room which is 28foot by 15 foot, no dining room, so we use part of the living room as a dining area and the kitchen is probably about 15 x 13 ft. Would love to know if it is a feasible idea. We live in Lisburn, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. - Thank you. Liz Murphy

  13. I would welcome advice on replanning our home around my husband who had an accident last year which left him paralysed from the neck down. The "normal" disabled adaptions such as grab rails etc do not apply to him and I get fed up with the limited scope of people's imagination when the word disabled is mentioned. We are a youngish family with two children and love modern, traditional and up and coming interiors and furnishings. We know an extension is necessary to accomodate my husbands wet room etc but we would appreciate some guidance on layout and with-it ideas before wasting any money and feeling obliged into doing the "norm". We love our home very much and spent alot of time money and effort before my husbands' accident on renovating it, unfortunately it will all have to change to provide the extra wheelchair space etc he needs to get about from room to room.I feel a bit of direction from someone with vision is vital to change our home and make our lives so much easier it will give us the boost we need after a pretty traunatic 18 months. Hope you can help in any way at all, many thanks.

  14. I find it hard to put into words how much i need your help, the day i moved onto my 3 bedroom 1900's cottage style house, i knew i had done the most expensive mistake of my life, a small extention an added bedroom and 5 years later and it hasnt got any better. We are a family of 4 two kids aged 5 and 2 the house is of a resonable size, the upstairs floor feels much bigger than down stairs area, the 4 rooms downstairs are quite small and there is hardly any light as the windows are all small, there is no hallway or storage and we dont have room for any extentions it would be working with the house as it is, which would be a real challenge. I want to feel happy to come home to house i love and to bring my children up in house with good memories and at the moment i dont have any ideas how i can achieve this without moving!Please help!

  17. GREEN CHALLENGE Enjoyed the shows so far (particularily Kew). I have a challenge for you which other viewers may find interesting. We live in a poor quality, single storey ex miners cottage using expensive LPG as our main source of heating and water. We have planning permission to remove the roof and install a new one, incorporating as much green energy as possible. (we have a good budget)Interested in the challenge? Kind regards

  19. Really enjoy the programme. It would be nice to be considered for taking part in the new series, but I fear we are a lost cause! I live in an extended 3-bed semi detached house in the suburbs of London. There are four adults who have lived there for just over 30 years. One family member is a chronic hoarder, two are deeply into 'crafts', three into 'collections' and one who likes kitchen and catering things! We thought of challenging George to come and help us but to be honest, he couldn't!! What I would like to comment on is his tip for finding workmen. If you have no one who can reccommend anyone to you, how on earth do you find a decent builder?

  20. Hello I have just left you my name and number as we would love to appear on your show. We live in a detached 3 bedroom house in a conservation area in London. Against the odds we have managed to get planning permission for a side and back extension due to the size of a garden (we are on a double plot), and we need to accommodate our quickly expanding family (we have been married 3 years and have 2 kids already..) I would love an eat-in kitchen, utility room, 4th bedroom and lots of storage (we have none) Please get back to us if you think we are suitable candidates. Many thanks. Laura.

  21. Hi we would love for George and the team to help redesign our house to make it a more functional and modern home! We live in a 1930's 3 bed semi detached house, although more like 2bedrooms and a box! We have two boys and currently trying for another member of our family! The toilet is down stairs, we do have room to have a little ensuite bathroom in our bedroom and this would be great to free up the bathroom rush in the mornings! We would love to have an extra bedroom by converting the loft, although it isn't great space so we would have to have a dorma and have stairs entering the loft from one of the bedrooms. Our kitchen is also to small, we have a small off shot from the kitchen which we currently use as our laundry room! it is the first thing that welcomes you into the back of our house...not very appealing. We are thinking of having the wall knocked through and supported to open the space up and also add some bi folding doors/patio doors to the back making the back of the house more appealing! A new kitchen layout to make it more family functional is what we are looking for, instead of having to squeeze between the fridge and the table to sit and eat!!. I do have some ideas but do not know how or where to start. We would greatly benifit from your team helping us achieve our dream home as we couldn't afford to move, nor would we want too really as we live in a fantastic area! Please consider us for your programme we would be eternally greatful.

  23. Just watched the latest show and was really touched by the sensitive way in George and the team worked to create a dream home for the family.We moved into our 3 bedroomed home 17years ago and have planned to move a number of times. Particularly as our children began to grow (now age 10 and 15 and in need of more space!!) but we could never agree on the right time or place.We have beautiful country views from the rear of the house and they have been difficult to match. As the market is so stagnant and we desperately need more space we are considering building an extension but have concerns about who could match our expectations. We need an extra bathroom, utility room and extra bedroom and are prepared to pay up to 50k to achiee this dream. We would be totally happy to leave it all to George and co and would be thrilled if you would consider us. We are a lively close family who would greatly benefit from and enjoy the changes. Thanks Annette

  26. We are a young family with two little girls (3.5 and e 1.5) living in a semi-detached, 3 bedroom, victorian house in Ware, Hertfordshire. My husband and I are really enjoying the current series of The Home Show and would be very interested in appearing in the next. Our main problem is lack of storage, but we also suffer from having only one (downstairs) bathroom which leads off the tiny kitchen. Like many Victorian properties our house has been extended to the rear by previous owners, which means that we have quite a lot of reception space, but each room leads off the previous one and the front door opens directly into the living room, which sometimes makes the downstairs feel like one big corridor! Whilst are house is adequate for our needs now, as the girls get bigger it will feel increasingly cramped, however the current economic downturn means that we are unlikely to be able to move for upwards of 5 years. There are several possible opportunities to extend our house - there is a redundant side-return directly outide the kitchen, a currently unconverted attic space, and the possibility of building ontop of the one storey extension in which the bathroom is housed. I think we could really benefit from the expertise of George Clarke and his team and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the potential renovation project further.

  27. Help! We live in a small 4 bedroomed house which is 12 years old. We would love to extend to accommodate our growing family - we have two young boys, but are unsure of where to start. We have lived in our home for 8 years but the interior is a mix of his and hers from before we got married and is very very beige!! Some space is underused other areas are misused - kids bikes and scooters in the dining room!? We have a budget of £80k but lack vision. We would like to fall in love with our home again. Please consider us for your programme.

  30. Hi, I currently live in a semi detached three bedroomed property(approx 6 years old, within Dundee)with my husband and our three children, our fourth is due within the next 2 weeks! Until last December there were only four of us but soon there will be six and there is just no room. I feel so guilty as the children have tiny single bedrooms which they have to share and there is no space for them to play. We had thought of moving but with the property market in turmoil I dont think I could stand the strain of having to keep the house in show room condition! Besides the two older girls are settled at school and we have excellent neighbours and family close by which is very important especially with a fourth child on the way!We dont have plans or planning consent but we have spoken to the local planners and they dont have any issues with a side double extension. However the space is limited (8m by 2.5m) and the stairs are in the wrong place meaning that the entire upstairs will need rejigged. We would therefore love the expertise of George in order to maximise the potential and hopefully add some modern funky features. We hope to give the children larger bedrooms and also a playroom with the downstairs space. Your help would be greatly appreciated regards Karen Downes

  31. We are in the process of taking the builder to court. Two years we have lived in a supposedly brand new barn conversion that has been badly designed internally and with very poor standards of workmanship. Our living room is boarded up as the floor was never screeded at all, the builders covered it up with a carpet, even when we allowed the builders to correct the floor it went wrong they had to dig it up, that was the last straw so we entered in to litigation the solicitor advised not to all them to undertake any more work. We have lived with open cavities that were unfinished and exposed to the elements, it has been very draughty and cold and dusty, the internal woodwork has been shoddily fitted and not even sanded or painted. Once we receive payment from the builders whom we will not allow to take on the work we will be putting the work out to tender so when I saw the home show I thought our house would make and interesting story and project. We are at the stage where all the expert witness reports have been done and we will be ready to issue court proceeding to the builder. We will be moving out as there will be allot of internal and external alterations to be remedied. It has been two years of hell living in our supposedly dream home in Hereford. We trusted the builders they lied as has been proved as during the past two years we discovered one fault after another even to the extent of dangerous and bad workmanship. As you can imagine it has broken me and my family hearts living with it for two years especailly as I have internally designed,decorated and designed the gardens on several houses that were done to a very high standard putting alot of energy and tender loving care in to those houses so that other people could enjoy them. All we ever wanted was a comfortable clean sanctuary our home. We have had to pay out lots of money to hopefully get what we are owed we couldn't even sell the house as it hasn't even been passed by building control and until the house is put right no one would buy it anyway. As it stands we have been deprived of what we paid for.

  32. We live in a 4 bedroom detached house and I want to build on the side and even up. I want to convert the utility into my kitchen and extend the kitchen. Possibly extend on the first floor making it a 5 bedroom with an extra en suite? As my family is growing i.e. grandchildren. My son lives in London so I need extra room for when they all come to stay. Would love to be on your next series.

  33. Hi, myself and my husband Campbell live in East Kilbride, Glasgow. We plan to add a two storey extension onto our 2 bed end terrace house in spring next year. I am 41 and Campbell in 56. We currently own our house outright, it is approx 9 years old. I originally bought the house for myself. It is not large, therefore when we got married in 2005 and Campbell moved in, we have struggled for space and storage. I added a conservatory a few years ago, which we love to bits, but it stole natural light from the living room. By knocking through the external wall into the new room created by the extension, this gives me the opportunity to create natural light. Placing the windows in the correct position is paramount. We have plans drawn up and are about to submit to the planner in order to gain consent. They have already given us an indication it would be approved, so hopefully the plans will go through smoothly. We have budgeted £80K to cover the cost of the build and the interior decor. We will have to apply for a mortgage and contribute a proportion of our own savings. We love this house and the loction. We are surrounded by trees and it is really lovely in the summer. This is a one off project therefore I would really love it if George could assist us to ensure we we making best use of the space we are creating, and indeed the existing space, along with help on the interior design. I have a contemporary mediteranian idea in my head. We would be knocking through external walls into the extended area. The extension would create a dining room, kitchen, and upstair extra bedroom and larger bathroom. I want to create lots of natural light into the housen and create the right kind of ambience. Please, please can you help, this is a dream I have had for years, and am really anxious to make it our perfect home. We would love to help contribute to your new series, and therefore look forward to hearing from you very soon. I am excited just thinking about it! Yours sincerly Karen

  34. After watching your show i was inspired by what George Clarke acheived. We are very excited that we have just recieved planning permission on our two bedroom 1950 very dated farm workers bungalow in West Sussex. We are bursting out of this house and desprate to do the extension so we can start living again as lives have been on hold trying to get by in a small space. permission is for another floor creating 3 new bedrooms one with en suite. We have two girls aged 3 and 6 years old who would love seperate bedrooms. We have been waiting two years for the permission and would love your help to make this house our home. Please Please consider us for your programme!!

  35. We have a modern 4 bed detatched, 30 year old house. Our children have now 'flown the nest' (but may come back!). The kitchen is as old as the house and due a complete make-over. We are now able to afford to do it but don't know where to start. The previous owner had part of the garage converted into an extra room between the kitchen and the utility but although we have since had a central heating radiater installed it is cold because the the wall is not insulated between it and the garage. There isn't enough light in the room either. We think opening it up to make it part of the kitchen and perhaps the utility as well might be a good idea to make a good sized dining kitchen opening out into the back garden. We do use the room as a computer room at the moment (with a fan heater in the winter) but we could easily use a computer in a large dining kitchen and don't need a room just for that. We'd love someone experienced to give us some advice and ideas rather than a kitchen salesman just selling a kitchen. I'm not very good at making decisions and my husband always seems to have something else to do - I have a big birthday coming up (50) and we are spending quite a lot of money on a party. My husband says not to worry we'll still be able to do the kitchen but we've been talking about it for years now and haven't done anything so after watching The Home Show I thought I'd go into my small, cold 'computer room' and look at your site!

  36. My husband left a comment last week, but I thought I'd add to it! We have lived in our house for 12 years since getting married. Since having kids, 2 girls who are now 7 & 8, the space just doesn't work very well for the family. When we moved in, we had to update the house, but with a very limited budget. We have just recently got planning permission to extend the house significantly and have a vision of making the house into a home that we can live in for the foreseeable future. We would really appreciate your help and expertise. We love your show and each week, we sit there saying 'that would be such a dream come true, if that happened to us'. My husband put a budget of 85K down, but he would stretch to 90 if required! We would love to hear from you......... Yours wishingly!!! Victoria Nicholls

  38. We have just bought a 3 bedroom detached property in Dorchester and intend to renovate the property with a budget of 40K. We bought the house for its location and plot size, it was too expense to knock it down and start again... however it was build in 1961 and it is not to our taste. Please could you help us bring this property into the 21 century. This is our first home together. I moved down from the midlands with my son last December to make a new life with my partner. The housing market completely changed our plans on how we moved forward to start our life together. It has not been easy buying a house in a falling market with two properties to sell, especially with one in the Midlands and one in Weymouth, whilst buying in an expensive town. It has taken us most of the year to sell and finally find a house to buy. Location and plot being our priority, however, we need four beds and at least two bathrooms and a study. Dorchester is an up and coming county town where Prince Charles has given land to the town to build "houses for people from all walks of life". Also a big new development on the other side of the town that use to be an old brewery is also bring in businesses and new housing for people wanting to move and settle into the area. We would really appreciate your time in considering us for the programme

  39. I have tried to contact yourselves on the web site address given but to no avail. We live in a 4 double bedroom house which when built (1910) had a shop as a part of the ground floor we would dearly love some advice on how to make the house flow better and are in a good position to renovate parts of the house if required.

  40. Ive been so inspired by your programme the last few weeks its prompted me to write to you!! I just hope I'm not too late. We live in a big Edwardian house with seven bedrooms that has been neglected over the last forty years by the previous owner, who was 94. To cut a long story short we have lived here for three years and have carried out some work. We applied for double story extension and were refused and settled for first floor ext. This causes a real problem on the first floor where the rooms are all strange shapes. We have a builder at the moment working on the kitchen ext but we are a long way off and would LOVE your help and ideas. We are looking to spend over all £50-60K. It would be lovely to hear from you and make our house a home. P.S Be warned we have five children!!! Many thanks Lucy Loveday

  42. I have a 3 bedroom chalet bungalow, I am married with 2 daughters 8 and 7. We are running out of space and the house is ugly. I have planning permission to extend double storey extension out the front and one storey extension at the back. My budget would be approx £85000, the whole extension is designed so we never have to move and have a perfect modern living space. Can you help. Many Thanks James Nicholls, Herts.

  43. The email address given to contact if people are interested in applying to be on show does not work. The phone number given also suggests it is not taking messages. I would be grateful if you could provide an email address to contact. Thanks Chandan Mahal
