Cowboy Builders (UK) Season 2 Episode 4 West Country

In the fourth episode of season two of Cowboy Builders, entitled "West Country," presenters Melinda Messenger and Dominic Littlewood head to the rolling hills of Somerset to help a family in desperate need of renovation assistance. The homeowners, the Stark family, have been living in a dilapidated farm house for the past five years, struggling to make ends meet while dealing with multiple health problems and financial constraints.

The Stark family's home, a beautiful 300-year-old farm house, has fallen into disrepair due to years of neglect and poor maintenance. The roof is leaking, the walls are damp and the floors are uneven. The family has been forced to live in just one room of the house as the others are too dangerous to inhabit.

Melinda and Dominic quickly discover that the Stark family has been taken advantage of by several cowboy builders in the past, leaving them with unfinished projects and shoddy workmanship. The presenters take it upon themselves to find local tradespeople who can help to rectify the previous builder's mistakes and get the house back into a safe and livable condition.

The episode follows the team as they work to repair the leaking roof, replace rotting timbers, and install new flooring. However, the biggest challenge comes when the team discovers that the house has been infested with woodworm and needs to be treated before any more damage can be done. This adds considerable time and expense to the renovation project, putting a strain on both the family and the builders.

Throughout the renovation process, Melinda and Dominic work with the family to ensure that their needs and preferences are taken into account. The family has been living in cramped conditions for so long that they have forgotten what it is like to have a home that is safe and welcoming. Melinda and Dominic are determined to help them create a space that the family can be proud of.

As the project comes to an end, the team works hard to ensure that the family's expectations have been met. The finished product is a beautiful and functional home that the family can finally call their own. The Stark family is overjoyed with the results, and the presenters leave Somerset with a sense of pride and satisfaction at having helped a family in need.

Overall, Cowboy Builders "West Country" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the impact that good builders can have on the lives of those they help. It also serves as a warning to homeowners to do their due diligence when hiring builders to ensure that they do not fall prey to cowboy builders who will do more harm than good.
