In London's South Kensington, property enthusiast Galia Grainger wants to create the perfect bedroom in a multimillion-pound flat which hasn't been touched for years. A catalogue of hold-ups, pressure from nearby residents and a strained relationship with her builder Greg all begin to affect the schedule. As deadline after deadline is broken, Galia begins to despair that she will ever see either the end of the build or the assembly of her beloved £50,000 bed.

In Royal Leamington Spa, builder Andy Graham takes on the renovation of a Victorian townhouse for client Kristian Goode. But Kristian's indecisiveness, a worsening financial situation and the proposed addition of a particularly flamboyant towel rail all make for tense times.
