Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
Hey!
The homes of Britain are
stacked with old possessions.
Mmm, now I've got my first item.
What looks like junk can actually be
worth a pretty penny.
I've just got a little bit excited.
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for a while.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that clutter into
hard cash.
We're going to get great money for them.
For Henry and his mechanic...
I don't think you should be looking
at that, mate.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
Oh, yes!
Whilst upcycling genius Simon
and his restorer love turning
everyday objects into fantastic furniture.
Oh, that's perfect!
Oh, look. Feast your eyes.
I reckon you have done great things.
Can we go in the fire engine? Yes,
you can, Si!
Despite their different approaches,
they make the old turn into gold.
Going back with you, Alan, is
£6,380. Wow.
What am I going to do with all that?
Today, Simon gets the ride of his life.
Can we go in the fire engine? Yes,
we can, Si!
I'm driving.
Henry gets clobbered.
Oh!
SIMON LAUGHS
I thought that was you!
THEY LAUGH
And at the valuation,...
Take a look.
...hard work gets appreciated.
Wow, that is impressive.
You're mates with the Duke of
Marlborough?
Well, I wouldn't say I'm mates, but
I do know him.
So his relationship with you is very
similar to my relationship with you?
Yeah.
Neither of us like you, but we know you.
You don't mean that, do you?
Well, I don't mean it if you've
got the jelly babies.
HENRY SQUEALS AND SIMON LAUGHS
Today the boys are in Oxfordshire,
home of the Duke of Marlborough, who
lives in England's largest house,
Blenheim Palace - the birthplace and
ancestral home of Winston Churchill.
Don't tell me you know the people
who own Blenheim Palace!
Yeah, I do, yeah.
You are the poshest person I've ever met.
He may be posh, but he's also
cunning as a fox,
as he's taken Simon back to the
scene of one of his greatest victories.
We're going to go back to the
Markham brothers.
Tractors.
Well, as you know,
there are a few four-wheeled
agricultural vehicles on site.
Here we go, mate.
SIMON SIGHS
Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Er...
Last time at the Markhams',
Henry got high...
Oh!
...for a classic oil dispenser.
And Simon scored highly with his
restoration work.
This was a good week for you,
wasn't it? We had fun.
So, Henry is pulling Simon back to
the Markhams' to see Dick, the other brother.
Simon and Henry came before.
They didn't really see everything
last time, because it was just too much.
You never know what you're going to
find here.
Dick, how are you, mate?
Hello, Henry. Nice to see you again.
Lovely to see you. That's Simon.
Hello, Simon.
Very pleased to meet you. Nice to
meet you.
Mate, thanks for having us back,
cos we had such a good time with
Melvin. Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? I thought
there's other stuff to discover with
you, mate.
Is there other stuff to discover?
Yeah. We've got some bits and pieces
coming in all the time.
See you later, mate. Cheers, Dick.
All right. See, mate? Hey, look.
Eeny-meeny...
Let's start this end. This end. I
don't know why I want to, but I do.
As usual the boys need to pick two
items to fix up,
and then flog to make Dick some
extra dough.
Oh. Oh, right. That's a bit of rope.
Yeah, get some money for old rope.
Yeah, money for old rope.
I'll tell you what, mate, you've
made some.
DOOR CLANGS
Keep going!
HENRY STRAINS
Oh!
SIMON LAUGHS
I thought that was you!
THEY LAUGH
I get one door, Henry gets the other
door, and then he just gets
clattered!
I am hurting, both mentally and
physically, but does Simon care?
I thought you were jumping on me.
I thought, "What's he doing?"
For some of the places he's taken
me, he had that coming.
Perhaps this will knock some sense
into Henry.
Simon has already spotted something
he likes.
There you go.
Yeah, so you sit in there.
And what are you doing?
Pulling ale? So, yeah, you can't
resist a lever, can you?
You're on the right lines.
Oh, is it an alcohol thing?
It's an alcohol thing.
You put your bottle there, your
bottle of wine there, you do that,
it puts the cork in.
I think you've got two possible
markets with that bottle corker.
One would be, you know, you've got
this explosion in people doing home
brews and microbrewery and that
kind of stuff,
but just as easily it could just sit
in the corner of a room,
and it's just a really nice historic peace.
So, a really good market for that.
I'm very excited about that piece.
So, Simon snagged his first item,
but Henry's not far behind.
HENRY GRUNTS
Stay there, cloth.
What do you reckon, man?
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for while.
That, mate?
Well, it is what it is. It's a lamp.
A big one, though, isn't it?
We could blast that, paint it a
beautiful colour, put some new glass in,
that is a simple resto.
Henry's chosen an ornamental lamp
from the early 20th century
which was reclaimed from a disused factory.
And with two items from two containers,
the boys want to see what's behind
door number three.
There's a lot of stuff here, mate.
Oh, dear. Where do you start, though?
When I opened the door it was
just a sea of junk.
You know, obviously, Dick had just
lobbed all the rubbish
that he'd found in various sheds
around the county.
But even in a sea of junk,
you may just find some buried treasure.
SIMON GRUNTS
No, that's no good.
SIMON LAUGHS
What's that? A lamp?
Do you think a lamp or a heater?
It might be a heater. Yeah, with a
reflector on, isn't there?
Paraffin in there. Yeah.
Spark it up. Yeah.
Off you go. Yeah.
Yes, Simon it's a large Tilley
radiator dating back to the 1950s,
but of course you already knew that.
I know what you're going to say,
though. You know what I'm going
to say.
Yeah, and I think you're right. I'm
going to say
you can have your big lamp, cos
I think I've got
a lovely little brass and copper lamp.
Hey, it's lantern wars.
When it comes to lanterns, it's all
a question of taste, isn't it?
Gauntlet, gauntlet. Gauntlet, down. Down.
When it comes to lantern wars, I
know I'm going to win.
That is going to be beautiful.
Well, there you go. I'm done. Two definites.
You're in trouble, mate.
So there I am, absolutely set, I've
got two beautiful items,
he's got one lantern which is quite nice.
Just because you're all smug that
you've got yourself a little lantern...
We are out of containers, my friend.
Mate, it's not over
till the Luton box van sings.
The what? I've seen a van over there.
Come to daddy.
What's it full of? Henry stuff.
Go on, son.
Motorbikes.
Oh, that's not bad. There you go.
OK, so what is it?
It's a little Bantam two-stroke.
Can I not bore you with that, then?
I won't bore you. You can bore me a
little bit.
That's a lovely little trials bike.
Originally BSA Bantam for the road
from the '50s, really cheap transport.
But people found out that they're
great little bikes to convert for
off-road competition use.
That, seeing as I'm desperate,
will clean up, and I'm sure we can
get it going.
Guy'd quite like that. I've now
got my second item.
You have. Well done.
Yeah, come on then, mate. Let's go
and see...
He'll probably say, "You can't have
that, mate. It was my son's," Or
something, you know whatI mean?
Come on, then. I'll take over. Yeah, yeah.
So, that's the search done.
Right, I'll start off.
On the end there, old paraffin
heater of some sort, isn't it?
Yeah, that's right. I think it
would be absolutely lovely.
This man has got a good eye. A
really good eye because, well,
you don't see that every day, do
you? No.
It's a bottle corker, isn't it?
French. Not going to do too much
to it, but just get it working again.
If it's OK, I'm going to take those
two items.
Yes, great, fine. Great stuff. Now,
look, as far as I'm concerned,
obviously, I couldn't leave without
a motorcycle. Do you know what I
mean?
So if it's OK with you, I'm going to
take that away,
get her going and hopefully make
some money for you.
No problem. Now, from the sublime to
the ridiculous, really, but I love it.
Actually it's going to turn this
into lantern wars, Dick, between me
and Simon.
Well, Dick, look, thank you so much.
No problem. I really appreciate it. Great.
Coming up...
Guy's a bright spark.
We're in with a chance.
Simon puts his foot down.
No, Gemma, it will not be bright pink.
And both boys come to the rescue.
SIREN WAILS
I love it! I want it!
Restorers and upcyclers
Simon O'Brien and Henry Cole
are creating dosh
from the discarded.
Gauntlet. Down. Down!
Hey, it's lantern wars!
And Henry's back home in Oxfordshire
to reveal his fabulous finds.
Henry's secret weapon in
the lantern wars is Guy Willison,
his best mate and chief of all
the clutter Henry finds.
I mean, take a look, will you?
Yes. So let's start with the garden
lamp, mate.
That's just the kind of thing that
you'd find anywhere in any shed.
The battle plan is to paint it
a colour
that will blow Simon's effort
out of the water.
Yeah, I was thinking a lovely red.
All right, so that's that, mate.
Next, BSA Bantam,
I think it's a 175. Yes.
I think we should just flay off
these mudguard stays
and the exhaust pipe and then
just give it a lick of paint.
Yeah. Clean it up, get it going.
Now, how much do you love
off-road riding?
I've never really done it.
That "never" will be
a thing of the past.
I hate to admit it, I think I might
need some tuition from you
and I don't think I've ever said
that before, ever!
Let's get on with it, then.
So the boys immediately get motoring
by removing the mudguard.
Doing so will give them
easier access
to the hard to reach areas
of the bike.
I've got a feeling this mudguard,
although the bolts are going to
come out easily,
might be a bit of a swine.
It's not going to come through.
Yeah, it is. It's not.
It is. That's wider than that.
No, it's fine. Oh, that'll go.
I am actually surprised.
Yeah, well, you need to pay
attention, son, cos I tell you what,
that was easy.
And with that, Guy is left to clean
the mudguard
and re-spray the exhaust.
I think that's OK.
I don't think it needs another coat.
We'll wait and let it dry
and then have another look.
With the paint drying, Henry and Guy
can attack the lantern.
First up, the dirty old glass
has to be removed.
Open the little door. I think this
one... That will just drop out.
That's an easy one, look.
Go on, mate. There we go. OK.
So we've got the glass out.
That's a result.
But getting rid of the old candle
wax takes a lot of heat.
I know you've been wanting to
do this.
Go on, do it. Go on, spark it up.
That's it.
I think this is a bit savage.
Yeah, go on, mate. Get involved!
Quick. Oh, she's lit!
Look at that, how lovely.
There you go, look.
Look at that, Guy.
I'm not so stupid, you know.
No, that's fantastic, mate.
Here, that's good. So that's the way
to get a candle out.
We're there, aren't we?
Mate, that's it.
Look at that. That's beautiful.
With just a blowtorch used,
the lantern's ready to be shipped to
the sandblasters for phase two
of Henry's battleplan.
Meanwhile in Liverpool, Simon's
items are confusing his assistant,
Gemma Longworth.
I've no idea what it is, Simon.
Gemma is Simon's upcycling queen,
and when it comes to re-purposing
the everyday, she's your woman.
But will she be impressed with
Simon's mystery item?
It's a bottle corker.
Is it? Yeah. Clean it up.
Good clean. Get it working.
Let's try and put a cork
in a bottle. OK.
No, Gemma.
It will not be bright pink.
OK.
Never mind, Gemma.
I'm sure you'll get to use
your pink paint one day.
On to Simon's next item.
This is my second item.
Simon's picked a paraffin radiator
made from brass and copper.
But it's lacking a little TLC.
It's a bit dirty, isn't it?
It is. It comes with the traditional
guano, yes, yes,
which might need a little bit of
cleaning off.
Simon's scheme is to polish it up
and change it into a lamp although
Gemma's not so sure.
The other alternative,
I was thinking,
is put a candle holder in it.
I think it might be worth a bit more
money if we could put a bulb in it,
though. OK.
We could get it as a lamp.
All right, well,
that needs cleaning up.
And I guess we also need,
the most important thing we need
now, Gemma...
Yeah. ..is we
need a bottle of wine to empty,
to try out our bottle corker.
I can get on to that, Simon. If you
could. Not a problem. Thank you.
Get a couple of glasses as well.
Yeah. OK.
No time for drowning any sorrows
as Gemma needs to polish
the brass and copper.
She uses good old-fashioned
soap and water and a buffer,
which are available from most
hardware stores.
Oh, it's shiny.
Gemma is cleaning up today as her
next task
is to tackle the bottle corker.
Starting on the metal,
she uses wire wool
to remove the rust
and expose the original ironwork.
I know we're not to add
pink and purple paint
and I think this is the time for it.
I'm just going to clean it back
and then we'll put a bit of
black polish on it.
After a light sanding,
she cleans around the mechanism and
this restoration is well under way.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's revved up
for a key day.
Right, today is D-Day
for our little Bantam.
Let's hope we get a spark, because
then we are halfway there.
And Guy is the man with a plan.
Attaching a new spark plug
outside the engine,
to test whether the Bantam will live
to fight another day.
Have you got a spark yet, or what?
I haven't tried yet.
I need your assistance.
OK, so, look, what we've got to do, right,
is try to get this little spark plug
here to spark, OK?
And if that sparks,
that means that the electrics,
what there are of them here,
actually work.
Ready? Try it.
Yes, yes. Really? Yes, definitely.
Yeah. No, you're joking.
I'm not. We're in with a chance.
Hey-hey!
We're in with a chance, troops.
That's fantastic.
Having added sparkle,
they need to add shine by using
a wire brush and a metal polish.
And if you compare that to that,
you know, that's a transformation
in itself.
Once we've got it going
and it's looking great,
we'll take you
for your first lesson.
Best of luck, son.
I hope I don't write it off.
Whilst Henry goes off to buy some
extra life insurance, across town,
professional car resprayer Darren
has hit problems with the
garden lantern.
After blasting, it's disintegrated
in certain areas,
so we've got lots of holes
showing through.
But that's the patina of it, so as
he says, we'll carry on and powder.
After spraying a coat of primer,
the red powder is added, then baked
to provide a glossy finish.
When the lights flicker on it, the
metallic comes up through the red.
It just looks fabulous.
Henry's restoration is looking
the business and in Liverpool,
Gemma's is turning out to be
a corker, too.
Now, I'm just filling all the little
holes where the worms have been.
Next, Gemma oils the mechanism,
treats the metal
with a black polish,
before painting the handle.
And then once the wax
is over the top of it,
it should all tie in nicely.
I'm going to give this
an antique pine look.
OK, just going to buff off the
excess wax and then it's all done.
Elsewhere, Simon's busy
with the brass lamp.
He's making a candle holder
to attach to the base.
Really gouge out the rest of
the middle there.
Get rid of the rough edges,
polish it up, job's a good'un.
And it's up to Gemma to make
Simon's contraption work.
Right, let's see what it looks like
with a candle in.
I don't think I'm impressed.
Hmm, it seems Gemma has other plans
up her sleeve and maybe taking Simon
back to the drawing board
on this one.
But for now, Simon's taking Henry to
his choice of location to help
dad-to-be Pete Marshall.
With a baby on the way, a bit of
money, that would be really helpful,
you know. It's an expensive time.
We are going to a place. Now,
it's a reclamation yard, right?
But it's got everything that you can
possibly think of.
You're going to love this. I just
don't like the word reclamation,
you know. No, it's fine. There'll
be stuff for you. Come on, come on.
Pete, how are you? How are we doing?
Good to see you. Very good indeed.
How are you doing, mate?
Hey, when we browse
and we've got something, Pete,
what would you spend the money on?
We're just about to have a baby.
Are you really? It's an expensive time.
It is a very expensive time.
We're going to need to make you
a few bob, mate.
We'd better get going. We'd better.
Cheers, mate. Brilliant.
Cheers, pal. See you in a bit.
All right. Excited! Do you think
we'll be invited to the shower?
So the pressure's on to salvage two
items each to provide Pete
with some bounty for his baby.
Now, these are nice up here.
What? Look.
These lockers. I've always wanted to
do something with lockers.
You could just blast those,
paint them a really funky colour.
Come on, mate, look.
The louvres. That gives a bit of
period vibe to it.
The red one, a little bit of rust
on the bottom.
The grey one, looks pretty mint
to me.
I'm going to take the grey one away.
We can make something beautiful
out of them.
Do you know, the intrinsic
difference between you and I
is demonstrated in
this ten-foot here.
Right? Why? Because you were drawn
to them immediately, weren't you?
Yeah. Lockers.
Yeah. And you actually walked across
things of beauty to get there.
Given the choice
between those lockers
and those beautiful elm beams...
Well, there is no choice.
This looks like a deconstructed barn
of some sort.
Yeah. This is going to be elm.
This is beautiful.
See that, the natural curve
they've given it there?
Yeah. Yeah. Now, that, to me,
feels like the curvature
of the back of a bench.
It seems Simon has grand plans
for this wood
by turning it into a bench.
Not complicated, just good, solid,
and make the most of that
lovely wood.
Are we off to a good start?
I think we could be.
Come on, mate. We're doing well,
I'm liking this "reclamation yard".
I'm telling you.
Knew you'd love it.
Half an hour in,
two items selected already,
the boys are smoking hot today.
Quick, call the fire brigade!
Hey, Si, look at this, man.
Wow. Hey, Pete.
Mate!
That's well cool,
where did that come from?
This was the stand-by fire engine
for Wandsworth paper mill.
The one thing that you're not
expecting to find
in a reclamation yard
is a fire engine.
Hey, happy days!
Do you want to go? Mate, come on.
Yeah!
Come on. Can we go in the
fire engine?
Yes, you can, Simon.
Can we go in the fire engine?
I'm driving.
Driving a fire engine?
Rock on, man!
Here we go, son.
Now we're cutting grass.
Hey, this is it. Quick.
Oh, Pete, this is brilliant, mate.
Most importantly,
guess what it's got!
SIREN WAILS
Have you got...? Oh, yes, please!
Nee-noo-nee-noo-nee-noo!
I love it! I want it.
Hey, man, I was a five-year-old
all over again.
Sorry, boys, playtime's over.
Quick, out!
It's time to get back to your
day job and find your final items.
Luckily, Simon's soon spotted
a barrowful of potential.
Oh, look, mate. You can't upcycle
a wheelbarrow.
What have you got there?
Not the wheelbarrow.
Telegraph poles. Yeah.
Yeah? They're for walking up
telegraph poles, aren't they?
Telegraph pole footstep things?
Huh?
So what,
we need to find a telegraph pole?
No! Look.
Look. Yeah?
You've got shelf brackets.
Oh, right, an even longer shelf.
You've got coat hooks.
You've got anything.
And there's a barrowful of them.
These, mate, are a definite, definite.
We're going to take the lot
and have a laugh.
I just had to have them.
Because they're just really cool
brackets and you never see them.
And what are they worth? Nothing.
But they're going to be.
Hey, good, man.
I like those a lot.
Shall we leave them there, just for
the mo? OK. Come on. I'm happy.
Simon has hooked his second item
and his work here is done.
Henry has some catching up to do.
Oh, that's nice. Little bit of
a trolley experience.
Oh, that is nice.
What do you reckon?
Yeah.
Is it complete?
Bit weird with that sack trolley.
I mean, it's old, that thing.
That's weird, innit? I tell you what
you could do with this, son.
Go on. Eh? You could take it easy.
Wrong way for carrying sacks,
right way for lying down.
Ahem!
What do you reckon?
Do you know what, that's not
your worst idea ever, is it?
Yeah, tell me I'm great.
But all in all
I'm thrilled with that find.
We're done, aren't we?
Let's go and find Pete.
And they're done.
Time to show Pete their final picks.
Pete, what a brilliant time
we've had, honestly.
I was on fire today.
We are very happy.
What do you think?
Different. We like to be
different, though, don't we, mate?
Nice bit of elm. If it's OK,
I'm taking those three pieces.
My second choice is...
A wheelbarrow?!
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The old BT stays.
Yeah. Do you know why
I'm taking them?
Because I've never seen them
anywhere else before.
Right. I am very happy.
And so am I, actually.
The lockers over there, Pete,
for me,
I just want to repurpose them
into what they are, basically,
but do them really nicely.
Let's check out the next item,
shall we?
I reckon that's going to be
a pukka sun lounger.
Just wait and see.
It's going to be great.
I'm liking the ideas. Listen, mate,
keep gathering the treasure.
Coming up... An unexpected find.
Don't think you should be looking at
that, mate.
Simon's got a big one.
Oh, my word.
Look at them.
They're massive!
And Dick finds out how much dough
they've made.
Feast your eyes.
I reckon you've done...
great things.
Generals of junk Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien are repurposing
rubbish into piles of pounds.
That's not your worst idea ever, is
it? Yeah, tell me I'm great.
The boys are back at their barracks
and Simon is showing his restoration
partner, Gemma, the wood.
Oh, my word! Look at them.
They're massive.
They are elm, which is at least 300
years old.
Well, to say that they're old,
they're in quite good condition,
aren't they?
This is just gorgeous wood.
Simon wants to carve out a profit
from building it into a bench,
but Gemma's not sure about Simon's
big idea.
A big bench?
Yeah. Who's going to want a bench
this big?
Someone with a big family!
THEY LAUGH
And a big garden! If Gemma isn't
convinced with the wooden beams,
what will she make of the foot pegs?
I don't even know what to say, Simon.
What are we supposed to do with
these? Aren't they great?
I've never seen anything like them before.
Apparently, we see them every day
but I've never noticed them.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking of uses
for them, Simon.
That's the challenge. Yeah.
Let's let our imagination go with
these, yeah?
Gemma's first out of the blocks with
an idea.
And she immediately dispatches some
of the foot pegs to a blacksmith to
be galvanised.
Meanwhile, Simon and handyman friend
Phil work up a sweat with a saw to
cut the beams down to bench size.
Phil, Phil, seeing as you're making
me do all the work,
can you just come and grab this end, please?
But there's a problem with a
300-year-old nail.
Ah, the joys of using second-hand
wood.
This is our last cut.
And then...
...we are good to go.
And look at that!
You know,
people see it and they think it's
got woodworm in and think,
"Oh, that wood's finished."
Once you cut through there like
that, beautiful,
clean elm, ready to go.
In Oxford, Henry and Guy are, erm,
contemplating the locker.
Don't think you should be looking at
that, mate.
Just forget about the naughty pictures.
Yes. OK? That is a nice louvred
locker, right?
A nice period one with patina, yes.
It could go a lovely colour.
A nice anthracite.
What the hell's that?
Oh, you know what, grey!
Well, say grey, then.
Then, inside, and I'm not opening
that door, no, right?
Get rid of the foliage.
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
And have a really, really event colour.
With some nickel plating for the knobs,
this restoration is sure to set
their pulses racing for the second
time today.
And now for something
completely different.
That was at some point, I think, a
sack trolley.
A very old one. An ancient one, yes.
Get yourself down here on a summer's
day.
Yeah, be careful.
You put your feet up like that.
Yeah. Right?
Yeah. But I think we need a metal
bar there.
Yes. Yeah. Definitely.
And the piece de resistance is a
couple of cushions.
Yeah. Yeah. And we've got ourselves
and upcycled sun lounger.
Now, you happy with that?
Yes. I know you're happy with that, definitely.
Yeah, all right. Well, let's get it
on, then.
So, Guy gets straight on with the
sack trolley, building new brackets,
sanding it down and strengthening it up.
All that's left is to do is some wax wizardry.
I'm using old pine wax to darken it
all down,
cos there's a few slightly different
colours where it's been repaired
over donkeys' years.
And hopefully, that'll equal it up a
bit and it won't be so noticeable.
With the sack trolley progressing
nicely and the lockers sent off for
powder coating, the Oxford boys are
well under way.
But in Liverpool,
Simon and handyman Phil are getting
to grips with the bench.
Don't forget the, er...
We've got the lines for it, haven't
we? Yeah.
This, mate, will be what everyone
wants to match as far as work goes.
This will be the benchmark.
Having cut the wood to specific sizes,
the boys fix it all together with
large coach screws.
Brilliant, there you go.
HE LAUGHS
So, hopefully, this should now just
marry, shouldn't it?
It's OK, Phil, I'll do this one.
HE GROANS
Right, Phil. Take a seat.
And I reckon...
That's a good job done, that, mate.
Great. Get the sander.
With the back attached,
the boys are sitting pretty, and
Gemma attempts to pretty up some of
the pegs that haven't gone to the
blacksmith's.
I'm going to try and add a little
bit of colour and see what they
look like.
This is just gloss spray paint that
I'm using.
I wanted, like, an industrial look,
so I went with gloss.
Whilst the pegs dry, Gemma takes a
delivery from the blacksmith.
Wow!
So, these are the foot pegs after
they've been galvanised.
They look brilliant!
Simon's going to love them.
They're really good.
They've come up well.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's lockers are
getting a new lease of life with a
startling combination of metallic
grey and orange.
Whilst Darren's crew paint, back at
base, Henry's inspecting Guy's work.
Mate, I've got to tell you, man,
you have done an unbelievable job on this.
I have found this very rewarding.
I was dreading it when you showed me this.
I thought, "This is wood."
You know what I'm like with wood.
I find it so tricky, but this has
come up beautifully.
Henry's so taken that it's
completely changed his original plan.
So, we've decided, haven't we, no
cushions, leave it lovely,
so the world can see this wood.
Yeah, you just need to do a bit of that.
Oh, yeah. Cheers, mate. I'll make
the tea, for a change.
You can do that. Go on, then. And
I'll polish this up and it's done.
Whilst Henry buffs up,
back in Liverpool,
Simon is checking up on the finished
finds from today's first location.
The bottle corker has been cleaned up,
painted and polished and just awaits
Simon's approval.
Hello, hello. What d'you think?
Tres bon!
Looks good, doesn't it? As they say,
in French vineyards!
And have we got all the bits
working?
It does. It works.
Ah, that's so cool!
Let's make some calls, cos I
reckon that a little,
one of the little gastro boozers,
something like that.
That's got to be a fantastic display
item, hasn't it?
Definitely. There you go.
Looking great.
Next up is Simon's lamp, and Gemma
still has her concerns.
I don't think I'm impressed.
So she's secretly got an electrician
to fix a bulb fitting instead.
But will Simon see the light?
Hi! Where's my candle?
Oh, yeah. Erm...
I've replaced it.
Well, I can see that. But look...
Yeah! Looks really, really cool.
Does look better. It do...
I wouldn't say better. It looks
really cool.
It does look good. Yes.
You had a light bulb moment,
didn't you?
I did, yeah. Couldn't help myself.
I'm glad we discuss things and
decide what things are going to be
and then
I go away and come back and...
Most of the time, I agree.
Just not on this occasion.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's about to
find out if the Bantam is a runner.
Right, here goes nothing.
Full revs.
ENGINE REVS
Yes!
How does it feel?
Oh, it's all right.
Is it? Yeah, yeah.
Can we go off...? It's good. Can we
go off-road on it?
Mate, I think you might be ready for
your first lesson.
Great. Hey, hey!
And the boys waste no time hitting
the open...
er, gravel path.
As Guy takes to motocross like a
duck to water.
Come on, then. What do you reckon?
I really, really enjoyed it.
In fact, I want another go.
You're not having another go, mate.
No?
No. You might crash it on the other go.
Possibly. We're selling it.
OK. Come on.
But all good things come to an end
as Henry's found a buyer.
All right, mate. All right. Yeah,
nice one.
Yeah, you'll have fun riding it.
I promise you, especially at that
price!
All right, all right. Cheers, bud.
Bye. Bye-bye.
But will Henry have sold Dick short?
With one item sold,
Guy takes delivery of Henry's other
money-maker,
the lantern. Guy furnishes the
lantern with brand-new glass and
Henry is on hand to provide the
vital spark.
This is just going to top it off.
A double-wick candle.
What do you think? Hang on.
Let's just spark it up. We'll just
have a little look, shall we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it.
And I reckon that's worth some
money, mate.
Yeah. Good job.
But will Henry's restoration be
worth a pretty profit?
It's time for the valuation of the
items they found at Henry's
location.
Come on in, mate.
How are you? How are we doing?
All right? Good to see you.
OK? Hello, Henry.
Well, look. Feast your eyes.
What do you reckon? Lovely.
That's the idea. Go and have a look, mate.
That's come out beautiful.
It has, hasn't it? Yeah.
And that's a corker.
I tell you what, I'm glad you done
something with that, Simon.
I was waiting to pass it on to someone.
THEY LAUGH
Yeah. You saw me coming, didn't you?
That's nice. That has come out nice.
Come and join us again, mate.
Yeah, come on over, Dick.
So, Dick, what do you reckon?
I reckon you've done great things.
Thank you. Obviously, the lamp
over there, unloved, rusting away.
Yeah. Glass broken. Yeah.
When I found that in an old sawmill,
I thought,
"Somebody will do something with
that."
And somebody did. And there you go.
Moving on, you know, French
vineyard, it's a lovely old thing.
Yeah. We haven't done much with it,
except we've got it in complete
working order again,
because it is a functional item.
Gave it a bit of cleaning up and I'm
really pleased with how it's turned out.
The timber's come up nice,
hasn't it?
But are they worth any money?
That's not up to us to decide.
It's up to our independent valuer.
Elisicia Moore runs a store
specialising in restored and
upcycled furniture.
She knows the true market price for
the boys' items.
Let's start with the bike, Elisicia,
shall we? Yeah. Come on, as it's
closest.
Yes, sounds good.
175 BSA Bantam. Looks lovely, shined
it up nice and pretty.
The Bantam trials bike was
refurbished for £100.
Is it registered and is it a real
trial bike
or is it a faux trial bike?
Well, firstly, it doesn't have
registration documents.
OK. You know, it's purely for
off-road,
you can't ride that on the road as
it is.
OK. So, unfortunately, probably
closer to £500 is a fair estimate,
easy-to-achieve price.
Luckily, that's exactly what Henry
sold it for,
delivering a £400 profit.
OK, lamp. Yeah.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
Pretty thing, isn't it?
It's just lovely.
Bright and cheery. You see them all
the time in garden centres in silver
but you never see them in red.
So the first part of lantern wars
delivers costs of £65 for sandblasting,
re-spraying and new glass.
I think you could really easily
expect to get about £130 for that.
And that's another £65 profit for Dick.
Moving on, a bottle corker.
Yes. It's pretty.
It's interesting. I think the best
way to achieve money with this is to
try to sell it into a shop as a
retail display.
It cost just £10 to refurbish the
old bottle corker.
£90 for the bottle corker.
£90 for that beautiful piece of
history in fully functional order?
No. Yes. Come on, Elisicia. I think
that is well worth £100.
Come on. Go into three figures.
I will meet you in the middle at 95.
How about that? Who is worried about
a fiver?
Lovely, thanks.
OK, I'll take that.
All in all, that makes a profit of
£85.
Be more generous, please, with that
beautiful one-off gorgeous brass lamp.
I know you love your motorbikes but
I think the lamp is the show stopper.
I think it's the winner of the lot.
Oh, well, I don't see it.
THEY LAUGH
The restoration cost £40 for an
electrician and a new bulb.
It's on trend. It's a great size.
I think a really fair estimate's
£130 for the lamp.
Wow! So the lamp has made £90 for Dick,
meaning Simon has won lantern wars.
So, Dick, look, in total, less our costs,
we're giving you the pricely sum of
£640.
Beautiful. Wow! Is that good?
That's all right, isn't it? That's
good. Brilliant. Oh, mate.
I can spend that. Pleasure.
On another bike.
Yeah! I can come over and...
Yeah.
Boys and their bikes.
Thank you very much.
Lovely. Thanks, good to see you.
That means Henry's choice of
location has given Dick a delightful
£640 to spend as he wishes.
I'm over the moon. And they've made
me some good money.
They know what they're doing and
it's brilliant.
Brilliant for us. We can keep
collecting the rubbish and they can
keep recycling it!
Coming up - Gemma
is happy with Simon's work.
This is really impressive.
Henry isn't helping Guy with his.
Come on, come on. Keep pushing.
You're going in the right way.
And they both face the valuation.
What do you reckon, mate? Lovely.
That's a nice touch.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
converting clutter into cash.
Hoo-hoo!
Henry's choice of location
made Dick £640.
I reckon you've done great things.
It's now up to Simon to pile on
the profit for his choice of barn.
So, Simon's team are finishing off
his converted barn beam bench.
So far, they've cut the wood to size
and screwed it together.
All that's left is for Simon to
sand off the rough surface,
and Gemma to add a little
Danish oil, and hey presto!
This is really impressive.
A few simple cuts from a bit of wood
lying around,
and now we've got
a lovely useful bench.
Onto the metal pegs.
With Gemma having resprayed some of
them and galvanised the rest,
it's time for Simon to get
a cut of the action,
cutting the wood to make the shelf.
That is gonna be brilliant.
I think, we'll put about -
it only needs a couple
but just for the effect -
I think we'll put about five,
possibly six, along it.
Oh, that's brilliant.
And then, as a secondary by-product
for nothing,
how about a series of coat hooks?
Gemma is enlisted to finish
the coat rack.
There we go, all done.
All finished.
Now, I didn't know what to make of
those foot pegs to start with,
but I'm actually quite impressed.
That looks really good.
But, with the all-important
valuation coming up,
will Simon's foot supports give him
the leg up that he needs?
In Oxford, Guy is struggling
with the freshly returned lockers.
I need a hand!
LAUGHTER
Come on! I can't see.
Come on, come on. Keep pushing.
You're going in the right way!
The lockers have had
a luminous lick of paint,
courtesy of Darren's sandblasting
and powder coating.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, get rid of this.
Mate, that is lovely.
What do you reckon?
That is absolutely beautiful.
What do you think?
I think it's lovely,
I can't wait to see the inside,
I haven't looked inside yet.
Guy adds two nickel-plated knobs
for around £60.
And these luscious lockers are
ready to rock.
You know what,
the great thing about this is,
is it's just going to look well
either in a house, or in a man cave.
Stand back, sir. What do you reckon?
Yeah, I love it.
With the sack trolley having been strengthened
by adding brass brackets
and a metal bar,
sanded, waxed and polished,
Henry reckons he's sitting pretty
for a money-spinning valuation.
With Pete's wife due to give birth
any minute,
he has sent his colleague, Scott,
to collect his winnings.
Thanks for coming. How are you,
mate? Good thank you, are you?
Well, take a look. Wow.
Feel free, have a nose around, mate.
That's, that's, that is impressive.
Take a seat, mate. Yeah, that is
a lovely bench.
You could get about 13 people
on that.
What you reckon, mate? Lovely.
Open the door. Open the door, son.
Oh. Cool. That's a nice touch.
I like it. It's amazing
what you can do with reclaim items.
Well, you know better than anyone.
You know what I mean?
Gives people an inspiration
of what they can do.
Hopefully
that's what we're all about.
So, you know, look,
you look at them,
they're telegraph pole
climbing pegs.
You know, I mean, what...
You know,
you literally had of boxes of them.
What are they worth? There were
just rusting out the back.
What are they worth?
But, you know what?
With a bit of imagination,
just an example of what you can do
with that kind of stuff.
It's very good. But, you know,
have we made you any money,
that's the question, isn't it?
We might love the stuff,
but, well, to find out that,
we're going to be joined by our
rather too independent valuer, Adam.
Come on, Adam, come and join us.
With two decades' experience,
auction house owner Adam Partridge
can accurately value anything.
Talk to me about
what would really, I think,
be valueless telegraph pole pegs.
I really like
what you've done, yeah.
What a great use of something
that was redundant!
Simon has polished up the pegs
for the bargain price of £40.
I'm thinking of pricing them
at about...
Well, let's say 150 quid, the lot.
So, Simon steps up with £110 profit.
Let's move on.
Yeah, let's do move on.
Yeah. Cos you know what?
I'd hoped you like it, we love it.
I like the bench as well.
The bench hardly broke the bank,
costing only £20 to construct.
It's a good chunky thing,
that'll live outdoors as well as
on a terrace or a conservatory.
I think there's a number of uses
for it,
and it's not going anywhere, is it?
No. Come on. Well, I'm thinking of
about £300 for that.
I might have to throw in
20 quid here.
Why? Because I've actually sold that.
Oh. Have you? Yeah.
For 280 quid.
Oh. So, there's a profit
to you guys -
I will throw in the 20 quid seeing
as I've gone and sold it -
therefore, £280.
Wow.
So, that's a pretty profit of £280.
Come on then. I like these as well.
Do you? I like them very much. Yeah.
Henry took the lockers and spent
£165 on a new paint job
and nickel-plated handles.
Really nice finish on them,
always a nice finish.
The orange interior
really brightens them up.
It's a nice shock
when you open them.
It's got a good lick to it. Yeah.
I think lots of people
would like to own them,
and I think quite a few of them
would be prepared
to pay 300 quid for them.
And someone has,
as Henry sold it for that figure
and has locked in a profit of £135.
Right, well, last but no means least
is my little trolley there.
Yeah. Well, I love the idea
of being trollied around
to the next sunny spot when you're
reclining on Lord Cole.
For £50, Henry's given
the sack trolley a lift.
Erm, I think it appeals
on a number of levels,
still as a trolley, really cool as
a portable garden seat,
and so, it has a multi-use.
And, my price on the trolley,
£250 for a movable
garden seat trolley.
Hey, look, mate,
I'm not going to argue
because I do think
that's a fair price.
Henry's rolled in a £200 profit
for Pete's little one.
We have made you,
from the bits hanging round
in the back of your place, £705.
Wow. Going to Pete. Wow.
But we also know, that most of it's
going towards the...
Baby. Yeah. Due any minute,
isn't it?
Any, any minute, yeah.
Hence him not being here.
But it's been an absolute pleasure
to see you, Scott. Thank you.
Send our regards. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Henry.
With Simon chucking in an extra
20 quid for underselling his bench,
a grand total of £725 is
heading to Pete.
The items that have been shown to me
today are absolutely fantastic
and Henry and Simon have done
a fantastic job too.
The money will definitely go
to good use for Pete and his baby.
Henry's choice of location raised
£640 for Dick.
But it was Simon's choice
of location,
Pete's reclamation yard that is
today's winner
with a grant total of £725.
I'll tell you
what was great, though,
was that, especially with the battle
of the lamps,
admittedly you won it...
I did, yeah.
...but we did produce
a couple of really nice items
from unloved goods, should we
call them. That is what we do.
Subtitles by Ericsson
The homes of Britain are
stacked with old possessions.
Mmm, now I've got my first item.
What looks like junk can actually be
worth a pretty penny.
I've just got a little bit excited.
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for a while.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
here to help turn that clutter into
hard cash.
We're going to get great money for them.
For Henry and his mechanic...
I don't think you should be looking
at that, mate.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
Oh, yes!
Whilst upcycling genius Simon
and his restorer love turning
everyday objects into fantastic furniture.
Oh, that's perfect!
Oh, look. Feast your eyes.
I reckon you have done great things.
Can we go in the fire engine? Yes,
you can, Si!
Despite their different approaches,
they make the old turn into gold.
Going back with you, Alan, is
£6,380. Wow.
What am I going to do with all that?
Today, Simon gets the ride of his life.
Can we go in the fire engine? Yes,
we can, Si!
I'm driving.
Henry gets clobbered.
Oh!
SIMON LAUGHS
I thought that was you!
THEY LAUGH
And at the valuation,...
Take a look.
...hard work gets appreciated.
Wow, that is impressive.
You're mates with the Duke of
Marlborough?
Well, I wouldn't say I'm mates, but
I do know him.
So his relationship with you is very
similar to my relationship with you?
Yeah.
Neither of us like you, but we know you.
You don't mean that, do you?
Well, I don't mean it if you've
got the jelly babies.
HENRY SQUEALS AND SIMON LAUGHS
Today the boys are in Oxfordshire,
home of the Duke of Marlborough, who
lives in England's largest house,
Blenheim Palace - the birthplace and
ancestral home of Winston Churchill.
Don't tell me you know the people
who own Blenheim Palace!
Yeah, I do, yeah.
You are the poshest person I've ever met.
He may be posh, but he's also
cunning as a fox,
as he's taken Simon back to the
scene of one of his greatest victories.
We're going to go back to the
Markham brothers.
Tractors.
Well, as you know,
there are a few four-wheeled
agricultural vehicles on site.
Here we go, mate.
SIMON SIGHS
Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Er...
Last time at the Markhams',
Henry got high...
Oh!
...for a classic oil dispenser.
And Simon scored highly with his
restoration work.
This was a good week for you,
wasn't it? We had fun.
So, Henry is pulling Simon back to
the Markhams' to see Dick, the other brother.
Simon and Henry came before.
They didn't really see everything
last time, because it was just too much.
You never know what you're going to
find here.
Dick, how are you, mate?
Hello, Henry. Nice to see you again.
Lovely to see you. That's Simon.
Hello, Simon.
Very pleased to meet you. Nice to
meet you.
Mate, thanks for having us back,
cos we had such a good time with
Melvin. Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? I thought
there's other stuff to discover with
you, mate.
Is there other stuff to discover?
Yeah. We've got some bits and pieces
coming in all the time.
See you later, mate. Cheers, Dick.
All right. See, mate? Hey, look.
Eeny-meeny...
Let's start this end. This end. I
don't know why I want to, but I do.
As usual the boys need to pick two
items to fix up,
and then flog to make Dick some
extra dough.
Oh. Oh, right. That's a bit of rope.
Yeah, get some money for old rope.
Yeah, money for old rope.
I'll tell you what, mate, you've
made some.
DOOR CLANGS
Keep going!
HENRY STRAINS
Oh!
SIMON LAUGHS
I thought that was you!
THEY LAUGH
I get one door, Henry gets the other
door, and then he just gets
clattered!
I am hurting, both mentally and
physically, but does Simon care?
I thought you were jumping on me.
I thought, "What's he doing?"
For some of the places he's taken
me, he had that coming.
Perhaps this will knock some sense
into Henry.
Simon has already spotted something
he likes.
There you go.
Yeah, so you sit in there.
And what are you doing?
Pulling ale? So, yeah, you can't
resist a lever, can you?
You're on the right lines.
Oh, is it an alcohol thing?
It's an alcohol thing.
You put your bottle there, your
bottle of wine there, you do that,
it puts the cork in.
I think you've got two possible
markets with that bottle corker.
One would be, you know, you've got
this explosion in people doing home
brews and microbrewery and that
kind of stuff,
but just as easily it could just sit
in the corner of a room,
and it's just a really nice historic peace.
So, a really good market for that.
I'm very excited about that piece.
So, Simon snagged his first item,
but Henry's not far behind.
HENRY GRUNTS
Stay there, cloth.
What do you reckon, man?
Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling, for while.
That, mate?
Well, it is what it is. It's a lamp.
A big one, though, isn't it?
We could blast that, paint it a
beautiful colour, put some new glass in,
that is a simple resto.
Henry's chosen an ornamental lamp
from the early 20th century
which was reclaimed from a disused factory.
And with two items from two containers,
the boys want to see what's behind
door number three.
There's a lot of stuff here, mate.
Oh, dear. Where do you start, though?
When I opened the door it was
just a sea of junk.
You know, obviously, Dick had just
lobbed all the rubbish
that he'd found in various sheds
around the county.
But even in a sea of junk,
you may just find some buried treasure.
SIMON GRUNTS
No, that's no good.
SIMON LAUGHS
What's that? A lamp?
Do you think a lamp or a heater?
It might be a heater. Yeah, with a
reflector on, isn't there?
Paraffin in there. Yeah.
Spark it up. Yeah.
Off you go. Yeah.
Yes, Simon it's a large Tilley
radiator dating back to the 1950s,
but of course you already knew that.
I know what you're going to say,
though. You know what I'm going
to say.
Yeah, and I think you're right. I'm
going to say
you can have your big lamp, cos
I think I've got
a lovely little brass and copper lamp.
Hey, it's lantern wars.
When it comes to lanterns, it's all
a question of taste, isn't it?
Gauntlet, gauntlet. Gauntlet, down. Down.
When it comes to lantern wars, I
know I'm going to win.
That is going to be beautiful.
Well, there you go. I'm done. Two definites.
You're in trouble, mate.
So there I am, absolutely set, I've
got two beautiful items,
he's got one lantern which is quite nice.
Just because you're all smug that
you've got yourself a little lantern...
We are out of containers, my friend.
Mate, it's not over
till the Luton box van sings.
The what? I've seen a van over there.
Come to daddy.
What's it full of? Henry stuff.
Go on, son.
Motorbikes.
Oh, that's not bad. There you go.
OK, so what is it?
It's a little Bantam two-stroke.
Can I not bore you with that, then?
I won't bore you. You can bore me a
little bit.
That's a lovely little trials bike.
Originally BSA Bantam for the road
from the '50s, really cheap transport.
But people found out that they're
great little bikes to convert for
off-road competition use.
That, seeing as I'm desperate,
will clean up, and I'm sure we can
get it going.
Guy'd quite like that. I've now
got my second item.
You have. Well done.
Yeah, come on then, mate. Let's go
and see...
He'll probably say, "You can't have
that, mate. It was my son's," Or
something, you know whatI mean?
Come on, then. I'll take over. Yeah, yeah.
So, that's the search done.
Right, I'll start off.
On the end there, old paraffin
heater of some sort, isn't it?
Yeah, that's right. I think it
would be absolutely lovely.
This man has got a good eye. A
really good eye because, well,
you don't see that every day, do
you? No.
It's a bottle corker, isn't it?
French. Not going to do too much
to it, but just get it working again.
If it's OK, I'm going to take those
two items.
Yes, great, fine. Great stuff. Now,
look, as far as I'm concerned,
obviously, I couldn't leave without
a motorcycle. Do you know what I
mean?
So if it's OK with you, I'm going to
take that away,
get her going and hopefully make
some money for you.
No problem. Now, from the sublime to
the ridiculous, really, but I love it.
Actually it's going to turn this
into lantern wars, Dick, between me
and Simon.
Well, Dick, look, thank you so much.
No problem. I really appreciate it. Great.
Coming up...
Guy's a bright spark.
We're in with a chance.
Simon puts his foot down.
No, Gemma, it will not be bright pink.
And both boys come to the rescue.
SIREN WAILS
I love it! I want it!
Restorers and upcyclers
Simon O'Brien and Henry Cole
are creating dosh
from the discarded.
Gauntlet. Down. Down!
Hey, it's lantern wars!
And Henry's back home in Oxfordshire
to reveal his fabulous finds.
Henry's secret weapon in
the lantern wars is Guy Willison,
his best mate and chief of all
the clutter Henry finds.
I mean, take a look, will you?
Yes. So let's start with the garden
lamp, mate.
That's just the kind of thing that
you'd find anywhere in any shed.
The battle plan is to paint it
a colour
that will blow Simon's effort
out of the water.
Yeah, I was thinking a lovely red.
All right, so that's that, mate.
Next, BSA Bantam,
I think it's a 175. Yes.
I think we should just flay off
these mudguard stays
and the exhaust pipe and then
just give it a lick of paint.
Yeah. Clean it up, get it going.
Now, how much do you love
off-road riding?
I've never really done it.
That "never" will be
a thing of the past.
I hate to admit it, I think I might
need some tuition from you
and I don't think I've ever said
that before, ever!
Let's get on with it, then.
So the boys immediately get motoring
by removing the mudguard.
Doing so will give them
easier access
to the hard to reach areas
of the bike.
I've got a feeling this mudguard,
although the bolts are going to
come out easily,
might be a bit of a swine.
It's not going to come through.
Yeah, it is. It's not.
It is. That's wider than that.
No, it's fine. Oh, that'll go.
I am actually surprised.
Yeah, well, you need to pay
attention, son, cos I tell you what,
that was easy.
And with that, Guy is left to clean
the mudguard
and re-spray the exhaust.
I think that's OK.
I don't think it needs another coat.
We'll wait and let it dry
and then have another look.
With the paint drying, Henry and Guy
can attack the lantern.
First up, the dirty old glass
has to be removed.
Open the little door. I think this
one... That will just drop out.
That's an easy one, look.
Go on, mate. There we go. OK.
So we've got the glass out.
That's a result.
But getting rid of the old candle
wax takes a lot of heat.
I know you've been wanting to
do this.
Go on, do it. Go on, spark it up.
That's it.
I think this is a bit savage.
Yeah, go on, mate. Get involved!
Quick. Oh, she's lit!
Look at that, how lovely.
There you go, look.
Look at that, Guy.
I'm not so stupid, you know.
No, that's fantastic, mate.
Here, that's good. So that's the way
to get a candle out.
We're there, aren't we?
Mate, that's it.
Look at that. That's beautiful.
With just a blowtorch used,
the lantern's ready to be shipped to
the sandblasters for phase two
of Henry's battleplan.
Meanwhile in Liverpool, Simon's
items are confusing his assistant,
Gemma Longworth.
I've no idea what it is, Simon.
Gemma is Simon's upcycling queen,
and when it comes to re-purposing
the everyday, she's your woman.
But will she be impressed with
Simon's mystery item?
It's a bottle corker.
Is it? Yeah. Clean it up.
Good clean. Get it working.
Let's try and put a cork
in a bottle. OK.
No, Gemma.
It will not be bright pink.
OK.
Never mind, Gemma.
I'm sure you'll get to use
your pink paint one day.
On to Simon's next item.
This is my second item.
Simon's picked a paraffin radiator
made from brass and copper.
But it's lacking a little TLC.
It's a bit dirty, isn't it?
It is. It comes with the traditional
guano, yes, yes,
which might need a little bit of
cleaning off.
Simon's scheme is to polish it up
and change it into a lamp although
Gemma's not so sure.
The other alternative,
I was thinking,
is put a candle holder in it.
I think it might be worth a bit more
money if we could put a bulb in it,
though. OK.
We could get it as a lamp.
All right, well,
that needs cleaning up.
And I guess we also need,
the most important thing we need
now, Gemma...
Yeah. ..is we
need a bottle of wine to empty,
to try out our bottle corker.
I can get on to that, Simon. If you
could. Not a problem. Thank you.
Get a couple of glasses as well.
Yeah. OK.
No time for drowning any sorrows
as Gemma needs to polish
the brass and copper.
She uses good old-fashioned
soap and water and a buffer,
which are available from most
hardware stores.
Oh, it's shiny.
Gemma is cleaning up today as her
next task
is to tackle the bottle corker.
Starting on the metal,
she uses wire wool
to remove the rust
and expose the original ironwork.
I know we're not to add
pink and purple paint
and I think this is the time for it.
I'm just going to clean it back
and then we'll put a bit of
black polish on it.
After a light sanding,
she cleans around the mechanism and
this restoration is well under way.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's revved up
for a key day.
Right, today is D-Day
for our little Bantam.
Let's hope we get a spark, because
then we are halfway there.
And Guy is the man with a plan.
Attaching a new spark plug
outside the engine,
to test whether the Bantam will live
to fight another day.
Have you got a spark yet, or what?
I haven't tried yet.
I need your assistance.
OK, so, look, what we've got to do, right,
is try to get this little spark plug
here to spark, OK?
And if that sparks,
that means that the electrics,
what there are of them here,
actually work.
Ready? Try it.
Yes, yes. Really? Yes, definitely.
Yeah. No, you're joking.
I'm not. We're in with a chance.
Hey-hey!
We're in with a chance, troops.
That's fantastic.
Having added sparkle,
they need to add shine by using
a wire brush and a metal polish.
And if you compare that to that,
you know, that's a transformation
in itself.
Once we've got it going
and it's looking great,
we'll take you
for your first lesson.
Best of luck, son.
I hope I don't write it off.
Whilst Henry goes off to buy some
extra life insurance, across town,
professional car resprayer Darren
has hit problems with the
garden lantern.
After blasting, it's disintegrated
in certain areas,
so we've got lots of holes
showing through.
But that's the patina of it, so as
he says, we'll carry on and powder.
After spraying a coat of primer,
the red powder is added, then baked
to provide a glossy finish.
When the lights flicker on it, the
metallic comes up through the red.
It just looks fabulous.
Henry's restoration is looking
the business and in Liverpool,
Gemma's is turning out to be
a corker, too.
Now, I'm just filling all the little
holes where the worms have been.
Next, Gemma oils the mechanism,
treats the metal
with a black polish,
before painting the handle.
And then once the wax
is over the top of it,
it should all tie in nicely.
I'm going to give this
an antique pine look.
OK, just going to buff off the
excess wax and then it's all done.
Elsewhere, Simon's busy
with the brass lamp.
He's making a candle holder
to attach to the base.
Really gouge out the rest of
the middle there.
Get rid of the rough edges,
polish it up, job's a good'un.
And it's up to Gemma to make
Simon's contraption work.
Right, let's see what it looks like
with a candle in.
I don't think I'm impressed.
Hmm, it seems Gemma has other plans
up her sleeve and maybe taking Simon
back to the drawing board
on this one.
But for now, Simon's taking Henry to
his choice of location to help
dad-to-be Pete Marshall.
With a baby on the way, a bit of
money, that would be really helpful,
you know. It's an expensive time.
We are going to a place. Now,
it's a reclamation yard, right?
But it's got everything that you can
possibly think of.
You're going to love this. I just
don't like the word reclamation,
you know. No, it's fine. There'll
be stuff for you. Come on, come on.
Pete, how are you? How are we doing?
Good to see you. Very good indeed.
How are you doing, mate?
Hey, when we browse
and we've got something, Pete,
what would you spend the money on?
We're just about to have a baby.
Are you really? It's an expensive time.
It is a very expensive time.
We're going to need to make you
a few bob, mate.
We'd better get going. We'd better.
Cheers, mate. Brilliant.
Cheers, pal. See you in a bit.
All right. Excited! Do you think
we'll be invited to the shower?
So the pressure's on to salvage two
items each to provide Pete
with some bounty for his baby.
Now, these are nice up here.
What? Look.
These lockers. I've always wanted to
do something with lockers.
You could just blast those,
paint them a really funky colour.
Come on, mate, look.
The louvres. That gives a bit of
period vibe to it.
The red one, a little bit of rust
on the bottom.
The grey one, looks pretty mint
to me.
I'm going to take the grey one away.
We can make something beautiful
out of them.
Do you know, the intrinsic
difference between you and I
is demonstrated in
this ten-foot here.
Right? Why? Because you were drawn
to them immediately, weren't you?
Yeah. Lockers.
Yeah. And you actually walked across
things of beauty to get there.
Given the choice
between those lockers
and those beautiful elm beams...
Well, there is no choice.
This looks like a deconstructed barn
of some sort.
Yeah. This is going to be elm.
This is beautiful.
See that, the natural curve
they've given it there?
Yeah. Yeah. Now, that, to me,
feels like the curvature
of the back of a bench.
It seems Simon has grand plans
for this wood
by turning it into a bench.
Not complicated, just good, solid,
and make the most of that
lovely wood.
Are we off to a good start?
I think we could be.
Come on, mate. We're doing well,
I'm liking this "reclamation yard".
I'm telling you.
Knew you'd love it.
Half an hour in,
two items selected already,
the boys are smoking hot today.
Quick, call the fire brigade!
Hey, Si, look at this, man.
Wow. Hey, Pete.
Mate!
That's well cool,
where did that come from?
This was the stand-by fire engine
for Wandsworth paper mill.
The one thing that you're not
expecting to find
in a reclamation yard
is a fire engine.
Hey, happy days!
Do you want to go? Mate, come on.
Yeah!
Come on. Can we go in the
fire engine?
Yes, you can, Simon.
Can we go in the fire engine?
I'm driving.
Driving a fire engine?
Rock on, man!
Here we go, son.
Now we're cutting grass.
Hey, this is it. Quick.
Oh, Pete, this is brilliant, mate.
Most importantly,
guess what it's got!
SIREN WAILS
Have you got...? Oh, yes, please!
Nee-noo-nee-noo-nee-noo!
I love it! I want it.
Hey, man, I was a five-year-old
all over again.
Sorry, boys, playtime's over.
Quick, out!
It's time to get back to your
day job and find your final items.
Luckily, Simon's soon spotted
a barrowful of potential.
Oh, look, mate. You can't upcycle
a wheelbarrow.
What have you got there?
Not the wheelbarrow.
Telegraph poles. Yeah.
Yeah? They're for walking up
telegraph poles, aren't they?
Telegraph pole footstep things?
Huh?
So what,
we need to find a telegraph pole?
No! Look.
Look. Yeah?
You've got shelf brackets.
Oh, right, an even longer shelf.
You've got coat hooks.
You've got anything.
And there's a barrowful of them.
These, mate, are a definite, definite.
We're going to take the lot
and have a laugh.
I just had to have them.
Because they're just really cool
brackets and you never see them.
And what are they worth? Nothing.
But they're going to be.
Hey, good, man.
I like those a lot.
Shall we leave them there, just for
the mo? OK. Come on. I'm happy.
Simon has hooked his second item
and his work here is done.
Henry has some catching up to do.
Oh, that's nice. Little bit of
a trolley experience.
Oh, that is nice.
What do you reckon?
Yeah.
Is it complete?
Bit weird with that sack trolley.
I mean, it's old, that thing.
That's weird, innit? I tell you what
you could do with this, son.
Go on. Eh? You could take it easy.
Wrong way for carrying sacks,
right way for lying down.
Ahem!
What do you reckon?
Do you know what, that's not
your worst idea ever, is it?
Yeah, tell me I'm great.
But all in all
I'm thrilled with that find.
We're done, aren't we?
Let's go and find Pete.
And they're done.
Time to show Pete their final picks.
Pete, what a brilliant time
we've had, honestly.
I was on fire today.
We are very happy.
What do you think?
Different. We like to be
different, though, don't we, mate?
Nice bit of elm. If it's OK,
I'm taking those three pieces.
My second choice is...
A wheelbarrow?!
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The old BT stays.
Yeah. Do you know why
I'm taking them?
Because I've never seen them
anywhere else before.
Right. I am very happy.
And so am I, actually.
The lockers over there, Pete,
for me,
I just want to repurpose them
into what they are, basically,
but do them really nicely.
Let's check out the next item,
shall we?
I reckon that's going to be
a pukka sun lounger.
Just wait and see.
It's going to be great.
I'm liking the ideas. Listen, mate,
keep gathering the treasure.
Coming up... An unexpected find.
Don't think you should be looking at
that, mate.
Simon's got a big one.
Oh, my word.
Look at them.
They're massive!
And Dick finds out how much dough
they've made.
Feast your eyes.
I reckon you've done...
great things.
Generals of junk Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien are repurposing
rubbish into piles of pounds.
That's not your worst idea ever, is
it? Yeah, tell me I'm great.
The boys are back at their barracks
and Simon is showing his restoration
partner, Gemma, the wood.
Oh, my word! Look at them.
They're massive.
They are elm, which is at least 300
years old.
Well, to say that they're old,
they're in quite good condition,
aren't they?
This is just gorgeous wood.
Simon wants to carve out a profit
from building it into a bench,
but Gemma's not sure about Simon's
big idea.
A big bench?
Yeah. Who's going to want a bench
this big?
Someone with a big family!
THEY LAUGH
And a big garden! If Gemma isn't
convinced with the wooden beams,
what will she make of the foot pegs?
I don't even know what to say, Simon.
What are we supposed to do with
these? Aren't they great?
I've never seen anything like them before.
Apparently, we see them every day
but I've never noticed them.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking of uses
for them, Simon.
That's the challenge. Yeah.
Let's let our imagination go with
these, yeah?
Gemma's first out of the blocks with
an idea.
And she immediately dispatches some
of the foot pegs to a blacksmith to
be galvanised.
Meanwhile, Simon and handyman friend
Phil work up a sweat with a saw to
cut the beams down to bench size.
Phil, Phil, seeing as you're making
me do all the work,
can you just come and grab this end, please?
But there's a problem with a
300-year-old nail.
Ah, the joys of using second-hand
wood.
This is our last cut.
And then...
...we are good to go.
And look at that!
You know,
people see it and they think it's
got woodworm in and think,
"Oh, that wood's finished."
Once you cut through there like
that, beautiful,
clean elm, ready to go.
In Oxford, Henry and Guy are, erm,
contemplating the locker.
Don't think you should be looking at
that, mate.
Just forget about the naughty pictures.
Yes. OK? That is a nice louvred
locker, right?
A nice period one with patina, yes.
It could go a lovely colour.
A nice anthracite.
What the hell's that?
Oh, you know what, grey!
Well, say grey, then.
Then, inside, and I'm not opening
that door, no, right?
Get rid of the foliage.
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
And have a really, really event colour.
With some nickel plating for the knobs,
this restoration is sure to set
their pulses racing for the second
time today.
And now for something
completely different.
That was at some point, I think, a
sack trolley.
A very old one. An ancient one, yes.
Get yourself down here on a summer's
day.
Yeah, be careful.
You put your feet up like that.
Yeah. Right?
Yeah. But I think we need a metal
bar there.
Yes. Yeah. Definitely.
And the piece de resistance is a
couple of cushions.
Yeah. Yeah. And we've got ourselves
and upcycled sun lounger.
Now, you happy with that?
Yes. I know you're happy with that, definitely.
Yeah, all right. Well, let's get it
on, then.
So, Guy gets straight on with the
sack trolley, building new brackets,
sanding it down and strengthening it up.
All that's left is to do is some wax wizardry.
I'm using old pine wax to darken it
all down,
cos there's a few slightly different
colours where it's been repaired
over donkeys' years.
And hopefully, that'll equal it up a
bit and it won't be so noticeable.
With the sack trolley progressing
nicely and the lockers sent off for
powder coating, the Oxford boys are
well under way.
But in Liverpool,
Simon and handyman Phil are getting
to grips with the bench.
Don't forget the, er...
We've got the lines for it, haven't
we? Yeah.
This, mate, will be what everyone
wants to match as far as work goes.
This will be the benchmark.
Having cut the wood to specific sizes,
the boys fix it all together with
large coach screws.
Brilliant, there you go.
HE LAUGHS
So, hopefully, this should now just
marry, shouldn't it?
It's OK, Phil, I'll do this one.
HE GROANS
Right, Phil. Take a seat.
And I reckon...
That's a good job done, that, mate.
Great. Get the sander.
With the back attached,
the boys are sitting pretty, and
Gemma attempts to pretty up some of
the pegs that haven't gone to the
blacksmith's.
I'm going to try and add a little
bit of colour and see what they
look like.
This is just gloss spray paint that
I'm using.
I wanted, like, an industrial look,
so I went with gloss.
Whilst the pegs dry, Gemma takes a
delivery from the blacksmith.
Wow!
So, these are the foot pegs after
they've been galvanised.
They look brilliant!
Simon's going to love them.
They're really good.
They've come up well.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's lockers are
getting a new lease of life with a
startling combination of metallic
grey and orange.
Whilst Darren's crew paint, back at
base, Henry's inspecting Guy's work.
Mate, I've got to tell you, man,
you have done an unbelievable job on this.
I have found this very rewarding.
I was dreading it when you showed me this.
I thought, "This is wood."
You know what I'm like with wood.
I find it so tricky, but this has
come up beautifully.
Henry's so taken that it's
completely changed his original plan.
So, we've decided, haven't we, no
cushions, leave it lovely,
so the world can see this wood.
Yeah, you just need to do a bit of that.
Oh, yeah. Cheers, mate. I'll make
the tea, for a change.
You can do that. Go on, then. And
I'll polish this up and it's done.
Whilst Henry buffs up,
back in Liverpool,
Simon is checking up on the finished
finds from today's first location.
The bottle corker has been cleaned up,
painted and polished and just awaits
Simon's approval.
Hello, hello. What d'you think?
Tres bon!
Looks good, doesn't it? As they say,
in French vineyards!
And have we got all the bits
working?
It does. It works.
Ah, that's so cool!
Let's make some calls, cos I
reckon that a little,
one of the little gastro boozers,
something like that.
That's got to be a fantastic display
item, hasn't it?
Definitely. There you go.
Looking great.
Next up is Simon's lamp, and Gemma
still has her concerns.
I don't think I'm impressed.
So she's secretly got an electrician
to fix a bulb fitting instead.
But will Simon see the light?
Hi! Where's my candle?
Oh, yeah. Erm...
I've replaced it.
Well, I can see that. But look...
Yeah! Looks really, really cool.
Does look better. It do...
I wouldn't say better. It looks
really cool.
It does look good. Yes.
You had a light bulb moment,
didn't you?
I did, yeah. Couldn't help myself.
I'm glad we discuss things and
decide what things are going to be
and then
I go away and come back and...
Most of the time, I agree.
Just not on this occasion.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's about to
find out if the Bantam is a runner.
Right, here goes nothing.
Full revs.
ENGINE REVS
Yes!
How does it feel?
Oh, it's all right.
Is it? Yeah, yeah.
Can we go off...? It's good. Can we
go off-road on it?
Mate, I think you might be ready for
your first lesson.
Great. Hey, hey!
And the boys waste no time hitting
the open...
er, gravel path.
As Guy takes to motocross like a
duck to water.
Come on, then. What do you reckon?
I really, really enjoyed it.
In fact, I want another go.
You're not having another go, mate.
No?
No. You might crash it on the other go.
Possibly. We're selling it.
OK. Come on.
But all good things come to an end
as Henry's found a buyer.
All right, mate. All right. Yeah,
nice one.
Yeah, you'll have fun riding it.
I promise you, especially at that
price!
All right, all right. Cheers, bud.
Bye. Bye-bye.
But will Henry have sold Dick short?
With one item sold,
Guy takes delivery of Henry's other
money-maker,
the lantern. Guy furnishes the
lantern with brand-new glass and
Henry is on hand to provide the
vital spark.
This is just going to top it off.
A double-wick candle.
What do you think? Hang on.
Let's just spark it up. We'll just
have a little look, shall we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it.
And I reckon that's worth some
money, mate.
Yeah. Good job.
But will Henry's restoration be
worth a pretty profit?
It's time for the valuation of the
items they found at Henry's
location.
Come on in, mate.
How are you? How are we doing?
All right? Good to see you.
OK? Hello, Henry.
Well, look. Feast your eyes.
What do you reckon? Lovely.
That's the idea. Go and have a look, mate.
That's come out beautiful.
It has, hasn't it? Yeah.
And that's a corker.
I tell you what, I'm glad you done
something with that, Simon.
I was waiting to pass it on to someone.
THEY LAUGH
Yeah. You saw me coming, didn't you?
That's nice. That has come out nice.
Come and join us again, mate.
Yeah, come on over, Dick.
So, Dick, what do you reckon?
I reckon you've done great things.
Thank you. Obviously, the lamp
over there, unloved, rusting away.
Yeah. Glass broken. Yeah.
When I found that in an old sawmill,
I thought,
"Somebody will do something with
that."
And somebody did. And there you go.
Moving on, you know, French
vineyard, it's a lovely old thing.
Yeah. We haven't done much with it,
except we've got it in complete
working order again,
because it is a functional item.
Gave it a bit of cleaning up and I'm
really pleased with how it's turned out.
The timber's come up nice,
hasn't it?
But are they worth any money?
That's not up to us to decide.
It's up to our independent valuer.
Elisicia Moore runs a store
specialising in restored and
upcycled furniture.
She knows the true market price for
the boys' items.
Let's start with the bike, Elisicia,
shall we? Yeah. Come on, as it's
closest.
Yes, sounds good.
175 BSA Bantam. Looks lovely, shined
it up nice and pretty.
The Bantam trials bike was
refurbished for £100.
Is it registered and is it a real
trial bike
or is it a faux trial bike?
Well, firstly, it doesn't have
registration documents.
OK. You know, it's purely for
off-road,
you can't ride that on the road as
it is.
OK. So, unfortunately, probably
closer to £500 is a fair estimate,
easy-to-achieve price.
Luckily, that's exactly what Henry
sold it for,
delivering a £400 profit.
OK, lamp. Yeah.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
Pretty thing, isn't it?
It's just lovely.
Bright and cheery. You see them all
the time in garden centres in silver
but you never see them in red.
So the first part of lantern wars
delivers costs of £65 for sandblasting,
re-spraying and new glass.
I think you could really easily
expect to get about £130 for that.
And that's another £65 profit for Dick.
Moving on, a bottle corker.
Yes. It's pretty.
It's interesting. I think the best
way to achieve money with this is to
try to sell it into a shop as a
retail display.
It cost just £10 to refurbish the
old bottle corker.
£90 for the bottle corker.
£90 for that beautiful piece of
history in fully functional order?
No. Yes. Come on, Elisicia. I think
that is well worth £100.
Come on. Go into three figures.
I will meet you in the middle at 95.
How about that? Who is worried about
a fiver?
Lovely, thanks.
OK, I'll take that.
All in all, that makes a profit of
£85.
Be more generous, please, with that
beautiful one-off gorgeous brass lamp.
I know you love your motorbikes but
I think the lamp is the show stopper.
I think it's the winner of the lot.
Oh, well, I don't see it.
THEY LAUGH
The restoration cost £40 for an
electrician and a new bulb.
It's on trend. It's a great size.
I think a really fair estimate's
£130 for the lamp.
Wow! So the lamp has made £90 for Dick,
meaning Simon has won lantern wars.
So, Dick, look, in total, less our costs,
we're giving you the pricely sum of
£640.
Beautiful. Wow! Is that good?
That's all right, isn't it? That's
good. Brilliant. Oh, mate.
I can spend that. Pleasure.
On another bike.
Yeah! I can come over and...
Yeah.
Boys and their bikes.
Thank you very much.
Lovely. Thanks, good to see you.
That means Henry's choice of
location has given Dick a delightful
£640 to spend as he wishes.
I'm over the moon. And they've made
me some good money.
They know what they're doing and
it's brilliant.
Brilliant for us. We can keep
collecting the rubbish and they can
keep recycling it!
Coming up - Gemma
is happy with Simon's work.
This is really impressive.
Henry isn't helping Guy with his.
Come on, come on. Keep pushing.
You're going in the right way.
And they both face the valuation.
What do you reckon, mate? Lovely.
That's a nice touch.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
converting clutter into cash.
Hoo-hoo!
Henry's choice of location
made Dick £640.
I reckon you've done great things.
It's now up to Simon to pile on
the profit for his choice of barn.
So, Simon's team are finishing off
his converted barn beam bench.
So far, they've cut the wood to size
and screwed it together.
All that's left is for Simon to
sand off the rough surface,
and Gemma to add a little
Danish oil, and hey presto!
This is really impressive.
A few simple cuts from a bit of wood
lying around,
and now we've got
a lovely useful bench.
Onto the metal pegs.
With Gemma having resprayed some of
them and galvanised the rest,
it's time for Simon to get
a cut of the action,
cutting the wood to make the shelf.
That is gonna be brilliant.
I think, we'll put about -
it only needs a couple
but just for the effect -
I think we'll put about five,
possibly six, along it.
Oh, that's brilliant.
And then, as a secondary by-product
for nothing,
how about a series of coat hooks?
Gemma is enlisted to finish
the coat rack.
There we go, all done.
All finished.
Now, I didn't know what to make of
those foot pegs to start with,
but I'm actually quite impressed.
That looks really good.
But, with the all-important
valuation coming up,
will Simon's foot supports give him
the leg up that he needs?
In Oxford, Guy is struggling
with the freshly returned lockers.
I need a hand!
LAUGHTER
Come on! I can't see.
Come on, come on. Keep pushing.
You're going in the right way!
The lockers have had
a luminous lick of paint,
courtesy of Darren's sandblasting
and powder coating.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, get rid of this.
Mate, that is lovely.
What do you reckon?
That is absolutely beautiful.
What do you think?
I think it's lovely,
I can't wait to see the inside,
I haven't looked inside yet.
Guy adds two nickel-plated knobs
for around £60.
And these luscious lockers are
ready to rock.
You know what,
the great thing about this is,
is it's just going to look well
either in a house, or in a man cave.
Stand back, sir. What do you reckon?
Yeah, I love it.
With the sack trolley having been strengthened
by adding brass brackets
and a metal bar,
sanded, waxed and polished,
Henry reckons he's sitting pretty
for a money-spinning valuation.
With Pete's wife due to give birth
any minute,
he has sent his colleague, Scott,
to collect his winnings.
Thanks for coming. How are you,
mate? Good thank you, are you?
Well, take a look. Wow.
Feel free, have a nose around, mate.
That's, that's, that is impressive.
Take a seat, mate. Yeah, that is
a lovely bench.
You could get about 13 people
on that.
What you reckon, mate? Lovely.
Open the door. Open the door, son.
Oh. Cool. That's a nice touch.
I like it. It's amazing
what you can do with reclaim items.
Well, you know better than anyone.
You know what I mean?
Gives people an inspiration
of what they can do.
Hopefully
that's what we're all about.
So, you know, look,
you look at them,
they're telegraph pole
climbing pegs.
You know, I mean, what...
You know,
you literally had of boxes of them.
What are they worth? There were
just rusting out the back.
What are they worth?
But, you know what?
With a bit of imagination,
just an example of what you can do
with that kind of stuff.
It's very good. But, you know,
have we made you any money,
that's the question, isn't it?
We might love the stuff,
but, well, to find out that,
we're going to be joined by our
rather too independent valuer, Adam.
Come on, Adam, come and join us.
With two decades' experience,
auction house owner Adam Partridge
can accurately value anything.
Talk to me about
what would really, I think,
be valueless telegraph pole pegs.
I really like
what you've done, yeah.
What a great use of something
that was redundant!
Simon has polished up the pegs
for the bargain price of £40.
I'm thinking of pricing them
at about...
Well, let's say 150 quid, the lot.
So, Simon steps up with £110 profit.
Let's move on.
Yeah, let's do move on.
Yeah. Cos you know what?
I'd hoped you like it, we love it.
I like the bench as well.
The bench hardly broke the bank,
costing only £20 to construct.
It's a good chunky thing,
that'll live outdoors as well as
on a terrace or a conservatory.
I think there's a number of uses
for it,
and it's not going anywhere, is it?
No. Come on. Well, I'm thinking of
about £300 for that.
I might have to throw in
20 quid here.
Why? Because I've actually sold that.
Oh. Have you? Yeah.
For 280 quid.
Oh. So, there's a profit
to you guys -
I will throw in the 20 quid seeing
as I've gone and sold it -
therefore, £280.
Wow.
So, that's a pretty profit of £280.
Come on then. I like these as well.
Do you? I like them very much. Yeah.
Henry took the lockers and spent
£165 on a new paint job
and nickel-plated handles.
Really nice finish on them,
always a nice finish.
The orange interior
really brightens them up.
It's a nice shock
when you open them.
It's got a good lick to it. Yeah.
I think lots of people
would like to own them,
and I think quite a few of them
would be prepared
to pay 300 quid for them.
And someone has,
as Henry sold it for that figure
and has locked in a profit of £135.
Right, well, last but no means least
is my little trolley there.
Yeah. Well, I love the idea
of being trollied around
to the next sunny spot when you're
reclining on Lord Cole.
For £50, Henry's given
the sack trolley a lift.
Erm, I think it appeals
on a number of levels,
still as a trolley, really cool as
a portable garden seat,
and so, it has a multi-use.
And, my price on the trolley,
£250 for a movable
garden seat trolley.
Hey, look, mate,
I'm not going to argue
because I do think
that's a fair price.
Henry's rolled in a £200 profit
for Pete's little one.
We have made you,
from the bits hanging round
in the back of your place, £705.
Wow. Going to Pete. Wow.
But we also know, that most of it's
going towards the...
Baby. Yeah. Due any minute,
isn't it?
Any, any minute, yeah.
Hence him not being here.
But it's been an absolute pleasure
to see you, Scott. Thank you.
Send our regards. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Henry.
With Simon chucking in an extra
20 quid for underselling his bench,
a grand total of £725 is
heading to Pete.
The items that have been shown to me
today are absolutely fantastic
and Henry and Simon have done
a fantastic job too.
The money will definitely go
to good use for Pete and his baby.
Henry's choice of location raised
£640 for Dick.
But it was Simon's choice
of location,
Pete's reclamation yard that is
today's winner
with a grant total of £725.
I'll tell you
what was great, though,
was that, especially with the battle
of the lamps,
admittedly you won it...
I did, yeah.
...but we did produce
a couple of really nice items
from unloved goods, should we
call them. That is what we do.
