The Restoration Man

S03:E15 - Welsh School Revisit

Ian and Jayne Hall Edwards bought a large derelict Victorian school in the valleys of West Wales with the hope of combining a family home and a new eco-building training business under one roof. Already badly hit by the recession, the finance they had counted on falls through and they are forced to battle through harsh winters in a caravan, struggling to get the school – and their family business - back on its feet, earning as they go. George now returns one year on to see how they have not only virtually rebuilt the Victorian school from scratch, but have transformed it into a modern family home with energy efficiency to beat even the latest new-builds. Their eco training centre is also fitted out for their new business venture launch – ready to be a source of inspiration to eco friendly builders for years to come.
