Dom and Mel are in Cramlington, just a few miles north of Newcastle, where they face a 'Cowboy Builders' record: a house with more problems than they have ever encountered. In 2010, Michelle and Dominic Cairns planned to start a family and an unforeseen inheritance gave them the chance to transform their home. The couple chose a builder and a few months into the job they discovered they were expecting their first baby. But the builder then walked off the site, leaving them with a list from the local council's building control department that contained 103 defects and recommendations. Mel has her work cut out tackling the problems and soon discovers another spanner in theworks. It transpires that the builder didn't block off the rainwater drain before pouring in the foundations, so the drains are now blocked with concrete. With all of her efforts diverted to sorting out this unexpected problem, Melinda has a fight on her hands if she is going to deliver the nursery, which would mean so much to the Cairns. Meanwhile, Dom is hot on the heels of the builder. He discovers that not only is he a fan of the show, but he has made some classic cowboy errors. When Dom find that he is in the process of starting up a new company, he knows that it is definitely time to act...
