How do you make money for nothing?

0:00:060:00:08

The answer could be hiding in the 20 million tonnes of household waste

0:00:110:00:15

we throw out every year.

0:00:150:00:17

Sorry to bother you. Before you throw that away,

0:00:170:00:19

-is there any chance I could have a quick chat to you about it?

-Yeah, sure.

0:00:190:00:22

That's why entrepreneur Sarah Moore

0:00:220:00:24

wants to get her hands on things before they hit the skip.

0:00:240:00:28

I am a passionate buyer, maker and user of old stuff

0:00:290:00:34

and I've turned that passion into a moneymaking business.

0:00:340:00:37

I turn old stuff into new stuff and sell it for a profit.

0:00:370:00:41

Sarah's ready to sift through as many boots and bin bags

0:00:410:00:44

as she needs to...

0:00:440:00:46

Look at that absolute box of joy,

0:00:460:00:48

these are just fantastic.

0:00:480:00:50

..in her search for tip treasure.

0:00:500:00:52

We've got to be able to make something out of that, haven't we?

0:00:530:00:56

And with some of the country's elite designers and makers...

0:00:570:01:00

-I've got a little something for you.

-Yeah, I thought you might.

0:01:000:01:03

Aw, this is a hard one.

0:01:030:01:05

..she can transform her finds into desirable...

0:01:050:01:09

Oh, my word!

0:01:090:01:10

..beautiful...

0:01:100:01:12

Oosh!

0:01:120:01:13

..valuable...

0:01:130:01:14

Cha-ching!

0:01:140:01:16

..and hopefully saleable items.

0:01:160:01:18

Well, I love this, so I would really like to have it.

0:01:180:01:22

If Sarah is successful, then she can hand the profits back

0:01:220:01:26

to the very people who had no idea

0:01:260:01:29

there was cash to be made from their trash.

0:01:290:01:31

That is incredible, isn't it?

0:01:310:01:34

For most people, a trip to the tip is about as exciting

0:01:480:01:52

as rearranging your sock drawer.

0:01:520:01:54

But most people aren't Sarah Moore.

0:01:540:01:58

It's loads of fun here.

0:01:580:01:59

There's stuff coming through the gates all the time

0:01:590:02:01

and I'm hoping in the trunk of one of these cars is some real tip treasure.

0:02:010:02:05

Sarah's been given special permission

0:02:050:02:08

from the Bredbury Recycling Centre, near Manchester,

0:02:080:02:10

to search for three items before they get skipped.

0:02:100:02:13

We're looking for things that we might be able to re-use and...

0:02:130:02:16

-Recycle.

-Yeah, recycle.

0:02:160:02:17

But she's not after just any old rubbish.

0:02:170:02:20

Just wondering what that was.

0:02:200:02:21

Old vacuum attachment of some shape or form, so...

0:02:210:02:23

Oh, my word, look at it!

0:02:230:02:25

Sarah needs to find things with the potential to turn a profit.

0:02:250:02:29

And it doesn't take her long to spot her first item,

0:02:300:02:34

poking out of Justine's rather glamorous-looking convertible.

0:02:340:02:37

-Hiya!

-Hi, there.

0:02:390:02:41

What are you throwing out today?

0:02:410:02:42

It's a cast-iron soil pipe, we're having a new bathroom fitted.

0:02:420:02:46

Oh, really? I just love the fact that it's got this really old paint on it.

0:02:460:02:50

-Yeah.

-And...

0:02:500:02:51

I did speak to my decorator about that

0:02:510:02:53

-and he said that to rub all that down...

-Oh, yeah?

0:02:530:02:56

..and repaint it when he paints the outside of the house

0:02:560:02:59

is not cost-effective cos it would be about a day's labour

0:02:590:03:02

-just to rub the whole pipe down.

-Really?

0:03:020:03:03

And it had to be changed anyway cos of the new bathroom.

0:03:030:03:06

I know it sounds really strange

0:03:060:03:07

that somebody might want to take away a soil pipe,

0:03:070:03:09

but we are looking for old stuff,

0:03:090:03:11

-you know, particularly stuff that has a bit of integrity and...

-Yeah.

0:03:110:03:14

-..like, we could remake into stuff.

-Right.

0:03:140:03:16

I'm not sure if anybody will take on a soil pipe,

0:03:160:03:18

but would you mind if we kept it, just to see...?

0:03:180:03:20

-Not at all.

-Really?

0:03:200:03:22

Doing me a favour by taking it.

0:03:220:03:24

You might want to wear some gloves for this one, Sarah!

0:03:240:03:29

A soil or sewage pipe is usually attached to the side of a building

0:03:290:03:33

to remove waste from the upstairs toilets.

0:03:330:03:37

And there's just one more section to it.

0:03:380:03:40

Keep them coming, Justine!

0:03:400:03:41

After all, you can never have too much old soil pipe.

0:03:410:03:45

It looks like it hasn't been used for a while. Has it not been used?

0:03:450:03:47

-Oh, it's been used.

-Really? I don't want to think about that, do I?!

0:03:470:03:50

-Yeah.

-Thank you so much. If we just pop it here, that would be great.

0:03:500:03:53

By the looks of things, this pipe has seen quite a bit of action.

0:03:530:03:57

But exactly how old is it?

0:03:570:04:00

-It's a very old terraced house, 1926...

-OK.

0:04:000:04:03

..it was built, but it's the original cast-iron pipe.

0:04:030:04:06

Yeah, well, do you know something? It's going to a better place.

0:04:060:04:09

-Oh, that's good.

-Thank you so much.

0:04:090:04:11

You are very welcome. Bye! Bye!

0:04:110:04:13

Sarah seems happy, but what's Justine thinking?

0:04:150:04:18

I'm just glad to get... I'm just glad to get rid of it!

0:04:180:04:20

I don't know what she'll do with it.

0:04:200:04:23

Justine does have some concerns, though.

0:04:230:04:26

I'd have put my make-up on if I'd have known

0:04:260:04:28

I was being on the television.

0:04:280:04:30

Not to worry, Justine, while you pop off to the powder room,

0:04:300:04:33

Sarah can take a closer look at her first item.

0:04:330:04:37

It's a really old cast... Uh, probably Victorian downpipe.

0:04:400:04:44

It's really battered and I'm not quite sure why I've saved it,

0:04:440:04:48

but I do know somebody who might have some good ideas

0:04:480:04:51

to turn this old thing into something valuable.

0:04:510:04:54

Bex Simon is a renowned artist blacksmith that can bang,

0:05:000:05:04

grind, weld and smelt metal into bespoke beauties.

0:05:040:05:10

Bex is normally commissioned for unique pieces of artwork

0:05:100:05:14

and has no idea what's coming her way.

0:05:140:05:17

Working with found objects is quite different from what

0:05:170:05:20

we normally do, cos we work with our clients and we produce designs

0:05:200:05:24

and we work with them, so this is kind of, like, really freeing up

0:05:240:05:27

the mind and seeing, you know, what object we've got and how we can

0:05:270:05:32

make it work into something really cool, modern and...yeah, desirable.

0:05:320:05:37

So it's going to be fun.

0:05:370:05:39

Let's just hope Bex is still smiling when she sees Sarah's pipe dream.

0:05:400:05:45

And that it doesn't just all end up causing a stink.

0:05:450:05:49

One item down, two more to go, and as Sarah's search continues,

0:05:530:05:56

the dump is definitely getting busier.

0:05:560:06:00

Oh, that's classy, isn't it? I love it.

0:06:030:06:05

That is a special little pony, isn't it?

0:06:050:06:08

I don't think so, Sarah.

0:06:080:06:09

There's only one ride left for that old nag.

0:06:090:06:11

Every time somebody pulls up,

0:06:150:06:16

who knows what's going to be in the back of that van? It could be...

0:06:160:06:19

It could be it.

0:06:190:06:20

You might be right, Sarah, but Richard and Tom look pretty keen

0:06:200:06:22

to dump that old blanket box, so you'd better be quick.

0:06:220:06:27

-Hiya.

-Hiya.

0:06:270:06:28

I'm really sorry to bother you.

0:06:280:06:29

Um, I'm up here today trying to find stuff that we might be able

0:06:290:06:32

to make into other things.

0:06:320:06:33

-Would it be all right just to have a look at what you're dropping off and maybe chat to you?

-Yeah.

0:06:330:06:37

-So, whose is it, what's it doing here, how did it get here?

-It's...

0:06:370:06:40

Well, it's a bedding box, it was my mum's, she's moving house.

0:06:400:06:43

We've tried to offer it to a charity shop, but...

0:06:430:06:46

-But they didn't want it either, so...

-Really?

0:06:460:06:48

Yeah, it's a last resort, tip.

0:06:480:06:49

I think it's really quite cool, actually. Would you mind if I...

0:06:490:06:53

took it away and tried to make something out of it?

0:06:530:06:55

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Yeah?

-By all means.

0:06:550:06:57

-Thank you ever so much for your help.

-Yeah, no worries.

0:06:580:07:00

-I really like that. That's made my day, so thank you so much.

-Good.

0:07:000:07:03

-I'll...get in touch.

-All right, cheers.

0:07:030:07:05

Thank you, thank you.

0:07:050:07:07

I love it, and I think...

0:07:090:07:11

I think we're going to make something really valuable out of it too.

0:07:110:07:14

What about Richard and Tom?

0:07:140:07:15

Do they think there could be any money in it?

0:07:150:07:17

Give it a bit of sanding, make it really stand out, make it...

0:07:170:07:20

-Yeah, I mean, it's...

-Something...

0:07:200:07:22

It's still in good nick, isn't it? So, it's...

0:07:220:07:24

It'd seem a shame to get rid of it, but like I say,

0:07:240:07:27

we had no other option, so...

0:07:270:07:28

-Good luck to her.

-Good luck, definitely.

0:07:280:07:30

-Yeah.

-I look forward to seeing what the final product looks like.

0:07:300:07:33

I really like this old blanket box

0:07:330:07:35

and I think it's got heaps of potential.

0:07:350:07:37

I'm thinking cocktail cabinet, I'd like legs on it,

0:07:370:07:40

I'd like fantastic doors.

0:07:400:07:41

And I'd like a price tag to match

0:07:410:07:43

because I think that this little beauty is going to turn

0:07:430:07:46

a real profit, and that means I can surprise those lovely lads

0:07:460:07:49

who dropped it off with a whole load of cash.

0:07:490:07:52

So, Richard and Tom could be in for a real windfall,

0:07:520:07:56

especially as Sarah has got just the man to tackle the blanket box.

0:07:560:08:00

Rupert Blanchard is one of the country's leading

0:08:080:08:11

bespoke furniture-makers.

0:08:110:08:13

He searches the country for undervalued materials

0:08:130:08:16

to rework into contemporary designs.

0:08:160:08:19

Basically, other people's waste, I find some kind of beauty in it

0:08:190:08:23

and spend a lot of time

0:08:230:08:25

and give rubbish a lot of attention to try and bring it back into use.

0:08:250:08:30

Rupert's been working with reclaimed materials for almost a decade

0:08:300:08:33

and sells his high-end designs all over the world.

0:08:330:08:37

I like giving things a second, a third, a fourth chance.

0:08:370:08:41

Bringing something back into use is incredibly satisfying.

0:08:410:08:44

Well, let's hope Rupert's satisfied

0:08:440:08:46

when he sees the salvaged blanket box.

0:08:460:08:49

Sarah has already found two items at the tip.

0:08:550:08:58

Now she needs to search for her third and final item,

0:08:580:09:01

which she will work on herself.

0:09:010:09:04

But time is running out and the crushers have already

0:09:050:09:08

swallowed most of the day's offerings.

0:09:080:09:10

I just find it difficult to watch that

0:09:110:09:13

because they're just crushing great stuff, so I think I'm going to

0:09:130:09:16

have to go and get back to work now because...that's just too scary!

0:09:160:09:20

Lots of things, just sometimes it's just not quite right.

0:09:220:09:26

What's he for?

0:09:260:09:27

-BOTH:

-It's a toilet roll holder.

-Really?

0:09:270:09:29

-Yeah.

-I've never seen one like that before.

0:09:290:09:31

SARAH LAUGHS

0:09:310:09:33

Hang on, Sarah, Vicky's just pulled up with a trailer-load

0:09:330:09:37

of potential treasures.

0:09:370:09:39

Hiya, sorry to bother you, I was just wondering before you

0:09:390:09:42

chuck everything out, if it'd be OK to have a look at what you are

0:09:420:09:44

-throwing away and just see if there is anything we might recycle?

-Yeah.

0:09:440:09:47

-What... Are you clearing something out, or...

-Yeah, my grandad's house.

0:09:470:09:50

-Oh, no!

-So, a lot of my grandma's old belongings, sadly.

0:09:500:09:54

-OK.

-But a bit of everything.

0:09:540:09:57

-So, some old wardrobes and cupboards and then, like, sewing machine.

-OK.

0:09:570:10:01

And would it be really bad to just rootle around and have a look?

0:10:010:10:03

-No, help yourself.

-Really, are you sure?

-Yeah.

0:10:030:10:05

There are some sweet little bits in here.

0:10:050:10:08

Really lovely and I don't... I feel a bit funny rifling through them.

0:10:100:10:13

-They are really sweet things.

-I know.

0:10:160:10:18

But sometimes, you know what it's like, you get to a stage

0:10:180:10:20

where it doesn't fit in your house,

0:10:200:10:22

it doesn't go with your look, or whatever.

0:10:220:10:24

If there's a few bits in here... That certainly has an appeal.

0:10:250:10:28

I really appreciate you letting me have a look,

0:10:280:10:31

-especially as it is your family's stuff.

-Fine. Mm-hm.

0:10:310:10:33

If it's OK, I'd love to see if there's something there and come back to you...

0:10:330:10:36

-That's fine.

-Brilliant. If you're happy, I'm going to take this off and...

-You go.

0:10:360:10:39

-Thank you so much for sharing it.

-No problem.

0:10:390:10:41

Sarah's found her final item.

0:10:410:10:43

But exactly why is Vicky letting go of her grandma's stuff?

0:10:430:10:47

I'm helping my grandad clear out my grandma's old room.

0:10:470:10:50

He's finally ready to let go of a few things of my grandma's.

0:10:500:10:54

Cos he's getting on a bit, we needed to clean out the rooms,

0:10:540:10:56

so he's got more space to move around.

0:10:560:10:58

It would be nice if it could be reused for someone else

0:10:580:11:00

who would get pleasure out of it,

0:11:000:11:02

cos I know my grandma certainly did with a lot of these things.

0:11:020:11:05

So, it would be nice if it could go elsewhere rather than in the bin.

0:11:050:11:08

So, this is a really eclectic little collection of stuff.

0:11:080:11:12

Part of the stuff she dropped off were these plates, this china.

0:11:120:11:15

Now, I haven't had a proper chance to look at them yet,

0:11:150:11:17

and I'm not sure if there's going to be any value in this box.

0:11:170:11:20

But I couldn't let her throw it away without having a proper look.

0:11:200:11:22

So you never know, there might be some value in here yet.

0:11:220:11:25

Well, let's hope you're right, Sarah,

0:11:250:11:27

because it's now time to try and turn your refuse picks into pounds.

0:11:270:11:32

Working on the soil pipe will be artist blacksmith Bex.

0:11:340:11:38

While Rupert will be unleashing his creative carpentry

0:11:380:11:42

on the blanket box.

0:11:420:11:44

And Sarah's hoping to find some hidden treasures

0:11:440:11:47

in Vicky's grandma's box of china.

0:11:470:11:50

We have had a fantastic day here.

0:11:500:11:53

I've got some amazing pieces

0:11:530:11:54

and just the right people lined up to make them into something fantastic.

0:11:540:11:58

And to make some money along the way.

0:11:580:12:00

Sarah's first stop is Surrey, where tucked away down a country lane

0:12:060:12:11

is blacksmith Bex and her husband Dave's workshop.

0:12:110:12:14

So, I'm waiting for Sarah to come! I don't know what she's bringing.

0:12:170:12:21

So... Yeah, let's hope it's something really interesting!

0:12:210:12:25

Oh, don't worry, Bex. It's interesting all right.

0:12:250:12:28

Hi, guys!

0:12:280:12:30

-Hello!

-Look what I've brought you.

0:12:300:12:32

-Oh, no! Oh, no!

-It's a downpipe.

0:12:320:12:35

-I've got, like, a whole house-worth of downpipe.

-Oh, wow!

0:12:350:12:38

So, probably...

0:12:380:12:40

-What have we got? ..about 15 feet of it altogether.

-Gosh, wow.

0:12:400:12:44

Cor, it's got beautiful, pitted...

0:12:440:12:46

-Yeah, it's got some good, good finish on it.

-It's lovely.

0:12:460:12:49

It is lovely, but it is a downpipe.

0:12:490:12:51

BEX LAUGHS

0:12:510:12:53

-There you go. Do you want to hear the plan?

-Uh, go on. Go on, then.

0:12:530:12:57

This is really exciting.

0:12:570:12:59

OK, so, bear with me, cos it takes a bit of...imagination.

0:12:590:13:02

-So, I was thinking that if we could cut them in half...

-Yeah.

0:13:020:13:05

And if we could have lots of half little tubes, you know,

0:13:050:13:09

-sort of like guttering sort of style...

-Yeah, yeah.

0:13:090:13:11

And have, you know, like, tube, tube, tube, tube,

0:13:110:13:13

-we could make ourselves a lounger.

-Oh, right!

0:13:130:13:16

And I can get some little velvet cushions made to make it up

0:13:160:13:20

-into a round again.

-Oh, wow!

0:13:200:13:22

And then have it, like, you know, like a luxury,

0:13:220:13:25

amazing chair that you have in the corner of the sitting room.

0:13:250:13:28

Oh, my gosh, that sounds really nice. Really nice.

0:13:280:13:30

With Bex up for the challenge, it's time to hit the drawing board.

0:13:300:13:35

What you want to see is, you want to see the half, don't you, like this?

0:13:350:13:39

Yeah, exactly.

0:13:390:13:40

And then you've got your, the cushion, going on the top,

0:13:400:13:43

-like, that's what you want to see.

-Yeah.

0:13:430:13:45

And it could be sort of like that with an extra one on the headrest

0:13:450:13:48

-and more here...

-Oh, right, I get you.

0:13:480:13:50

So, if we are talking about, you know, a frame...

0:13:500:13:53

Getting all of these pieces into position and the legs, how long...

0:13:530:13:57

You know, is that... What kind of money are we talking about for that?

0:13:570:14:00

Um...

0:14:000:14:01

I reckon for both of us working on it,

0:14:010:14:05

about 600 quid to do that?

0:14:050:14:07

So, 600 quid on the frame, it's probably going to cost me a couple

0:14:070:14:11

of hundred quid to get the cushions done, so an 800-quid piece...

0:14:110:14:15

Another challenge on our hands!

0:14:150:14:18

I'll leave you to it, shall I? Don't say I never spoil you!

0:14:180:14:22

As Sarah heads off,

0:14:230:14:24

there's one all-important question on Bex's mind.

0:14:240:14:28

When do you think the last time some...

0:14:280:14:31

Probably a few days ago.

0:14:310:14:35

-No, seriously!

-I expect so.

0:14:350:14:37

This has been ripped off a house.

0:14:370:14:39

I'm going to wash my hands. Have we got some detergent?

0:14:420:14:45

-Have you given them a sniff?

-Have you?!

0:14:450:14:48

Smell your hands.

0:14:480:14:50

It might be dirty work, but it's not cheap.

0:14:500:14:53

With a budget of £600 for the frame,

0:14:530:14:55

plus an extra £200 for the cushions,

0:14:550:14:59

let's hope Sarah isn't flushing her money down the drain.

0:14:590:15:04

Sarah's next stop is sunny Margate on the coast of Kent.

0:15:060:15:10

Once a mecca for British tourists in the 1950s,

0:15:100:15:14

it suffered a major decline over the years

0:15:140:15:16

due to cheap package deals sending the holidaymakers overseas.

0:15:160:15:20

But today, Margate is a place where vintage is an advantage,

0:15:240:15:28

and reclamation is the order of the day.

0:15:280:15:31

And one man leading the way in all things repurposed

0:15:320:15:37

is furniture redesigner Rupert Blanchard.

0:15:370:15:39

I'm really looking forward to Sarah turning up today

0:15:410:15:44

and see what she has managed to discover.

0:15:440:15:47

Hopefully it's something fun,

0:15:470:15:49

but I'm really happy to play with anything that she has come up with.

0:15:490:15:54

Let's hope Rupert is still in a playful mood

0:15:560:16:00

after he takes a closer look at what Sarah has brought him.

0:16:000:16:03

So, blanket box.

0:16:030:16:05

-What do you think?

-Blanket box.

0:16:050:16:07

Well...

0:16:070:16:09

I didn't expect this.

0:16:090:16:11

It's rather unusual proportions.

0:16:110:16:14

-Quite a high thing, and it's all veneer plywood?

-Yes.

0:16:150:16:19

I don't think it has a huge amount of integrity to it.

0:16:190:16:22

It is not really solid,

0:16:220:16:24

and it was probably quite cheap when it was made.

0:16:240:16:26

-It's light, isn't it? You can tell.

-Yes. But that is good.

0:16:260:16:30

Big but light.

0:16:300:16:32

So, what are we going to do with that?

0:16:320:16:34

OK, so I've had a few thoughts about this.

0:16:340:16:37

Part of it, I was wondering if it is something that goes up on legs

0:16:370:16:41

and made into some kind of cocktail cabinet, or perhaps turning it round

0:16:410:16:45

and using the back as the front,

0:16:450:16:46

or even turning it on its side

0:16:460:16:49

and making it into something like a desk, or using it that way.

0:16:490:16:53

You're saying some sort of desk-y, cabinet-y...

0:16:530:16:57

..thing.

0:16:590:17:00

Rupert does not seem convinced.

0:17:000:17:03

The question is, can he see the potential that Sarah saw

0:17:050:17:10

when she salvaged it?

0:17:100:17:12

I don't know.

0:17:120:17:13

Is it something that you think is workable or not,

0:17:130:17:16

because it's OK to say you're not sure that this is...

0:17:160:17:19

-No, I can definitely work with it.

-Great.

0:17:190:17:22

I'm just coming up with the thing that's right for it.

0:17:220:17:25

Is this something then that I leave with you for a few days,

0:17:250:17:28

give you a call and we can see if you have some thoughts about it?

0:17:280:17:31

I think so.

0:17:310:17:32

I think it will keep me warm through the winter on the fire.

0:17:320:17:37

No! It will end up being something great.

0:17:390:17:42

So, Sarah is going to leave Rupert to it

0:17:430:17:45

in the hope that a good idea does come his way.

0:17:450:17:48

I can't say it's my favourite of all the pieces

0:17:480:17:52

I've ever worked with, but that's my challenge, really,

0:17:520:17:56

to make it my favourite piece.

0:17:560:17:58

Every piece I work on, if I'm not happy to have this in my own home,

0:17:580:18:02

I don't want to work on it.

0:18:020:18:04

Let's hope Rupert has a moment of inspiration soon.

0:18:060:18:09

Because, without a plan, Sarah has no idea what the budget might be.

0:18:090:18:14

But at this stage,

0:18:140:18:15

she's just hoping the blanket box doesn't go up in smoke.

0:18:150:18:19

While Sarah waits to hear back from Rupert, she has headed to her farm

0:18:250:18:30

to see if there are any hidden gems in Vicky's grandma's box of china.

0:18:300:18:34

I absolutely love a little box like this

0:18:360:18:38

because you just don't know what's in it.

0:18:380:18:40

I had a very quick look, and this caught my eye.

0:18:400:18:43

This sweet little jug and I couldn't stand the thought of somebody

0:18:430:18:46

chucking that away because, honestly, that is 1940, something like that.

0:18:460:18:50

It's just too sweet to get chucked and broken.

0:18:500:18:53

So, I don't know what else is in here.

0:18:530:18:55

I'm looking at the plates and things and thinking,

0:18:550:18:58

there's probably not a lot of value, but it's worth checking just in case.

0:18:580:19:02

At least it's vintage.

0:19:030:19:05

Giftware. Stoke-on-Trent.

0:19:090:19:10

I think they're sentimental value, rather than actually cash value.

0:19:100:19:14

Sweet little cottage garden - maybe in a vintage shop

0:19:140:19:17

you might get a couple of pounds for that, but not brilliant condition.

0:19:170:19:21

Foreign ware. Made in Japan. Oh dear. The saucer that went with that...

0:19:230:19:27

There's a few breakages in here.

0:19:270:19:29

They'll be from Woolworths, or something like that.

0:19:290:19:32

No value there, I don't think. Well, we know how much that was.

0:19:320:19:36

A little nest of bowls for dipping or something. 99p from Superdeal.

0:19:360:19:40

Probably not worth 99p now.

0:19:400:19:42

Now that's more exciting.

0:19:440:19:45

That's Clarice Cliff, and her stuff is really collectable.

0:19:450:19:49

Especially the early stuff.

0:19:490:19:51

I'd say, looking at that shape,

0:19:510:19:52

which has got those real Art Deco lines to it,

0:19:520:19:55

that that is an early piece.

0:19:550:19:57

You might be right, which means this bowl could be from the 1920s,

0:19:580:20:02

when Clarice Cliff first became a famous ceramics artist.

0:20:020:20:07

It's got a couple of nibbles around the rim.

0:20:070:20:10

But, I still think the shape of that, that has got real appeal.

0:20:100:20:15

That is a find, as far as I'm concerned,

0:20:150:20:17

in that box, this is a find.

0:20:170:20:19

Really worth saving from going in the tip. Right, what else?

0:20:190:20:25

That's its ladle.

0:20:270:20:29

Now, that's cool. That's another great piece.

0:20:290:20:32

I'm really pleased with that. That is 25 quid, probably.

0:20:320:20:35

So that, I think, is a little gem.

0:20:350:20:37

I'm hoping that will bring some proper money in for Vicky.

0:20:370:20:41

That's it, Sarah.

0:20:410:20:43

Nothing like a bit of elbow grease to ease the wheels of commerce.

0:20:430:20:47

Because Clarice Cliff is so collectable and valuable,

0:20:470:20:50

you do get people trying to make forgeries and fakes,

0:20:500:20:53

but you can see just by this wear here, this is a genuine piece

0:20:530:20:57

it's been around for ages and it's well used.

0:20:570:21:00

This is definitely the real deal.

0:21:000:21:02

Of course, it's not all about brawn.

0:21:020:21:05

Research is just as important.

0:21:050:21:07

You can see, this book has got all sorts of things in it,

0:21:070:21:10

but there are loads of pages just for the Clarice Cliff stuff

0:21:100:21:13

because it's so collectable, people love it, which is really good.

0:21:130:21:17

It makes that really quite exciting.

0:21:170:21:19

OK, so that is a Bobbins pattern Stamford bowl.

0:21:190:21:24

So, that is the same shape as this one.

0:21:240:21:28

Having discovered exactly what it is,

0:21:290:21:31

Sarah now wants to place the bowl and ladle in an online auction.

0:21:310:21:36

Serious Clarice Cliff collectors

0:21:360:21:38

love her bizarre ware designs and bold colours.

0:21:380:21:42

So, Sarah is taking great care

0:21:420:21:44

to capture plenty of good photos for the auction.

0:21:440:21:47

Let's just hope her attention to detail lures in some big bidders.

0:21:490:21:53

Meanwhile, at their West Surrey workshop,

0:21:560:21:58

Bex and Dave are trying to psych themselves up to start work.

0:21:580:22:03

So, we are working with the pipe, making it into a chaise longue.

0:22:030:22:09

It's pretty disgusting, really, isn't it? You are touching it.

0:22:120:22:16

Yes, well, someone is going to have to touch it.

0:22:160:22:20

Hence wearing this.

0:22:200:22:22

Yes, well they are just downpipes from someone's house,

0:22:220:22:26

so they're basically poo pipes from someone's toilet, really.

0:22:260:22:31

Definitely not eating my sandwiches after working on this!

0:22:320:22:36

While Bex gets on with the design of the frame,

0:22:380:22:41

Dave has drawn the short straw.

0:22:410:22:43

He's working on the pipe.

0:22:440:22:46

How are you feeling about that, Dave?

0:22:470:22:49

Yes, try not to crack them,

0:22:490:22:51

and just cut them as neatly as we can, as quickly as we can.

0:22:510:22:55

That's it, Dave.

0:22:550:22:56

Stay focused on the task and try not to think about what might be inside.

0:22:560:23:01

First, he needs to mark, then cut the pieces of pipe in two.

0:23:020:23:08

He will then send the dimensions of the new half pipes to Sarah

0:23:080:23:11

so she can make the cushions.

0:23:110:23:13

Meanwhile, Bex bends the sections of the frame into shape.

0:23:150:23:19

True to his word, Dave is making short work of cutting the pipe.

0:23:210:23:25

And Bex's frame is coming along too.

0:23:270:23:30

Now, she just needs to test the final shape.

0:23:300:23:34

So professional.

0:23:340:23:35

Why does my head come to on that?

0:23:400:23:43

SHE GIGGLES

0:23:430:23:46

There? Am I in?

0:23:460:23:48

-Right.

-Yeah, you're at the top.

0:23:500:23:52

-Then this, do we need to cut that down?

-No.

-Is that at a good...

0:23:520:23:57

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK, it's not very comfortable.

0:23:590:24:04

This is no laughing matter.

0:24:070:24:09

And neither is the state of the insides of the pipes.

0:24:090:24:14

Luckily, Dave's on hand again to clean them up once and for all.

0:24:160:24:21

Now, as soon as the pipes are dry, they can be sealed with varnish

0:24:210:24:25

and attached to Bex's frame.

0:24:250:24:26

Back in Margate, Rupert has finally come up with a plan

0:24:330:24:36

for that bothersome blanket box.

0:24:360:24:39

So, another piece of fun.

0:24:410:24:44

Very badly made, very bad condition,

0:24:440:24:47

sadly unloved piece of furniture.

0:24:470:24:50

We came up with the idea to make this a large sideboard,

0:24:500:24:54

literally by blowing this one apart,

0:24:540:24:59

almost like a Christmas cracker

0:24:590:25:02

that you pull apart in the middle,

0:25:020:25:04

and either end of the Christmas cracker remains our chest,

0:25:040:25:09

and in the middle is a brand-new section.

0:25:090:25:12

Hopefully we will make a big, impressive piece of furniture today.

0:25:120:25:16

First, Rupert has to decide where,

0:25:160:25:19

and how, he wants to cut the box in half.

0:25:190:25:21

I want to cut through two angles in this piece,

0:25:210:25:24

not straight in the middle.

0:25:240:25:26

I really want to give it a slightly dynamic edge.

0:25:260:25:30

So, I'm going to completely freestyle this

0:25:310:25:34

and it's going to be quite, quite random.

0:25:340:25:36

I'm going to match up the line on top,

0:25:390:25:41

so my next scoreline will be straight across the lid.

0:25:410:25:45

Again, I'm not doing a straight line, I'm going at an angle.

0:25:450:25:48

It's going to be a very angular piece.

0:25:480:25:50

It's time for Rupert to make his first nervous cut on the lid.

0:25:520:25:56

So, this is the scary bit.

0:25:580:25:59

This is the bit where it might collapse.

0:26:010:26:03

With the lid safely cut, it's time to tackle the rest of the box.

0:26:080:26:13

It always seems a little bit sad

0:26:200:26:22

when I've cut straight through a piece of furniture.

0:26:220:26:25

Old vintage furniture, for me it takes on some kind of human quality.

0:26:250:26:30

I would never intentionally put a healthy piece down,

0:26:300:26:34

but I'm doing it for the right reasons.

0:26:340:26:37

This is going to be a brand-new piece,

0:26:370:26:39

and it is going to be cherished somewhere.

0:26:390:26:41

Last cut.

0:26:410:26:43

One more chance for it to fall apart.

0:26:430:26:45

This one's going to be the worst.

0:26:450:26:47

There you go. So...

0:26:580:26:59

A lot of weird angles. But, slowly this cabinet is getting bigger now.

0:27:010:27:07

With the old piece successfully cut in half,

0:27:070:27:10

Rupert can now build the new middle section.

0:27:100:27:13

He's making a simple shelving unit,

0:27:160:27:19

and in keeping with his ethical ethos,

0:27:190:27:22

Rupert is using recycled wood.

0:27:220:27:24

With all the pieces secured together,

0:27:240:27:26

what finish is Rupert thinking?

0:27:260:27:28

I think the middle section at the moment will probably be

0:27:280:27:32

one bold primary colour.

0:27:320:27:34

Did you have any specific colour in mind?

0:27:340:27:37

Let's hope Sarah likes custard.

0:27:390:27:41

Otherwise this piece could still be finding its way onto the bonfire.

0:27:410:27:46

Good luck, Rupert.

0:27:470:27:49

Meanwhile, Sarah has placed the Clarice Cliff ladle and bowl

0:27:520:27:56

in an online auction.

0:27:560:27:58

She's now nervously waiting to see if they fetch a good price.

0:28:000:28:04

But the auction is almost over.

0:28:060:28:08

At the moment, they're stuck at £41.

0:28:080:28:11

I hope I've got more bids out there for these things.

0:28:110:28:14

At the moment, there are six people bidding on it.

0:28:140:28:18

Three minutes.

0:28:180:28:19

It's making me really nervous.

0:28:210:28:23

Especially with you lot watching.

0:28:230:28:25

Two minutes ten seconds.

0:28:260:28:29

I just want a little bit more for it.

0:28:290:28:32

One minute 25 seconds to go,

0:28:340:28:37

and it's still only at 41 quid.

0:28:370:28:39

That's really disappointing.

0:28:390:28:41

I definitely think it's worth more than that.

0:28:410:28:43

Probably people doing their gardening or something.

0:28:430:28:46

Five, four, three,

0:28:460:28:48

two, one, damn.

0:28:480:28:50

Oh, it's gone up. Somebody's bid right at the last minute.

0:28:510:28:54

OK, so the bowl and ladle have sold for £50. I'm pleased with that.

0:28:540:28:59

I'll take £50, and to be able to hand that money over to someone

0:28:590:29:02

who was going to throw the bowl and ladle away, that's money for nothing.

0:29:020:29:06

When Sarah first met Vicky at the tip, she was performing a sad task.

0:29:090:29:14

-Are you clearing something out?

-Yes, my grandad's house.

0:29:140:29:17

So, a lot of my grandma's old belongings.

0:29:170:29:19

Horrified by the thought of seeing all of Vicky's grandma's stuff

0:29:190:29:24

slung in a skip, Sarah decided to take a chance

0:29:240:29:27

on a box of unknown china.

0:29:270:29:29

It'd be nice if it could be reused for someone else

0:29:290:29:31

who'd get pleasure out of it - I know my grandma certainly did

0:29:310:29:34

with a lot of these things.

0:29:340:29:36

Sarah's gamble paid off

0:29:360:29:37

when she discovered the Clarice Cliff bowl and ladle.

0:29:370:29:40

Now, that's more exciting.

0:29:400:29:41

That's Clarice Cliff and her stuff is really collectable.

0:29:410:29:45

That's a find.

0:29:450:29:46

As far as I'm concerned, in that box, this is a find.

0:29:460:29:49

Although Sarah was disappointed with the final sale price,

0:29:490:29:53

hopefully Vicky will still appreciate the effort

0:29:530:29:57

and, of course, the little extra spending money.

0:29:570:30:00

Sarah is in Bramhall

0:30:010:30:03

to hand over the profit she made on the Clarice Cliff bowl.

0:30:030:30:07

-Hi!

-Hi, this is my sister.

-I'm Sarah, hello.

-And this is my grandad, Ken.

0:30:080:30:13

Hi there. Come on out, I've got a little something to show you.

0:30:130:30:18

I wondered if you had remembered.

0:30:180:30:20

In the box of china, there was a bowl that looked like that?

0:30:200:30:25

-Oh, yes.

-Yes, yes.

0:30:250:30:27

When I saw the stamp on the bowl,

0:30:270:30:29

I turned it over and it said Clarice Cliff,

0:30:290:30:32

I got quite excited about what you might have popped in your box.

0:30:320:30:36

So, I did a bit of research and a bowl like this,

0:30:360:30:39

because of its very strong Art Deco lines, is actually quite collectable.

0:30:390:30:44

I popped it online to see what sort of interest I could get, and it

0:30:440:30:47

turns out that a collector saw it and wanted it, and paid £50 for it.

0:30:470:30:52

-That's brilliant.

-Yes, so that £50 actually comes back to you.

0:30:520:30:56

-So, who would like £50?

-Grandad?

-Thanks very much.

0:30:560:31:00

Any ideas what you might do with £50?

0:31:000:31:03

I was thinking I would have to get a new set of Crown Green bowls.

0:31:030:31:07

That's a lovely idea.

0:31:070:31:09

From one bowl to another bowl, that's very appropriate.

0:31:090:31:13

With a straight online sale and no material costs,

0:31:130:31:17

Vicky and Sonia's grandad gets to pocket the full £50 profit

0:31:170:31:22

from the sale of the bowl.

0:31:220:31:24

I actually found that quite emotional because it's such a lovely story,

0:31:240:31:27

that grandma's old bowl is going to buy Ken a whole set of new bowls.

0:31:270:31:31

In Surrey, the final rivet is going into the frame

0:31:380:31:41

of the new lounge chair.

0:31:410:31:43

Now, Bex and Dave can do their finishing touches.

0:31:470:31:51

Dave is stripping back the outside of the pipe

0:31:520:31:55

to reveal the different layers of paint.

0:31:550:31:58

While Bex is welding the final fix to the frame.

0:31:590:32:04

I think Sarah's just around the corner,

0:32:040:32:06

so we're just putting the last one in. It's looking really nice.

0:32:060:32:10

When Bex first saw the humble soil pipe,

0:32:100:32:13

it had only just been torn off the side of a building.

0:32:130:32:17

But now, by marrying the old pipe with a new steel frame,

0:32:170:32:21

she's utterly transformed it into a luxurious lounger.

0:32:210:32:25

The elegant lines, riveted finishes, and rustic pipe

0:32:250:32:30

all combine to form a chair that's just bursting with individual style.

0:32:300:32:34

Well, this is a really exciting moment

0:32:370:32:40

because it's not often that you pick up a lounger made out of a poo pipe.

0:32:400:32:43

I can't wait to see what Bex and Dave have managed to do

0:32:430:32:46

with those old pipes, and I'm also a bit nervous

0:32:460:32:49

because I've got to show them the cushions I've made for it.

0:32:490:32:52

Hello, hello!

0:32:520:32:54

That is amazing! Its shape is lovely.

0:32:540:32:57

I really like that organic...

0:32:570:32:59

It looks like a caterpillar track, doesn't it?

0:32:590:33:02

-It's got that beautiful swoop to it.

-Yes.

0:33:020:33:05

Is it... Is it sanitised, is it clean?

0:33:050:33:09

Yes, it's all clean, washed and lacquered and everything.

0:33:090:33:14

It doesn't smell. It doesn't smell at all.

0:33:150:33:17

That's lovely, all the different paint, the layers of paint.

0:33:170:33:20

That is amazing.

0:33:200:33:22

The contrast between this metal, and then your new metal,

0:33:220:33:25

is really beautiful. Each one is really bouncing off the other.

0:33:250:33:30

This is great detail, really clever.

0:33:300:33:32

So nice to give it that luxury look.

0:33:320:33:35

-Yes.

-It's really beautiful. Is it comfortable, have you sat in it?

0:33:350:33:40

-Have you tried it?

-It's not bad.

0:33:400:33:41

It does need its cushions though, definitely.

0:33:410:33:44

I feel really nervous now!

0:33:440:33:47

Before Sarah completes the new lounger with her cushions,

0:33:490:33:53

she's decided to take it out into the garden.

0:33:530:33:56

Sarah's putting the cushions on the chaise longue,

0:33:590:34:03

so we're eagerly waiting to go and have a look.

0:34:030:34:07

So, what do you think?

0:34:070:34:09

I think she'll have done a really good job.

0:34:110:34:14

Yeah. I hope so, because I'm rubbish liar.

0:34:140:34:17

I'll just go...

0:34:170:34:18

..and then cry.

0:34:210:34:22

Do you want to have a look?

0:34:240:34:25

I like the way you have to come through a curtain.

0:34:250:34:29

Oh, wow!

0:34:290:34:31

Oh, all the colours are the same as the back.

0:34:310:34:35

-Wow!

-Is that a good "Oh, wow"?

-Yes, I like it.

0:34:380:34:42

-Yes.

-Yes, that's nice.

0:34:420:34:44

With the cushions meeting with Bex and Dave's approval,

0:34:450:34:49

there's only one thing left to check.

0:34:490:34:52

It's lovely.

0:34:520:34:53

It's really cool, it's really relaxing.

0:34:530:34:57

Thank goodness for that!

0:34:570:34:59

When Justine pulled up at the tip in her fancy-looking convertible,

0:35:000:35:04

-no-one could have guessed what she was planning to dump.

-Hi there.

0:35:040:35:07

-What are you throwing out today?

-It's a cast-iron soil pipe.

0:35:070:35:11

But if Sarah was surprised, Justine was shocked.

0:35:110:35:15

I'd have put my make up on if I'd known I'd be on the television!

0:35:150:35:18

Undeterred, Justine helped Sarah unload her grim cargo.

0:35:180:35:22

It looks like it hasn't been used for a while.

0:35:220:35:25

-Oh, it's been used.

-Really?

0:35:250:35:26

I don't want to think about that, do I?

0:35:260:35:29

I'm just glad to get rid of it. I don't know what she will do with it.

0:35:290:35:34

Well, Justine, the humble soil pipe has been glamorously transformed

0:35:350:35:41

into a luxury lounge chair,

0:35:410:35:43

which Sarah had absolutely no trouble in selling

0:35:430:35:47

to the trendy London furniture store The Old Cinema.

0:35:470:35:51

-Hi, Sarah.

-Hi, Justine, lovely to see you again.

-And you.

0:36:010:36:05

-Much nicer surroundings than last time.

-Yes!

0:36:050:36:08

Now, since we have had your pipe,

0:36:080:36:09

have you thought about what we might have done with it?

0:36:090:36:12

To be honest,

0:36:120:36:13

I didn't really think you'd be able to do anything with it.

0:36:130:36:17

After a bit of debating about what we should do, we turned it into...

0:36:170:36:20

-Are you ready for this?

-Go on, I've no idea.

0:36:200:36:23

-This is a really good transformation.

-Oh, wow!

0:36:230:36:26

Your downpipe is now a lounger.

0:36:260:36:29

Gosh.

0:36:290:36:31

It is now a high-end interiors piece of furniture.

0:36:310:36:34

-I could have had that in my house then!

-Yeah, you could!

0:36:340:36:38

I'm absolutely stunned.

0:36:380:36:39

We had to spend £800,

0:36:390:36:41

-but I'm really pleased to say that it did sell for a profit.

-Right.

0:36:410:36:45

-We sold it for £1,200.

-Oh, my gosh!

0:36:450:36:48

So that means I've got 400 quid's worth of cash to give to you

0:36:480:36:52

-for your poo pipe.

-Oh, my gosh!

0:36:520:36:55

Thank you very much.

0:36:550:36:57

It's an absolute pleasure.

0:36:570:36:59

Wow, I didn't expect anything!

0:36:590:37:01

Work and materials on the downpipe lounger cost £800.

0:37:020:37:07

It sold for a whopping £1,200,

0:37:070:37:10

meaning Justine gets the £400 profit.

0:37:100:37:15

With the money I will put it towards taking my mum on holiday

0:37:150:37:19

in September for her 80th birthday.

0:37:190:37:21

So, spending a lot of time and money

0:37:230:37:25

renovating an old downpipe could have been money down the drain,

0:37:250:37:28

but I'm really pleased to say it was money for Justine.

0:37:280:37:31

So, with two items successfully sold,

0:37:350:37:38

can Sarah make it three out of three?

0:37:380:37:42

It's time for her to see the final item in Margate.

0:37:420:37:46

I am a little bit worried.

0:37:460:37:48

I left Rupert with a really old-fashioned looking blanket box,

0:37:480:37:51

and a quite tall order, to turn it into something amazing.

0:37:510:37:56

So, fingers crossed he's managed to pull it out of the bag.

0:37:560:37:59

When Sarah last saw it, the blanket box was old and flimsy,

0:37:590:38:04

and just moments away from being turned into firewood. But now...

0:38:040:38:08

Rupert has blown the dull old box apart and joined it all back

0:38:090:38:13

together again with a vibrant and contemporary middle section.

0:38:130:38:18

The end result is a bold and substantial 21st-century sideboard.

0:38:180:38:24

But will Sarah like it?

0:38:260:38:28

How are you doing?

0:38:290:38:31

Another item ready for you.

0:38:320:38:34

I think it's... I think it's genuinely absolutely smashing.

0:38:360:38:41

-How on earth have you done that?

-It's a bit nuts, this one.

0:38:410:38:45

I haven't done much that's unrecognisable

0:38:450:38:47

-to the original piece.

-Apart from slash into it!

0:38:470:38:51

I have made what was a piece of furniture that didn't have

0:38:510:38:55

much of a useful function any more in the home

0:38:550:38:58

into something that hopefully does now, into a very big sideboard,

0:38:580:39:02

by literally pulling it apart.

0:39:020:39:04

It's stunning. Can I have a closer look?

0:39:040:39:07

You can, yes. Obviously, I have used a new section in here.

0:39:070:39:11

This is made from OSB, or sterling board,

0:39:110:39:14

which is actually the waste chippings around a tree

0:39:140:39:18

when they've taken the main lengths of timber out of a trunk,

0:39:180:39:21

so it's a sustainable product.

0:39:210:39:25

I've restored the original piece. Other than cutting it in half,

0:39:250:39:28

I have actually restored it by repolishing it and refinishing it.

0:39:280:39:33

You might actually like to lift those up and find that there is...

0:39:330:39:38

-Oh, my word!

-The original function of the cabinet is still there,

0:39:380:39:42

-so the piece still exists in its original form.

-That is genius.

0:39:420:39:47

You can tidy the living room at a moment's notice

0:39:470:39:50

when the kids have been playing.

0:39:500:39:52

And, either end, it does the same thing.

0:39:520:39:55

I think it's the work of a genius.

0:39:550:39:57

The fact you've got that storage in there as well,

0:39:570:40:00

I wasn't expecting that when I saw it. And this fantastic colour.

0:40:000:40:05

Anybody else, Rupert, they'd have just cut it in half.

0:40:050:40:09

They wouldn't have put those angles in it. I think it is...

0:40:090:40:13

inspiring stuff you've created here.

0:40:130:40:15

It was such a light, insignificant piece that I dropped off to you.

0:40:150:40:19

I didn't think anybody would be able to make anything like this,

0:40:190:40:22

and this is stunning.

0:40:220:40:24

It certainly is, Sarah.

0:40:240:40:26

Let's just hope you can give it a stunning price tag to match.

0:40:260:40:30

Back at the dump, brothers Richard and Tom

0:40:330:40:36

were at pains to bin their old blanket box.

0:40:360:40:39

We tried to offer it to a charity shop

0:40:390:40:42

but they didn't want it either.

0:40:420:40:44

-Really?

-So, last resort, the tip.

0:40:440:40:46

Would you mind if I took it away and tried to make something out of it?

0:40:460:40:50

Yes, absolutely. By all means.

0:40:500:40:52

It seems a shame to get rid of it, but we had no other option.

0:40:530:40:56

Who would have thought somebody would actually want it!

0:40:560:41:01

Little could the boys have imagined that the charity shop reject

0:41:010:41:05

would be transformed into a contemporary sideboard.

0:41:050:41:08

This is great.

0:41:100:41:11

And, when Sarah showed it to Martin, one of the country's leading

0:41:110:41:14

retro furniture dealers, he snapped it up on the spot.

0:41:140:41:18

This isn't just recycling something, it is taking something and making it

0:41:180:41:23

better and fun and artistic, and it is really creative stuff.

0:41:230:41:27

So, now it is time for Sarah to reveal to Richard

0:41:270:41:30

the fate of his old blanket box.

0:41:300:41:32

And she might just have another surprise in her back pocket.

0:41:340:41:39

-Hiya!

-Oh, hi.

-Nice to see you again.

-Yes, nice to see you.

0:41:410:41:45

-How are you?

-Yes, really well. Remember your blanket box?

-Yes.

0:41:450:41:48

It turned out to be really good to use to do something else with,

0:41:480:41:52

so I thought I'd show you what we did with it.

0:41:520:41:54

-What do you reckon?

-I was not expecting that.

0:41:540:41:57

That's definitely original and yes, quite unique.

0:41:570:42:00

-We've actually managed to sell it.

-Wow!

0:42:000:42:02

-It made £100 profit.

-Really?

0:42:020:42:04

-And that is for you.

-No way! OK, unbelievable.

0:42:040:42:08

Any ideas what you might do with 100 quid?

0:42:080:42:11

It's a shame my brother isn't here

0:42:110:42:12

because the pair of us took it to the tip.

0:42:120:42:14

It's his 21st coming up,

0:42:140:42:16

-so possibly I might treat him on his birthday.

-Fantastic.

0:42:160:42:20

I think that would be a great use of the money.

0:42:200:42:23

It is nice to receive something for nothing, so yes, it's lovely.

0:42:230:42:26

-I hope you get some benefit from it as well.

-I'm sure I will.

0:42:260:42:29

-Really nice to see you.

-And you.

-OK, bye-bye.

-Thank you.

0:42:290:42:32

Transforming the blanket box into a stylish sideboard cost £400.

0:42:320:42:38

It sold for £500,

0:42:380:42:40

meaning the £100 profit is Richard's

0:42:400:42:44

to be as generous to his brother as he likes.

0:42:440:42:47

Today, all three saved items have made a profit,

0:42:480:42:51

from the Clarice Cliff bowl being snapped up by a keen collector,

0:42:510:42:56

to the old soil pipe, repurposed to a lounger with poise.

0:42:560:43:00

All the way to a blanket box,

0:43:000:43:02

transformed into a terrific sideboard.

0:43:020:43:05

That's brilliant.

0:43:070:43:09

That's three things saved from being lost forever,

0:43:090:43:12

and three people walking away with money for nothing.
