Dion Dublin shocked by builder's rapid transformation of 'sorry-looking' Mansfield house on Homes Under the Hammer
A builder left Dion Dublin astonished at his incredible work rate when he turned a Mansfield house from an empty shell into a stunning family home in just a few weeks on today's episode of Homes Under the Hammer.
When Dion first met Sofiane, he asked the mechanical and gas engineer how he felt about taking on a project where so much needed doing. Sofiane replied: “Basically, I'm a builder, and I like doing things from scratch.” “On your own?” Dion asked, astonished. “On my own,” Sofiane confirmed. “But working like 16-17 hour shifts a day.”
Sofiane and Shazina had created an open plan lounge connecting to a “swish, modern” kitchen. There was also a new shower room downstairs, while upstairs there was a new bathroom and the bedrooms were now “crisp and clean”. “One of the challenges we had is the distance this project is from our home,” Sofiane said. “We had to travel so often. So for that reason, sometimes, we did sacrifice at the beginning when we started demolishing, when we couldn't stay here. So we were just trying to work long hours and get the first fix done.The pair had also hired an architect to draw up plans for two three-bedroom semi-detached houses on the land beside the house.
