Two English brothers with different, clashing personalities become live-in home renovators for a notoriously finicky couple with strong opinions.
The kickoff project for "Purvis and Purvis Master Builders" is the renovation of a rundown townhouse - a job that quickly spirals out of control. In order to finish the job, the brothers must first repair their own 'odd couple' relationship...and still come in under budget.
Bickering brothers Joe and Trevor move to London when they get a job renovating a home.
Joe and Trevor must hide the newly hired help from the homeowners, even as Joe gets threatening phone calls from Ray.
Everything seems to be going well with the house until the trio faces the challenge of living with homeowners Paul and Laura.
Joe and Trevor try to put their squabbles aside to visit their ailing grandfather in the hospital.
Joe and Trevor return to London to finish their work, but Paul hinders the brothers' work schedule and jeopardizes their business.
Trevor decides to confront Joe about his dark mood caused by the collapse of the ceiling.
Laura notices that Trevor is avoiding her. Paul announces he is leaving on assignment in Spain.
Paul returns, almost catching Joe and Laura in an intimate moment. He announces his new bonus will enable the brothers to finish their work.
Newly based in Brighton, Trevor and Joe take on a schoolhouse conversion as well as rival builder, Nick Costello, who feels undercut by the brothers and is out for revenge. Trevor has ill-advisedly fallen in love with Nick's little sister, and Joe has started an affair with their site architect.
Trevor and Joe Purvis are working on a Brighton site for local developer Nick Costello, where Trevor catches the eye of Costello's younger sister Clare.
Nick Costello works to stir up bad feelings against his new competition. Joe proves his worth to the Marriotts.
Pippa and Geoff feel that they are suffering from the Purvis' incompetence. Trevor's first date with Clare is interrupted when Nick plants evidence in the Purvis' transit van.
Clare confronts Nick about his attempts to frame Trevor. Viv's ex-husband arrives in Brighton to compete with Joe for her affections.
Trevor is released from jail and begins to obsess over his future with Clare while Purvis and Purvis struggle with asbestos and overdue loans.
Nick and Richard battle the Purvis brothers. Viv and Joe mend their relationship.
Trevor feels left out when Joe and Viv discuss a joint business. Clare and Trevor get back together.
Joe's Auntie Maureen discovers her husband in bed with his mistress.
