3. Can you help us? We were hoping you would be able to help us to add a bedroom to our bungalow. My husband and i are both disabled and we need an extra room on our home so we can employ carers to help my husband over night. Our house has an odd layout so we are at a loss to work out how to add an extra room to our house without loosing the space we have. We are both in wheelchairs so keeping every inch of space is important. We have seen your show and love the way you make the most out of the space which is why we are asking for your help. Me let us know if you can help.

We dont have much time as they have sold their small house and need to know what could be done with the one we hope to buy. Any advice would be very welcome

8. George - two months ago my wife and I purchased a 1973 home in West London with lovely river views. We have lived in 14 houses in 38 years of marriage and have always managed to refurbish them empathetically and successfully. Our current house stumps us. Usually, we live in a house for a while before we do any work while we consider different ideas and let the house "talk to us". This house is saying nowt! We have a decent budget but lack inspiration - would George like to consider this challenge for his TV series?

9. Hi George - love your shows. Taking note of all your good ideas. However one thing puzzles me. There are never any applications for planning consents or building warrants for the work you do? Are things so different in England? I live in Scotland and I need both before I can proceed with the building of a garden room/conservatory extension - with bifold doors of course! Keep up the good work. Una

10. George-- we've just in the process of purchasing a vacant 3-4 bed, 60's-dated, South-East facing property with an integral garage. Our ideas include transforming the original garage space to become a through family/ kitchen area, bringing as much light to the rear of the property as possible--and opening directly out to a large garden space facing North/ West. So, we were delighted to view your channel 4 programme a week ago, where you'd brought a fantasic transformation to a property of similar layout/ light problems by converting the garage, bringing the Sutherly light into the rear kitchen and by making all the rooms visible from this 'heart ' of the property via clever use of glass (wood framed) doors. Brilliant--thanks for the tips ! regards, Heather Abbott

11. I was wondering if there was any new programs in which George Clarke from the home show, possibly needed any homes to consider? I could find out on the channel 4 web site?

12. I saw a lovely mirror in a hallway on one of the home show projects with Goerge Clarke. It was a mirror made up of lot's of smaller mirrored pieces that reflected the light really well. Please can you tell me wher the mirror can be purchased? Thank you
