Home Rescue: The Big Fix is a heart-warming mix of human stories and home makeover – a whirlwind of decluttering, teamwork and positivity – changing people’s lives for the better by redesigning their homes, replacing chaos with order and rediscovering the things that really matter. The Home Rescue crew is one big family where everyone plays their part and – for designer Dee, builder Pete and their team of fitters, painters, chippies and clutterbusters – every second counts because they have just five days to complete each makeover. That’s right: five days from first sight to finishing touches! This year, the Home Rescue team brings the Big Fix to a variety of homes in Dublin, Kildare, and Wexford.
Episode 3
After years of loss and change, music teacher Carrie Haskins is ready to reclaim the Kildare home she grew up in – now shared with her three young children. The Home Rescue team steps in to honour the past while creating a fresh start, transforming clutter and emotional legacy into a warm, functional space filled with music, comfort, and new memories. Builder Pete and the build crew get to work in the middle of a vicious Kildare cold snap. Designer Dee decides to break through a solid wall under the stairs to create storage and reopen a disused second fireplace, bringing warmth back into the home. Meanwhile, over at the local GAA club, decluttering expert Aidan tackles a mountain of musical paraphernalia, instruments and vintage electronica. For Carrie and her three kids, the next five days could be life-changing as Dee, Pete and the crew race to transform a house stranded in the past, into a home that honours it – helping one young family to find comfort and move on with their lives.
Narrated by Irish comedian Neil Delamere.
