About
Set at Tinkers Barn, a unique salvage yard in the Suffolk countryside, the series follows three generations of the Warnes family as they rescue, restore and repurpose treasures that others leave behind.
Alongside boss Andy is his wife and business partner, Hayley, who focuses on the design and detail that helps transform forgotten finds into desirable pieces. Their son Jonah has been learning the reclaimers trade his whole life, while master craftsman Pops (Andy's dad) – who brings decades of experience and expertise - will be stopping by later in the series. Together, this special family dynamic is a force to be reckoned with as they work to preserve objects from Britain's past while building the future of the family business.
Each episode sees the Warnes on their mission to save everything they can find, leaving no stone unturned. With the opportunity to salvage items from old buildings and demolition sites, they try to find a use for anything discarded. From the bricks and mortar of an abandoned property to tired home and garden furnishings, the team scour the likes of castles, schools and hospitals to breathe new life into what was left behind.
