The Reclaimers is an entertaining and informative observational documentary series following the dealers and buyers of architectural salvage, the fastest growing area of the antiques business – a £1bn a year trade in Britain alone.
Each episode features interwoven stories, as extraordinary artefacts and materials are rescued against the clock from condemned buildings, restored in a dealer’s workshop and finally relocated in a customer’s house.
The Reclaimers is packed with history and practical information. It’s a brand new take on antiques and property – in an entertaining docsoap format.
"A move on from boring makeover shows, The Reclaimers is the ultimate in prosumer telly... Like eating a ready meal while watching Nigella it makes you believe you could do the same before shelving the idea somewhere between watching fantastically skilled homeboy-restorer Sean at work and the credits" The Guardian
