Construction Solutions.
I'm a chippy, by trade.
And I'm a spark, but we'll have a go at most things, won't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we've got a big reputation in the area, haven't we? Yeah, yeah.
Think that says a lot.
Yeah.
Right, if you took a crowbar to that, that'd come off, and that's a concern for us.
We want to take DeanLee into the 20th century and get amongst all those designer ponces, play them at their own game, cos we can undercut them, can't we? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Gok Wan, nice one, mate.
Nah, it's great on the site, with all the lads, isn't it? Cos there's loads of banter, isn't there? Yeah.
The money's good.
They pay you in cash.
It's handy, cos they don't ask too many questions, cos, I don't know about the rest, but my bail conditions say I'm not really allowed to work round here, so it's quite handy they're understanding about that.
I just move shit about, all day.
That's all I do.
Wakey-wakey, shithouse.
There's two sides to Dean.
Well, there's two sides to everyone, isn't there? There's your private and your public, and I feel really privileged I get to see the more private side, the gentler side of Dean.
We live together, work together, play together.
Remember when I used to get scared in copses? Remember? Ha! I used to run off and leave you.
I know.
Yeah, if you was naughty at school, your punishment was looking after Dean.
Yeah, looking after me.
Cos I was such a sod at school, I used to spend the best part of my time with you, didn't I? He did, he did.
They put us in a special room, didn't they? Do you remember? Yeah, really dark and kind of warm.
- That was the start of our Lee and Dean time, really, wasn't it? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Aww, look, that was a hornbeam.
Look at that open fissure texture Bark rubbing, brass rubbing.
We like mooching around car-boot sales and finding old bits and bobs.
A residential weekend at a farrier's, that was a good laugh.
Right.
Steady, steady, steady.
Do you want to? If I pull it a bit tighter, that might help.
We call it Lee and Dean time, don't we? That's right, yeah.
Yeah, we tried putting our names together, yeah, but if you put them together it's just Dean.
What are you talking about? It ain't.
How are you getting on with your walls? They're, er They're fine, they're smooth.
Smooth andsmooth and hard.
That's how you like a good wall.

They're very thorough.
Very competent.
Yeah, there's a crack, erm a crack upstairs.
Is it leaking at all? Is it damp or? Yeah, well, the weather has made it a little bit damp and I think it's getting bigger, so it does need, sort of sort of looking at.
Be, sort of, like, dealt with.
Yeah, cos I don't want it to get I don't want it to sort of, you know, spread down the wall.
I've got some industrial filler in the van.

He's always been a proper sort of ladies' man.
He's well naughty, and that.
He keeps a little black book, you know what I mean? It just says, like, in it who he's done and how he's done her.
So, boys, you know last week, right? Listen, you know when I went down Busby's? All right? Fucking night out.
I sort of met someone there.

Gave me a little kiss on the cheek.
I did.
Shall I show how I done it? Well, I'll show you.
I can't exactly, but it's fucking, right All right, babes? It was, it was that gentle, and I was like, "Hello! And that ain't like me.
"That was a bit different.
" Normally I'm just fucking in, like that, you know.
Aw, stop it.
Conger eel.
I've had that since, haven't I? Lee says you work with, like, dead kids and that.
Is that like? She looks after the dead kids.
Well, ones that are alive, before they die.
Not quite I live with them, the last couple of months of their lives.
Some of them have fucking massive heads and all things wrong with them.
Yeah, they've all got There's quite a lot of tumours and stuff.
He makes me feel happy.
I look at him and think, "Have I won a competition?" I go to bed, I'm thinking about her.
I wake up in the morning, I'm thinking about her.
I've even properly cut down on that.
You know what's coming up, don't you? What, me and Nikki going to Thorpe Park? No, your birthday.
Oh, that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, that's no big deal, is it? Listen, I've phoned up Shades.
We'll do, like, a foam party in the little room.
It'll be like pasha, mate.
I'm going to do pasha for you.
No, no, no.
Listen, listen, listen.
Nikki, yeah, you know she Well, she's done events.
She'd like to get involved, if that's all right with you.
She's got a real flair for that, do you know what I mean? She's like Would you be happy with that? Yeah.
You all right with that, mate? Yeah.
That'd be great, wouldn't it? Yeah, that'd be really good and that.
Nice one, mate.
That's really good.
I'm really happy about that.

Yeah.
Careful, mate.

What you doing? What you doing? It's all right, it just hasn't worked out.
It's looking lovely, mate.
It just ain't worked out.

That's all right.
Probably do one over there.
Don't leave this on here.
Mate? So, I think the bright pink against the slate grey That's beautiful.
That really works, doesn't it? That is beautiful.
Sugared almonds in there, put them on the tables as favours, and then when everyone comes in, if they just want to have a little nibble.
It's, like, such an easy thing to do, but it's quite posh.
Unique, that's what that is.
That took me hours on the computer.
I'm not surprised.
I taught myself, though.
I taught myself on WordArt.
Oh, wow.
I was thinking about that.
That was going to be a kind of balloon collage, in the corner.
Right.
You should get into events.
That's your forte, I tell you.
I don't know.
That's what you're good at.
Do you think? I don't even have to say anything, just look at that.
My idol is Esther Rantzen, because if I remember right, she set up NSPCC, and to set up a business like that, I just think that's amazing.
I'd probably do, like party planning.
There is something I need to talk to you about.
It's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about, right? Yeah? Dean, right, last big birthday party, he organised, right? And he did - fair play to the geezer - he did a really brilliant job.
Bless him, yeah.
I don't really want to cut him out of it, do you know what I mean? Because, like Oh, no.
No.
.
.
he'd be absolutely heartbroken if he couldn't get involved.
Would you be all right if he helped you? Oh, my God, babe, of course.
Why don't I take him for a coffee and a muffin? And I'll take all this out, I'll explain everything that I've planned already, and, I don't know, he might want to sort the napkins, or something.
I've not sorted napkins yet.
Thank you.
That's all right.
Where is Dean, by the way? I don't know.
OWL HOOTS Yeah, I've only ever seen Dean get off with someone once.
It was quite a few years ago, in this nightclub called Lips, and basically we were all sort of dancing around.
All of a sudden, I heard, "Quick! Quick! Quick! "Dean's getting off with someone.
Dean's getting off with someone.
" Anyway, house lights come on, reveal she's got Down's.
And then all her mates took the piss out of her for getting off with him, and he's never really got over that.
Still sticking, isn't it? Do you want to leave it open for Lee? No, he, um He ain't coming.
Oh, right.
Is he Is he out doing another job, or? No, he's just out with Nik, I think.
Nik? Yeah.
Something to do with the tap, is it? Yeah, just have a little look at the Lad's day out, then? Sort of No, Nikki.
Nikki? Yep.
Remind me - his sister? Girlfriend.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
That's That's the one.
So So it's still giving you bother and that, yeah? I mean, it's probably just a quick fix, sort of Yeah I mean, if you don't have time to do it today, Lee could pop round another time and do it.
Yeah, no, he won't, cos he's sorting out stuff for his party and that.
Yeah, the Which? His birthday party.
Oh, his birthday! Yeah, which I normally do.
She's doing all of it, of course.

"Come back soon, Lee! Come back!" I'm doing a chocolate fountain.
Oh, right? I need your help with that, actually.
We've got a lot of important jobs on the night.
As soon as someone takes a marshmallow and dips in the chocolate, I need that one replenished, so that the bowls just constantly look full of these gorgeous pink bubbles.
Tell me about Lee.
Give me some naughty stories.
Something I can use against him when he's doing my head in.
Has he told you about the time he killed the dog? Ah, that was well funny.

Sugared almonds in there, put them on the tables as favours, and then when everyone comes in, if they just want to have a little nibble.
It's, like, such an easy thing to do, but it's quite posh.
Unique, that's what that is.
That took me hours on the computer.
I'm not surprised.
I taught myself, though.
I taught myself on WordArt.
Oh, wow.
I was thinking about that.
That was going to be a kind of balloon collage, in the corner.
Right.
You should get into events.
That's your forte, I tell you.
I don't know.
That's what you're good at.
Do you think? I don't even have to say anything, just look at that.
My idol is Esther Rantzen, because if I remember right, she set up NSPCC, and to set up a business like that, I just think that's amazing.

he'd be absolutely heartbroken if he couldn't get involved.
Would you be all right if he helped you? Oh, my God, babe, of course.
Why don't I take him for a coffee and a muffin? And I'll take all this out, I'll explain everything that I've planned already, and, I don't know, he might want to sort the napkins, or something.
I've not sorted napkins yet.

Dean's getting off with someone.
" Anyway, house lights come on, reveal she's got Down's.
And then all her mates took the piss out of her for getting off with him, and he's never really got over that.
Still sticking, isn't it? Do you want to leave it open for Lee? No, he, um He ain't coming.
