The Restoration Man is a British home improvement television series produced by British television and film production company Tiger Aspect Productions (Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Dibley) for the Channel 4 network. The show is hosted by English architect and television presenter George Clark, and follows him travelling around Great Britain in search of people who are working on the restoration of historically and architecturally significant buildings. This includes people converting previously non-residential structure, such as churches and windmills, into homes. Each episode of The Restoration Man typically features one project and revolves around the main difficulties the owners face during the conversion, including the many restrictions that exist for listed buildings. At the same time, Clarke researches each building's history and architecture, interviews people who previously lived or worked there, and shares these findings with the new owners.
