THE 'two fat tradies' Mark and Duncan say their winning room on the latest episode of The Block: All Stars took them 18 years to design.

The pair wowed the judges with their children's room, one-upping their second placed room from the previous week.

"We were pretty surprised how well we did with the first one, absolutely thrilled," a chuffed Duncan told news.com.au, "and to win the second won, what can we say, we were absolutely speechless.

"It was a room that I guess you can say took us 18 years to design, because we've got eight kids between us so if we were going to get a room right, it had to be a kid's room."

Duncan, who said he was made Chief of Design, used the experience of his four boys, aged 18, 16, 14 and 12 as inspiration for the room.

"I did it more as a boy's room than a girl's, obviously having four boys myself I knew what boys liked and what should be on the shelves and what they like to look at and the best thing about it was that it was appreciated by the judges too.

"Some of the things that are in there are exactly the same as I've done at home - the skateboards for art, I'd done that for one of my other boys, the lego play table, I built one five years ago for my boys and it's probably the most used item in our house.

Duncan says he and Mark have enjoyed a resurgence of confidence since their first stint on the show in 2010.

"In two weeks we went from 'oh my God, are we going to totally embarrass ourselves?', to 'hey, we can actually win this.'"

Josh and Jenna won the first room reveal in last week's episode.

"To get a second and a win, has been a fairytale script so far," added Duncan.
