Bathroom remodelling in Oval
Oval is London Borough of Lambeth's late georgian and regency (1810-1840) kennington park-edge terraces submarket. The Duchy of Cornwall holds the freehold on roughly 120 properties around Kennington Park including parts of Kennington Oval, so projects need a parallel Duchy Estate Consent on top of Lambeth planning; the Duchy review tends to be stricter on visible elevational changes than Lambeth and adds 4-8 calendar weeks.

The late-Georgian terraces along Kennington Park Road have shallow brick footings at 0.7-0.9m on London Clay, so any basement excavation under Lambeth's Q1 policy almost always triggers Party Wall Act underpinning notices on both flanks.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
