What a commercial fit-out project looks like here
Tufnell Park sits on the Northern Line's Barnet branch — properties within 30m of the tunnel require a TfL Protection & Consent condition on any basement work (vibration monitoring, construction methodology review) that adds £4,000-£8,000 to LBC fees.
Islington Basement Policy DPD requires a separate Basement Construction Method Statement from a chartered engineer on any single-storey dig — this is a stricter gate than many North London boroughs.
Because Tufnell Park terraces were built speculatively for Great Northern Railway workers, many share a common 1880s footing detail with shallow lime-mortar bed-joint courses that fail under modern underpinning loads — specialist restoration underpinning is typically required, not the cheaper mass-concrete alternative.

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.
