Fire damage reinstatement in London Fields
London Fields is London Borough of Hackney's mid-victorian london-stock-brick terraces (1855-1885) submarket. London Fields' Victorian terraces here typically sit on shallow 0.6-0.8m London-stock-brick spread footings over the Hackney gravel terrace, so any rear extension that requires modern Building Regs underpinning to 1.0m almost always needs Party Wall notice on both flanks because the neighbour's footing is at the same shallow depth.

London Fields' Victorian terraces here typically sit on shallow 0.6-0.8m London-stock-brick spread footings over the Hackney gravel terrace, so any rear extension that requires modern Building Regs underpinning to 1.0m almost always needs Party Wall notice on both flanks because the neighbour's footing is at the same shallow depth.
The 2014 Hackney Article 4 Direction strips Permitted Development rights on flank-wall windows, side dormers, and basement extensions across the entire London Fields CA, so even a rooflight needs a full householder application with a 8-week determination clock.
Many of the 1990s Mare Street warehouse conversions are Class B1-to-C3 conversions completed under the old GPDO 1995 Section 106 affordable-housing carve-out, which means any current alteration that affects the original loft elevation triggers a Section 106 deed-of-variation on top of Building Control.

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.
