Mews & garage remodel in Islington

Canonbury Square (1805-1831) and Barnsbury Square (1830-1840) have intact early-Georgian terraces — original box sash windows and door cases are Grade II listed, and any replacement here needs full LBC, not permitted-development.
Islington's Basement Policy DPD is among the strictest in inner London — requiring Basement Impact Assessment on any single-storey dig, Basement Construction Method Statement signed by a chartered engineer, and monitoring of neighbouring properties during excavation.
Because Islington terraces sit on London Clay with high shrink-swell potential, basement conversions here routinely trigger heave monitoring over 12-18 months post-completion — a legal condition on LBC that is frequently missed at handover.

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.
