Retrofit & net-zero in Brixton
Brixton is London Borough of Lambeth's victorian + edwardian terraces (1870-1910) + post-war infill + brixton market + 2000s regeneration submarket. Brixton Market (Electric Avenue, Market Row, Brixton Village) is Grade II listed as the earliest shopping precinct in the UK with electric lighting (1888) — ground-floor works here require LBC and typically a conservation-approved shopfront spec.
What a retrofit & net-zero project looks like here
Brixton Market (Electric Avenue, Market Row, Brixton Village) is Grade II listed as the earliest shopping precinct in the UK with electric lighting (1888) — ground-floor works here require LBC and typically a conservation-approved shopfront spec.
Lambeth's Article 4 on HMOs covers much of central Brixton — a 4-bed terrace converted to 5+ separate tenancies now requires full planning, with evidence of need and parking/amenity mitigation that frequently takes 14-20 weeks.
Because Brixton's late-Victorian terraces were often built with yellow London stock brick front elevations and red-brick rear-return kitchens, any rear extension must match the yellow-stock for the returned flank visible from adjacent gardens — planners enforce this on conservation grounds.

In Brixton specifically, victorian + edwardian terraces (1870-1910) + post-war infill + brixton market + 2000s regeneration stock means retrofit & net-zero scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Brixton retrofit & net-zero projects typically run $18K–$285K. Brixton's victorian + edwardian terraces (1870-1910) + post-war infill + brixton market + 2000s regeneration stock, combined with brixton town centre conservation area, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $152K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
