Retrofit & net-zero in Greenwich
Greenwich is Royal Borough of Greenwich's georgian terraces (maritime greenwich whs) + victorian terraces + post-war infill submarket. Maritime Greenwich UNESCO WHS buffer zone extends roughly 500m beyond the core inscribed area, so even an unlisted Victorian terrace in E.Greenwich can need a Heritage Impact Assessment for a roof dormer — adds £3,500-£6,000 to planning costs.
What a retrofit & net-zero project looks like here
Maritime Greenwich UNESCO WHS buffer zone extends roughly 500m beyond the core inscribed area, so even an unlisted Victorian terrace in E.Greenwich can need a Heritage Impact Assessment for a roof dormer — adds £3,500-£6,000 to planning costs.
Greenwich Park's Protected Vista from the Royal Observatory towards St Paul's (the Mayor's London View Management Framework) restricts roof-level extensions across a corridor through E.Greenwich that no amount of planning mitigation can unlock.
Crooms Hill has a concentration of Grade II* listings with original 1690s-1720s joinery and floorboards — a single replacement window here can require a bespoke LBC application with conservation-joiner detail drawings, 12-16 weeks.
PAS 2035 whole-house retrofit, ECO4 grant scoping, MCS heat-pump install, GLA London Plan 2021 carbon targets and Mayor's Energy Efficiency Fund. In Greenwich specifically, georgian terraces (maritime greenwich whs) + victorian terraces + post-war infill stock means retrofit & net-zero scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's London scoping flow factors maritime greenwich unesco world heritage site buffer zone and greenwich park setting into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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
Greenwich retrofit & net-zero projects typically run $18K–$285K. Greenwich's georgian terraces (maritime greenwich whs) + victorian terraces + post-war infill stock, combined with maritime greenwich unesco world heritage site buffer zone, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $152K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
