Sloping-site & basement in Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington is London Borough of Hackney's early-victorian terraces (1840-1880) + church street georgian + clissold park setting submarket. Church Street's Georgian terraces (1710-1760) are unusually early for N16 and have original timber-cased windows with crown glass — LBC here routinely requires crown-glass or cylinder-glass replacement rather than modern float glass, at a 4-6× premium on glazing cost.

Abney Park Cemetery's Grade II* Registered Park status creates an archaeology watching-brief requirement on excavation within 50m of the cemetery boundary — relevant to several terraces on Stoke Newington High Street.
Because Hackney's Core Strategy energy overlay bites at extension size >50 m², many Stoke Newington side-returns plus loft combos sit just below that threshold to avoid the heat pump mandate — a common scope-design tactic among local designers.
London's signature subterranean development — Hampstead, Highgate, Notting Hill basement extensions. Most boroughs now cap at single-storey below principal elevation; Party Wall Act underpinning notices on both flanks. In Stoke Newington specifically, early-victorian terraces (1840-1880) + church street georgian + clissold park setting stock means sloping-site & basement 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.
