Kitchen remodelling in Brockley
Brockley is London Borough of Lewisham's late victorian (1880-1900) yellow-stock-brick terraced villas submarket. Roughly 62% of Brockley's housing stock sits inside the Brockley Conservation Area, which covers most of Wickham Road, Manor Avenue, and Tressillian Road; the 2014 Article 4 Direction here removes Permitted Development rights for rear and side extensions, dormers, and replacement windows, so even like-for-like sash window replacement now needs a full householder application.
What a kitchen remodelling project looks like here
Roughly 62% of Brockley's housing stock sits inside the Brockley Conservation Area, which covers most of Wickham Road, Manor Avenue, and Tressillian Road; the 2014 Article 4 Direction here removes Permitted Development rights for rear and side extensions, dormers, and replacement windows, so even like-for-like sash window replacement now needs a full householder application.
The yellow-stock-brick terraces here were built with single-skin party walls in many places (to lower costs in the 1880s), which means any party wall structural opening for a rear extension needs significantly more steelwork than the comparable London-stock terrace nearby in Forest Hill, adding roughly 12-18% to structural costs.
Hilly Fields Park's Tree Preservation Orders cover the eastern boundary trees that overlook many Wickham Road gardens, so any rear extension within 30m of the park boundary needs an arboricultural impact assessment to demonstrate root protection zone compliance.

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.
