Kitchen remodelling in Kennington
Kennington is London Borough of Lambeth's late georgian (1780-1830) cleaver square terraces submarket. Roughly 62% of Cleaver Square and the surrounding Duchy of Cornwall freehold parcels are Grade II listed, which means any internal works including kitchen layout changes that affect chimney breasts, lath-and-plaster ceilings, or original Georgian sash windows need Listed Building Consent in addition to Lambeth planning, adding 6-12 weeks to consent.
What a kitchen remodelling project looks like here
Roughly 62% of Cleaver Square and the surrounding Duchy of Cornwall freehold parcels are Grade II listed, which means any internal works including kitchen layout changes that affect chimney breasts, lath-and-plaster ceilings, or original Georgian sash windows need Listed Building Consent in addition to Lambeth planning, adding 6-12 weeks to consent.
The Duchy of Cornwall holds the freehold on most Kennington properties south of Kennington Lane, so projects need a parallel Duchy Estate Consent on top of LBC and planning; the Duchy review tends to be stricter on visible elevational changes than Lambeth itself and adds roughly 4-8 calendar weeks.
Many of the Cleaver Square Georgian terraces have shallow brick-rubble footings at 0.7-0.9m depth on London Clay, so basement excavation under Lambeth's Q1 policy almost always needs Party Wall Act underpinning notices on all flanks.

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.
