Kitchen remodelling in Lewisham
Lewisham is London Borough of Lewisham's mid-victorian (1850-1880) terraces submarket. Lewisham's town centre sits inside the GLA's Tall Buildings Zone, so any new development above 30m falls under a Mayor of London Stage 1 referral, which adds roughly 4-8 calendar weeks to consent on top of Lewisham planning's 8-13 week determination.
What a kitchen remodelling project looks like here
Lewisham's town centre sits inside the GLA's Tall Buildings Zone, so any new development above 30m falls under a Mayor of London Stage 1 referral, which adds roughly 4-8 calendar weeks to consent on top of Lewisham planning's 8-13 week determination.
Many of the post-WW2 LCC estate flats around Loampit Vale are leasehold under the original 99-year LCC ground rent structure, so kitchen and bathroom remodels need a parallel landlord (council) consent through the Right to Manage process before Building Control can issue a completion certificate.
The Quaggy and Ravensbourne river systems feed two separate Thames Water surface-water trunks under Lewisham Town Centre, so basement schemes within 30m of either trunk need a build-over agreement before Building Regs can be discharged.

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.
