Water damage reinstatement in Blackheath
Blackheath is London Borough of Lewisham's georgian paragon and pagoda terraces (1790-1810) submarket. The Paragon (Michael Searles, 1794) is a Grade I listed crescent of seven Georgian houses linked by colonnaded screen walls; any internal alteration including kitchen reconfiguration here requires Grade I LBC consent through Lewisham conservation and Historic England review, adding roughly 12-16 weeks to consent.

The Paragon (Michael Searles, 1794) is a Grade I listed crescent of seven Georgian houses linked by colonnaded screen walls; any internal alteration including kitchen reconfiguration here requires Grade I LBC consent through Lewisham conservation and Historic England review, adding roughly 12-16 weeks to consent.
The Cator Estate (covering ~600 Vanbrugh Park, Pond Road, and Lee Terrace properties) holds a freehold deed-of-covenant scheme separate from Lewisham planning that explicitly polices materials, paint colour, and elevational changes; the Estate's review board adds 4-8 weeks to consent in addition to Lewisham determination.
The Span Estates (Eric Lyons, 1950s) on the Cator Estate are Grade II listed as a group, so any internal works that affect Lyons-designed built-in cabinetry, screen walls, or original elevations need Listed Building Consent through Lewisham's conservation team.

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.
