Water damage reinstatement in Manor House
Manor House is London Borough of Hackney's late victorian (1880-1900) terraces submarket. The Woodberry Down Estate regeneration (Berkeley Homes and Hackney Council, 2010-ongoing) is governed by a single Section 106 master agreement that requires landlord consent for any internal alteration affecting the heat-network supply, even minor hob conversions need a network-operator notice that adds 2-3 weeks.

The Woodberry Down Estate regeneration (Berkeley Homes and Hackney Council, 2010-ongoing) is governed by a single Section 106 master agreement that requires landlord consent for any internal alteration affecting the heat-network supply, even minor hob conversions need a network-operator notice that adds 2-3 weeks.
The two Stoke Newington Reservoirs (East and West) are managed by the London Wildlife Trust as a Local Nature Reserve, and the eastern reservoir is a statutory consultee for any planning application within 100m that could affect the wildlife corridor.
Many of the late-Victorian terraces around Lordship Park were built on made-up ground over the original New River channel, and foundation surveys here often find ash and clinker fill at 0.6-1.2m depth; rear extensions routinely need pile foundations rather than spread-footing.

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.
