What a water damage reinstatement project looks like here

Walworth sits inside the Elephant and Castle Opportunity Area Planning Framework, so any scheme above 10 units is subject to the OAPF's 35% affordable housing target plus a Whole Life Carbon assessment under the Mayor's London Plan 2021.

Many of the leasehold flats in the post-Heygate Elephant Park development are subject to a Section 106 covenant requiring landlord (Lendlease) consent for any internal alteration that affects the heat-network supply, which in practice means kitchen hob conversions and combi-boiler swaps need a parallel network-operator notice on top of Building Regs.

Walworth Road's mid-Victorian terraces have ~0.6m London-stock-brick footings on London Clay, so any rear extension or basement scheme almost always triggers Party Wall Act underpinning on both flanks because the neighbour's footings are at the same shallow depth.

Origin

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.
