What a window & door replacement project looks like here
Bedford Square (1775-1783) is possibly the most architecturally intact Georgian square in London — every property is Grade I listed, and Listed Building Consent is required even for replacement door-knockers and house numbers, not just structural or elevational change.
Because the Bedford Estate sold large blocks of freehold in 1920, ownership is mosaic rather than uniform — one Bloomsbury terrace can contain freeholds, Bedford Estate leaseholds (with 99- or 125-year terms), and University of London leaseholds side-by-side, each with different consent protocols.
Camden's Planning Guidance CPG5 on basements is among the strictest in London, requiring a Basement Impact Assessment by a chartered structural engineer + a Basement Construction Management Plan for any excavation — adds roughly £14,000-£22,000 on top of LBC fees for a typical Bloomsbury basement conversion.
Conservation-area + Listed Building specification — slim-profile double-glazed sashes, FENSA-registered installs, Article 4 Direction screening on any like-for-like swap.

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.
