Window & door replacement in Limehouse
Limehouse is London Borough of Tower Hamlets's georgian merchants' houses + victorian thames-wharf warehouses + 1980s-2000s docklands new-build submarket. Many Limehouse lofts are conversions of 1860s-1890s wharf warehouses where the original cast-iron columns and pitch-pine floor joists are listed — even internal alterations need LBC and a conservation engineer, a frequent surprise for buyers of apparently-modern loft conversions.

Many Limehouse lofts are conversions of 1860s-1890s wharf warehouses where the original cast-iron columns and pitch-pine floor joists are listed — even internal alterations need LBC and a conservation engineer, a frequent surprise for buyers of apparently-modern loft conversions.
Environment Agency flood zone 3 tidal means any ground-floor alteration here needs FRA sign-off; the EA will refuse habitable-room conversions below 5.6m AOD without a flood-resilience package (sump, non-return valves, raised thresholds).
Limehouse Basin is a sensitive heritage asset — projects within 100m of the basin face a setting-of-heritage-asset review that adds 3-5 weeks to a standard planning timeline, even where the property itself is unlisted.

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.
