Resin flooring in Paddington

Paddington is Woollahra Council's late-victorian (1880-1900) terrace housing — single-fronted to triple-fronted submarket. Most Paddington terraces sit on Sydney sandstone foundations cut at roughly 600-800mm below floor level, so any rear extension that requires excavation triggers a structural-engineer report and often a temporary-works design under Woollahra Council's heritage-fabric retention policy.

What a resin flooring project looks like here

Most Paddington terraces sit on Sydney sandstone foundations cut at roughly 600-800mm below floor level, so any rear extension that requires excavation triggers a structural-engineer report and often a temporary-works design under Woollahra Council's heritage-fabric retention policy.

Cast-iron lacework on Paddington verandas is protected as 'heritage-significant fabric' under the Woollahra LEP — replacements must be foundry-cast to the original profile, which adds typically A$8,000-15,000 to a streetfront restoration scope.

Because Paddington terraces share sandstone party walls with shallow rubble cores, party-wall excavation requires a CDC engineer's certification under SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development) — most builders here run a pre-DA dilapidation survey on both neighbours before lodging.

Epoxy and polyurethane resin floors — garages, basements, mews-house workshops, commercial industrial. In Paddington specifically, late-victorian (1880-1900) terrace housing — single-fronted to triple-fronted stock means resin flooring scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
