Ceredigion is a county of colour-washed coastal terraces and remote stone farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a set of console brackets has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Walls in Ceredigion are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A set of console brackets that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Console Brackets & Corbels in Ceredigion — common questions
How are they fixed?
Screwed and plugged from behind into the pilaster head, never face-fixed. Face fixings show up through paint within a couple of years.
Can they be fitted to a modern frontage?
They can, but out of context they look applied rather than structural. On a plain modern elevation a clean pilaster head usually reads better.
Are they carved or moulded?
Both exist. A simple scroll is worked from solid on the spindle moulder; a period console with acanthus detail is hand-carved. We quote whichever the elevation actually needs.
What timber are they made from?
Solid hardwood, usually iroko or sapele for exterior work. Laminated stock is used where the scroll is deeper than available thickness, with joints placed to be invisible in the finished profile.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
