Dundee and Angus is a county of sandstone tenements, jute-era terraces and coastal town housing. 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
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our set of console brackets work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Dundee and Angus property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
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
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Console Brackets & Corbels in Dundee and Angus — common questions
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.
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.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
