Fife is a county of pantiled fishing-village cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern commuter estates. 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
A set of console brackets is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Fife in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Console Brackets & Corbels in Fife — common questions
What is a console bracket?
The scrolled bracket at the top of each pilaster where it meets the fascia. Structurally it is trim; visually it is the detail that separates a considered frontage from a flat one.
Can you copy an existing bracket?
Yes. If one survives we take it off, template it and reproduce the pair. If none survives we work from photographs of the terrace and match the local pattern.
Do they need separate consent?
Not usually on their own, but on a listed building they form part of the approved elevation, so the profile matters to the officer.
Do they serve any function?
They mask the joint between the pilaster and the fascia and throw a little water clear of it. Mostly, though, they exist because the eye expects the vertical to terminate in something.
Do you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
