Herefordshire is a county of half-timbered farmhouses, sandstone cottages and low-density rural properties. 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 Herefordshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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 Herefordshire — common questions
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.
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.
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.
