Console Brackets & Corbels in Lanarkshire

Carved and scrolled brackets at the head of each pilaster.

Lanarkshire is a county of sandstone and brick terraces, former mining stock and large new 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

Walls in Lanarkshire 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

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

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.

Fit & handover

We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.

Straight answers

Console Brackets & Corbels in Lanarkshire — 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.

How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?

Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
