Northamptonshire is a county of ironstone villages, Victorian boot-and-shoe terraces and large new settlements. 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 Northamptonshire property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
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 Northamptonshire — common questions
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.
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.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
