Thats great cheers. I think i'll go the 133mm casing route. How much wider would you cut the opening then? I guess i'd need the width of a casing (32"?) plus enough for plaster either side and the arc? So the casing would have to be packed off the brick a fair distance? Any one got any...

...in need of renovation or land ripe for extensions? Not sure if this is the right section but here it goes... Where is the best place to find a house that needs work and can be extended? I'm after such a property but most property search engines offer "recently renovated" properties...

Many thanks for the ideas, ive nearly finished... In the end yes I satinwood painted before fitting and caulked to wall and joints afterwards... Then masked floor and gave the second coat keeping clear of the floor... Looks mint...
